+1 on gunnutz, you will find a vast array of resources available for the restorer, check out louthepou's works of art on there, great guy, lots of knowledge and does beautiful work. Jouster can also be a good resource. Milsurps.com is probably the best though. I recently finished restoring a...

I am sorry to inform you all that you are clearly wrong about what this man caught. It is clearly Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who chose not to open a can of whoop-ass in front of the crowd for fear of exposing himself. Tomorrow's newspaper will probably read that Mr. Xian was...

Well, as a reservIST, you will do a little bit of everything, for example, the unit I belong to is doing FIBUA/OBUA training right now, to be followed by the gunfighter program. There will be slow nights, where you might go over comms or nav, little refreshers for those who have done such things...

I know it doesnt sound right, but the individual swears that the tape was left on, FWIW, i trust the guy. That being said, who knows, but it did make for an interesting moment to say the least. Nobody was hurt, and thats what mattered in this occasion, and consequentially we all pay a little bit...

FWIW a section mate of mine had an issue with one of the newer T-flashes, went off in the cargo pocket of his pants while doing section attacks, unprepped and all. Incident report filed and all t-flashes were seized from the rest of our company. Needless to say, he was happy he didnt have it in...

Too bad the iPhone isnt made for the jolting that the weapon will put it through. While the unit is great if your going for a run, i doubt it was made for this kind of abuse.

Interesting, seems to me like this app is a little overpriced all things considered, since "ballistics" is available at under 5$ as well as iSnipe. Best thing about Ballistics (have first hand experience with it) is that you pick your bullet (and i mean bullet, not cartridge) from a huge list...

Flawed, think you could do a step by step and post it or would you rather send it out via PM chain? I'm sure many of us would appreciate it. If you want to keep it to the PM chain, once you send it to me I can distribute as well.

As Overwatch said, if they are over 500fps, they are considered a firearm. In fact, anything over 500 fps is considered a firearm. A cousin of mine registered his homemade potato gun to see if they would, and alas, they did. Most pellet rifles will advertise as shooting 495 fps, but most of...

Not worth it, keep your SMLE as is (especially if it has full wood and the nosecap). I am in the process of restoring a no. 3 and rebarreling it would just not be kosher in my opinion, especially not for the cost. The big problem with your conversion is that the .303 uses a rimmed cartridge...

I second the Miniworks EX, i did extensive research before buying and found the Katadyn vario (its most direct competition) wanting on many levels. First off is the ceramic prefilter that always clogs and is reputed to be almost impossible to clean an get full flow recovery in the field. Also...

how I wish I could get the belt off that webbing....replace my ruck's hip belt with it. About the right size too.... Tried at the surplus, but they only have something in the rage of 40 some inches, little big for me in the low thirty range...

I saw that thread a little while back, just thought that maybe this was another option worth looking at. It would be interesting to see how they would match up with both TW and AR combats via photo, sounds like an alright idea though, i think the key here though is rough side out, though the...

To revive a somewhat older thread, we all know how bad this cadpat boot looks as well the argument that aftermarket boots would be impossible in this case. Also, it's pretty common knowledge that its the fact that the boots are black that they stand out, being that this is not a natural colour...

Don't worry if you don' t have any guests, I was the same, soon enough youll have a new extended family to count on, not only the no-hooks like yourselves when you get it, but youll soon find that it extends well beyond chevrons and bars.  It truly is a great organization, unlike any other.

I know its probably a little late now, but i ordered me 5/8 on center rail (also look for reinforced handguard, some call it that) from TDI arms. Works fine for me as a lowly reservist. I also picked up a vert grip and quick disconnect flashlight mount from them while I was at it. They shipped...

Theres actually a very nice mounting point on the tac vest, excluding the shoulder area, if your canteen opening is horizontal, you will find that the daisy chain webbing underneath the canteen protrudes high a few inches, any small MOLLE pouch (flashlight to knife size) fits on there quite...

4 1/2 is nothing even close to a pigsticker, especially when you have a steel shard pointed straight your neck because its "supposed to go there". And really, the pigsticker thing is taken completely out of context these days anyhow, a pigsticker refers to a spike bayonet, and the term was...

Advance, if you want, wait until the fall, see me at the unit, theres a few guys there with some pretty good steel on their hands, I like to think of myself as one of them. I second the SOG Trident, I own two of them actually. That stays in my pocket at ALL times in uniform. secondly, ive got a...

I happen to know many Aerospace Eng's, including some working on projects for DND, and I think the problem here is that if we took your suggestion and acted upon it, by the time we had a working prototype the service life of the CF-18 would have long expired. Quite simply, we have invested too...
