Glad to have you and even gladder that it suits you.

That is way way nicer than my first AR. I had to buy mine in pieces here/there to save money and build it myself. LOL That is a really sweet setup, kudos. As far a bore snakes go, I have a few long guns that take quite a bit of heft to pull them through. In fact, I was certain I was gonna tear string and weight off the snake first time or two. Man, they are tough as nails, but aside from a dish tub and some Dawn I ain't found an easy way to clean them yet.

I just got a yaesu ftm-510 and am starting into aprs. Has a bit of a steep learning curve so far.

welcome, i live not too far South of you.

OXR! Small world!

I have a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 for pocket carry and so far it is very good with no issues. I'm hoping to try out a Walther PD380 for IWB carry next week. I have high hopes for its performance from all that I have read. It is my first choice to try out after looking at and reading much about several others. I took a close look at the Beretta 80X and it appears to be a good pistol, but a bit fat in the grip for my hands.

New in Box. 1/8. Full length M Loc. $280 Any Questions PM only.

My current primary carry is a Sig P239 SAS. I like it a lot, but it is borderline practical for concealed carry on my small frame, however it does conceal fairly well under a T-shirt. I've done a lot of searching for something a bit more practical. I've selected a Walther PD380 and a H&K P30sk. The 380 may be a little easier on my old and arthritic hands. I own and shoot a couple of striker fired and I like them, but I prefer a DA/SA semi-auto or a revolver for EDC. I'm eager to see how my new selections work out. If they don't work I'll stay with my current carry and go back into search and trade mode. Like they say, there is no perfect choice, but the search is fun. Good luck.

One stage this year will honor MAJ Paul R. Syverson III, who was killed June 16, 2004 during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Balad, Iraq. FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — When CIA agent Johnny “Mike” Spann was killed in an Afghanistan prison uprising, Maj. Paul R. Syverson III was one of the Special Forces commandos sent in to retrieve his body and curtail the intense fighting. It was Syverson’s death that family members and comrades mourned Tuesday during a memorial service. The decorated officer was killed two weeks into his third tour of duty in Iraq — a tour he volunteered to do despite having a newborn daughter. Syverson, 32, of Lake Zurich, Ill., was killed June 16 while standing outside the PX at a U.S. base north of Baghdad where he stopped to buy equipment for fellow soldiers from the 5th Special Forces Group, based at Fort Campbell, Ky. Insurgents killed him and another soldier in what was described as either a mortar or rocket attack at Camp Anaconda, in Balad, Iraq. “It is a great loss to our organization that someone the quality of Maj. Syverson is gone,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Haas, outside the memorial chapel following the service. “We will take care of his family.” He is survived by his wife, Jackie, his son, Paul, 7, and daughter Amy, 2 months. During the ceremony, Maj. Scott Brower recalled Syverson being among the “legendary” 5th Group soldiers who responded during the November 2001 prison uprising at the fortress of Qala-i-Janghi in Mazer-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. Spann was the first American killed in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. John Walker Lindh, the American serving a 20-year sentence for helping the Taliban, was first discovered in the prison. “They did regain control of that fortress, receive Mike Spann’s body to be brought home to his family, as well as capture Johnny Walker Lindh in one of the fiercest battles in our past,” Brower said. Syverson, however, was one of five soldiers injured in the uprising by a misguided U.S. bomb. He had severe back injuries and earned a Purple Heart for his wounds. He also received a Bronze Star for his actions in Afghanistan. Despite ongoing pain, he did not complain. He was known for his leadership skills and was well-liked. When he was a company commander, “his soldiers would stop what they were doing just to speak with him or be near him if only for a few moments,” Haas said. Syverson was scheduled to return home from Iraq a week after his death to attend school at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He volunteered to go to Iraq a third time to set up for other soldiers to soon follow. “He chose to volunteer one more time to help out this organization and not ask another soldier to go in his place,” Haas said. “That really sums up what a fantastic, outstanding soldier and officer he was.” Mourners at the memorial service dabbed their eyes with tissue as the song “Amazing Grace” was played on bagpipes. During a customary roll call, Maj. Syverson’s name was called out three times to silence. Syverson is the 62nd soldier from Fort Campbell to die in the Iraq war. Three others were from the 5th Group. The rest were from the 101st Airborne Division. Two additional Bronze Stars and another Purple Heart are to be issued to Syverson posthumously. “Paul Syverson was a patriot who loved his family and his country,” Brower said. “Paul Syverson was our friend. Paul Syverson was an American hero,” Brower said. — Associated Press

The grip is the full size grip.

According to AI The SIG Sauer M400 DH3 rifle is not anodized. Instead, it has a Cerakote Elite Titanium finish. I suspect it is aluminum as I just tried a magnet against it and it didn't stick.

Is that plain adulterated, aluminum, or is that some kind of anodized coating on it?
