AR 10 VS M1A EBR
Re: AR 10 VS M1A EBR I have experience with both the M110 SASS and the M14EBR in afghanistan. Hands down M110 (or AR10). My biggest complaint of the EBR is the chassis.

45 degree mount for Doc optic Q?

Re: Questions on current Basic, AIT & ACU / DCU Went through Benning in 2010, and received no training with sticks or bayonets.

Fieldcraft creatures encountered on a stalk
Re: creatures encountered on a stalk We were gearing up at our patrol base during some training here on bragg, and as I went to put my ACH on I noticed a big black dot in my helmet, so I gave it a good shake and it skittered under my helmet pads. So I shined a light on it to find the biggest...- Shamus

Fieldcraft Multi cam base for Ghillie? / DCU Ghillie build
Re: Multi cam base for Ghillie? yeah, I'm kinda starting to see that now. Another question for guys who went through army sniper school, the packing list I received said nothing about a drag bag, just a completed ghillie suit. Is a drag bag considered part of the ghillie? Or did you even...- Shamus

Fieldcraft Multi cam base for Ghillie? / DCU Ghillie build
Re: Multi cam base for Ghillie? Got the front skids and elbows cut out, but ran out of shoegoo last night, I managed to get one of the pockets sewn in on the inside. Sewing is NOT my strong point, but it should hold. I may have them add some extra thread to it when I have the belly skids sewn.- Shamus

Re: Multi cam base for Ghillie? Ok, so I scrapped the multicam idea. I found it for 60 bucks locally, but ended up getting a set of dcu's for $20 complete with boonie, which raises the next question... The black vents on the desert boonie, what did you guys do with them? paint them, take...- Shamus
