Obama has them too, they deliver packages of Hellfire missiles and Hydra rockets, sometimes directly to US citizens...

  IIRC, one of the key ingredients in making anti-venom is horse blood but I can't recall from where I heard that, xjsnake could probably give a better answer than I could. Dealing with hot snakes is not something ANYONE should do without proper training, I used to catch rattlers at my buddies when I was younger and MUCH dumber, looking back on it I could kick myself for what I did as it was VERY irresponsible.

I use Slip2000 on mine and the Filthy 14 from EAG Tactical is what sold me on the stuff.     FILTHY 14 As of this writing, EAG students have 31,165 rounds downrange through Filthy 14. During this evaluation period, it was cleaned once (as in one time), at 26,245 rounds. The end result is that Rack #14 was—and remains—filthy. It is filthy because it has been shot at class. Only at class. Every round that has gone down that barrel has been fired at class, with an average of approximately 1,300 rounds every three days. It has been lubed generously with Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Lube (EWL). The combination of carbon and lube create (wait for it)…filth. It is so dirty that, while sitting in the rifle rack, it is almost a biohazard. The filth oozes out and contaminates other carbines adjacent to it. But it is still shooting—and shooting well. Rack #14 is a 16-inch Bravo Company Mid Length Carbine—mid length meaning that the gas system is two inches longer than the standard carbine gas system. This permits the use of a nine-inch rail with the standard front sight base. Use of a clamp on the front sight will permit a longer rail to be used. The longer rail is necessary to accommodate some shooting styles, as well as to provide additional rail estate for the various white lights and IR lasers required to kill bad guys at night. Subjectively, the mid length system has a softer recoil impulse. The lower receiver is a Bravo Company USA M4A1, one of very few in circulation. It has a TangoDown BG-16 Pistol Grip. An LMT Sloping Cheekweld Stock (aka the Crane Stock) rides on the milspec receiver extension, as does a TangoDown PR-4 Sling Mount. The upper is a BCM item, with a milspec 16.1”, 1:7 twist barrel. The barrel steel is chrome moly vanadium (CMV) and certified under milspec Mil-B-11595E. The BCM bolt is machined from milspec Carpenter 158® gun quality steel, heat-treated per milspec, and then shot peened per Mil-S-13165. Once completed, each bolt is fired with a high-pressure test (HPT) cartridge and then magnetic particle inspected (MPI) in accordance with ASTM E1444. The handguard is a LaRue 15-9, the nine-inch model to allow full use of the available rail estate. We have a TangoDown BGV-MK46K Stubby Vertical Foregrip. We use TangoDown BP-4 Rail Panels. The primary sight is an Aimpoint T1 in a LaRue 660 Mount. The T1 is still on the same set of batteries, and it has never been shut off. The back-up sight is the Magpul MBUS and the sling is the Viking Tactics VTAC. This is a normal configuration for our guns, although stocks (Magpul CTR, Vltor I-Mod), BUIS (Troy), and day optic (Aimpoint M4s) may be substituted. IN SERVICE We received the carbine in late 2008 and put #14 into service shortly thereafter. At Brady, Texas, in March 2009, it suffered a malfunction, which was reduced with Immediate Action. The bolt was wiped down at 6,450 rounds. At Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in May 2009, it had several failures to extract, and the extractor spring was replaced at 13,010 rounds. This is far beyond the normal extractor spring life under these conditions. At Wamego, Kansas, in June 2009, two bolt lugs broke at 16,400 rounds. We replaced the BCG. Considering the firing schedule, this is within normal parameters. At Columbus, Ohio, in November 2009, we had several failures to extract at 24,450 rounds. The shooter gave it a field cleaning and replaced the extractor and extractor spring. At 28,905 rounds, we finally cleaned Filthy 14. As part of our year-end maintenance schedule, we inspect and replace parts as necessary. Filthy 14 looked like the inside of the crankcase of Uncle Ed’s ’49 Packard. It was disgusting to look at and contaminated everything near it, somewhat like the toner cartridges for old printers. I plopped it into a parts washer filled with Slip 725 parts cleaner, and 20 minutes later it was clean. Mostly clean, anyway. We have never used a bore brush in the barrel of this gun. We did run a patch down the barrel twice, but that was all. At 50 yards it still shoots two-inch groups, and we understand that it might not at 100 yards and beyond, but we are happy with the fact that, even at 50 yards, the gun is capable of tighter groups than most of the people running it. We have never used a chamber brush in this gun either. We were often told that this was an absolute must. Sure… At the last class in Casa Grande, Arizona, at approximately 30,000 rounds, we had several failures to extract. We replaced the extractor spring and wiped down the BCG. By the time you read this, we’ll likely have another 3,000 to 4,000 rounds through Filthy 14. At that point we’ll probably retire it. We’ll reuse the LaRue rail, the sights and, after rebuilding the lower, replace that old and well-worn mid length upper with something else. Fourteen will continue, but just not as Filthy 14.   http://www.slip2000.com/blog/s-w-a-t-magazine-filthy-14/

Yeah that one got a lil squirrely on him...

I think that's cost through one of our distributors, darn good deal.

That's be like a .338 Lapua Mag for that lil dude.

I'd have had my owl relay the message.

No, not the extraction you're thinking of, lol. Just for making antivenoms and such, lol.

This guy has cojones of steel I must say as I've watched a few of his vids but thought this would be an informative video to those of whom are like minded as myself.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FamCDnTO5c&feature=share&list=UUUtdmXEDHdSHPZP37n_Bymw

Or even a Polytech M14, can't go wrong there and they have chrome lined barrels, heh heh. ;)

Well... I say not much more money but the other option I had in mind was a pistol cal AR, those can be had BUT not for the HP's awesome price point and yes the Kel Tec was another option I was thinking of, also the RONI Pistol conversions can be had but that price point is more on par with the AR. Point taken OS, price point the HP takes the cake.

I've played with them, enough. They're not as heavy as their pistol counterpart BUT that being said they're still a single stack magazine carbine, kinda defeats the purpose in my own philosiphy of use of a carbine but then I can't speak for everyone. I'm not saying they're not a combat worthy weapon, it's just my own opinion and for not much more money, one can have many more options that are superior in not only design but functionality. Again, just my own  :2cents: , nothing more, nothing less. 

I use hi-points for one thing and it's not shooting...

Yeah, at that price I wouldn't pass it up. I got offered a used Kimber for that price, course, that was about 7 years ago if that says anything...

Still an outstanding deal, especially considering you're into it what dealer cost is currently for a Century AK, you's a did good.

We don't in ours but then, our shop used to be a feed store and the main entrances have massive storm shudder doors(pretty much industrial garage doors) that weigh a couple hundred pounds each which they'd have to break the front glass and trigger the alarm to get through first, lol. As it was said above, we'd have to add on to the store just to make room for that kind of storage and it'd take about twenty to thirty minutes additionally just to lock up the inventory as we have about 200 firearms on hand.

I'm in a similar boat. How do you measure broadside of barn in MOA?

Also, EAA Witness 10mm, booyah! ;)

A buddy of mine used to carry when he went to TTU here, his words, "If you think some ***hole with a vendetta against the campus whore, who slept with his best 'buddy', is gonna get me, you've got another thing coming.". While I don't promote nor endorse the breaking of laws, I wasn't gonna exactly report him either as I somewhat, in a weird way, respected that decision he came to of silently telling big brother to "go #@$% yourself".

The night of December 31st I usually end up breaking my new years resolution from last year of "never getting that drunk again".........

I had a Springfield Omega 10mm and LOVED it, looking back I shouldn't have gotten rid of it but tis life.

Is it bad that I'd be the one egging it on?  :stir:

I would if they...

I thought the same thing, it's an interesting flick to say the least and a bit more realistic, well, as realistic as you can get I suppose. The video game "Homefront" used an interesting concept of China and NK joining forces and pretty much steam rolling all of South East Asia into one new Massive alliance, interesting concept but poor delivery.

I pray that everything comes through for you cousin, best wishes and regards.
