    Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggestions?

    Re: Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggesti Barrett Rifles have gotten better than they use to be. Our section recieved 3 brand new M107s before we deployed to AF. All 3 guns were 1-2 MOA guns. Each gun was easily capable of hitting the standard E-TYPE target @ 1000m. In 2005, I saw...

    Fieldcraft How to remove Krylon from AICS?

    Re: How to remove Krylon from AICS? DEET( the stuff found in most bug sprays) Off Deep Woods is what we used in both Iraq and Afghanistan on our M4s. Each weapon looked brand new. It takes some work but was well worth it.

    Hunting & Fishing buddys monster indiana buck

    Re: buddys monster indiana buck rth, we dont doubt your knowledge on B/C standards. I think most of us look at the picture and bypass the given score. The score is irrelevant to us. What is a fact and not Bullshit at all is that is one hell of a deer. I doubt I will ever get the chance to...

    Fieldcraft IBCT Scout Platoon

    Re: IBCT Scout Platoon good luck bro. we sent 2 guys from our BN to the school this past summer and there was no APFT. It's obvious that the unit should only send soldiers that are prepared but we all know that is rarely the case. Most soldiers you will find in the BN sniper section most...

    Re: NEW sniper show... Agreed. I read his book not fully knowing its contents. I was appalled by his arrogance. I finished the book and quickly discarded it. it doesn't take an expert to know what he is all about. Unfortunately, It's people like him who often get the recognition.

    Fieldcraft IBCT Scout Platoon

    Re: IBCT Scout Platoon I agree 100%. You lower the standards and you put everything at risk. I'm not sure what needs to happen to reverse this. I think units will need to step up on who they accept into their sniper sections. Time will tell.

    Gear Queer or Well Equiped?

    Re: Gear Queer or Well Equiped? +1 for not having anything attached to your legs. I tryed that in Iraq with a 4 mag thigh rig. Basically it did more harm than good. The leg straps would come loose and the rig would slap against my leg. Also, maneuvering over walls and through homes sometimes...

    Re: IBCT Scout Platoon The 6'8" giant your referring to is no longer there from what I have heard. Also they lost 2 other instructors that were top notch. Hopefully the Camp Rob school will continue. I remember having to TROTT behind him to match his "walk in the park" pace. Another thing...
