re: Fishing Bon Secour from the highway in ft Morgan.

Nah, we own a lot near navy cove. Fishing on that side generally sucks and will get you mostly croaker and hard heads with an occasional flounder in there.

I rattle canned my DD MK18 upper and DD lower today in Rapco 30118 Field Drab. It’s an almost spot on match for KAC taupe. Turned out pretty sweet

Point of impact can shift. I have several Surefire RC2’s, KAC NT4s and a Rhodie 6. The Rhodie is all around excellent but I have noticed impact shifts with it. Silencers the military use like the Surefire and KAC have much less of it, the RC2 has none really

re: Nobody can get into Texas or Vanderbilt, but what the next hardest school to get into?

Posted by artompkins on 5/9/26 at 7:35 pm to charliethehun

Every school in the conference, vandy included will take transfers. It’s easy as frick to get in that way. I checked in to transferring to Vandy and Florida to finish my engineering degree and was told it was a sure thing as long as all sophomore classes were complete including Thermo and engineering Econ. Finished up at the Colorado School of Mines though.

For anyone with a GWOT or FDE build, KAC has the Taupe rail covers finally back in stock after a few years gone but they won’t last long.

A guy from Metarie at a gun show recently in Pensacola had a Sons of Liberty MK1 SBR he wanted to trade for my M14 National Match Quantico Team rifle. I didn't do and instantly regretted it. I called the guy today to see if he still had it and I'm driving over today. He will have to ship it to my FFL but I'm good with that. Glad he still had it. It's the hard coat anodized devgru version so it's already hard to find to begin with.
