It may be lighter but an M16 does not fill the role of a squad support weapon no matter the magazine capacity.

Tried heating them up, no cosmoline ooze. Not particularly wanting to do a stain as it already had one prior to me cleaning the rifle. I clean with brake parts cleaner and it stripped the finish off the wood. This is what the wood looked like prior to BPC hitting it. Anyone have a mag full of cosmoline grease I can borrow for a bit? I'll return it clean for you.

Decided to do a little bit of carving on one of my Yugo M72 RPK's. This was all done with my pocket knife. I did draw the designs out with a pencil prior to cutting though. The theme was duality. The right side of the rifle is a cross, flowers and scrollwork. The left is death and skulls. Handguard Stock Still deciding what I want to do with the finish. I was thinking about getting some cosmoline and rubbing it in to darken up the carvings and stain the stock. Mike

I run one of the thorntail mounts on my 74 with an ultimak. Best light mounting solution that's come up yet. Mike

Call On Target. I don't have his info at hand. They will be able to put you in touch with him. Mike

Somehow I doubt this...

Quickclot hasn't had any products that produce an exothermic reaction out in quite some time. The older granule type product was notorious for getting hot. The new sponges and impregnated gauzes don't cause any tissue damage or get hot at all. I understand where you're coming from. I thought we were discussing vehicle med bags and their use in first responder type situations. Obviously situation dictates tactics and being in an austere environment far from proper care, keeping things clean can help. An accident on the side of the road is less likely to have those requirements though. I've seen wounds come in packed with dirt and rocks as that was all that was available at hand to get pressure to the depth needed to obtain hemostasis. Mike

We aren't talking about someone with a cut on their hand. It's less refusing to be sterile and more a time issue. The more time you wait while you scrub up the more blood that person loses. They only have a finite supply so every second you waste is costing them blood they can not afford to lose. Me personally, I'm gloving up to protect myself, not the patient. They can fix infection at the hospital relatively easy. Keep the blood in the hurt guy, keep them from going into hypovolemic shock, keep them from exsanguinating. Time is the game, quick the word. Mike

Not trying to belittle you, but keep the spices in the kitchen. Direct pressure will do much more good than a teaspoon of pepper. Mike

A major bleed out isn't the time to worry about infection. Stop them from dying. Worry about infection once they're stabilized and still alive.

One more reason for a trust. No fingerprints, no photos, No having to explain why you want to buy something that is legal to own to anyone.

A friend of mine sold me his parts kit. Rguns still has parts kits and barrels. Nodak has the recieivers. http://www.rguns.net/gunparts/rifle-parts-AK.shtml

I carry a vehicle med bag everyday.

you should check out Streamlight's PT series. I've been carrying the PT2A for a few years now and it's been great. I'd carry the CR123 version if I didn't get AA batteries from work for free.

Hell yes!

Nice AAR. Glad you are out there training, regardless who it's with. I've taken a good majority of the classes Tactical Response offers and I have yet to be disappointed.

It's not quite that simple...

My friend Sherman House, myself and many others are working on getting this going in honor of Paul. Support has been overwhelming. Updates will be posted as more details are solidified. Mike

Please don't do this. This is the proper repair method for a canted sight. http://youtu.be/O9X9VQgaUVg

Apex DCAEK. Drop in parts and they work great.
