I like to play World of Tanks, but being in Afghanistan I have a hugh latenancy issues... I drive off cliffs, run over trees.  I have the same lag on the US, EU, and RU servers.  I am learning to lead my shots to take into account of the lag and it is starting to come together nicely. But in...

Thank OZ, we can go to the indoor range on a Wed night during their pistol shoot and ask is we can zero our Glocks... then pull out the Kriss  aka "Thumper" and my KPOS... and watch their heads explode.... KPOS kit for Glock 17/19/34/35... with Burris FastFire II sight.  I do have to zero both...

After seeing the pick of the Kriss Vector earlier in the post, I had to get one... "But Hun, it fell into my trunk"  I was home on two weeks leave and bought 3 guns. The best part is that it is non restricted... so I walked out of the store with it :-) Kriss Vector in .45 ACP, Bushnell...

Always being away or deployed and having a spouse  and family back home is always a difficult thing to accept. I think it is harder on the spouses than the members. My Wife has been very supportive over the years is the foundation of our relationship.  The old saying "A Happy Wife is a Happy...

Today I presented our APPF Colonel with a pair of boots I purchased at One Shot Tactical Supply for Operation Walking Tall.  The Colonel was so taken back by the gesture that he had to wipe the tears from his eyes. This Colonel has seen a lot of combat and has been injured many times, shot...

Roger that,  I am the only guy that is making it happen... I met with several retailers while I was on R&R.  I have already donated 11 pairs of used boots and purchased a few sets of new boots for the worst cases. Its a small thing for me but a hugh thing for the guards. Cheers Pop

Thanks OZ, I just picked up Jeff from Valley Gunsmithing in Petawawa. Cheers Pop

I didn't either until watching them crush the Americans, other Expat teams and the TCN's.  I was amazed who quickly they took up the game,  setting up, the smash, the spikes... I must say I was impressed.  They played in Combat boots, Flip Flops, bare feet on the dirt/rocks,  they did not care...

I am sure I wasn't,  having never heard of the Col. or have read his memoirs, it must be a shared respect, or maybe it is our upbringing?  Maybe I am finally maturing and seeing things for what they are? Thank you all for the kind words. Cheers Pop

Mindset, When I was on tour in Kandahar, our mindset was focused on the enemy, what we thought about them as a people was clouded by our hate, prejudices, and our indifference.  Now being over here for a year and a half as a civilian I can say that I have gained a whole new insight and an...

I spent the afternoon refurbuishing more AK's,  two more completed... missed a few spots.  Chemical cold blueing does make the old girls look a lot better.  The Afghan guards are strutting around proud as new Fathers now. I will keep refurbishing a couple every friday until all of them are done...

I decided to spruce up the old girl, she turned 60 this year...my daily shooter is a 1953 Type 2 AK-47.  Steel milled receiver, chrome piston group and chrome lined barrel. It has a great trigger and works great but the finish is almost completely worn off.  So today I decided to spruce her up a...

While I was still in the Military I arranged quite a few of Depart with Dignity with the help of of a good team.  When I retired I had an excellent DwD at the end of my career. Now my Son was Medicaly released today (PTSD from tour in Afghanistan) and was cast to the curb without even a...

It was given to me many years ago, I didn't have that caliber but the old guy wanted me to have it.  As for surplus or reloads? , I will have to take a closer look, its been 20 years since I opened those boxes and I have reloaded hundred of thousands bullets since then... everything looks brass...

Great to hear, I looked over her for many years as Bud was restoring her.  Is Bud Ayre still around and in charge of the project?  Bud was my old Sgt back in the 80's. Cheers Pop

I still remember a Major telling me that my CWO and MWO and other unit Officers thought I was a "Wannabe"  Because I was Air Force and liked firearms, they thought I was an Army Wannabe.  But they did not realize until my release and after reviewing my file that I was qualified on more weapons...

I have been a part of a few fun shoots at sea, skeet shooting raising money for charity, shooting mops towed behind he ship... but that doesn't happen often... Some harbours and ports can be dangerous if you wonder into the wrong parts of town in Venezuela... Ed was under the influence, and...
