Between what I do at work and crimes committed against me and my family, no defense attorney will ever allow me to serve on a criminal case. That is quite a shame, because I would be the fairest, most by-the-rules guy there.

August 9 at Tennessee Sports Foundation in Jackson Proceeds go to supporting children affected by Veteran suicide Anybody know much about this match? Format? Distances? Any idea how to register?

As a competitive shooter who has spent a lot of time around dots, I've seen that batteries can and will die, usually at the lousiest times. But of more concern to me is taking a dot off and putting it back on. They use some itty bitty screws that sometimes don't like being taken out and put back in and taken out and put back in and taken out and put back in.

Come shoot USPSA. There are two matches a month but one is on Sunday.

Ha, I recognized a couple faces there. I haven't shot TWRA this year but I had rotator cuff surgery in March. I hope to make my great comeback at the IDPA match at MSSA this Saturday.

My sister was an ER nurse for a while. One night, they had to deal with ping pong balls in an unusual place. She said, “Apparently, there are some things that…I just don’t know about.”

yes

Yep, back when I was maybe 18 and weighed about 155, my dad’s friend bet me I wouldn’t shoot my pistol grip Mossberg 500 one-handed with a 3” slug. He lost and I shot four more cuz I could. Probably why my rotator cuff grenaded last December lol.

This. After two shoulder surgeries, hard kicking guns no longer interest me. I probably won't even shoot my trusty Winchester Model 70 .30-06 ever again.

Thank ya sir! Now is as good a time to get a suppressor as there ever was, IF you are ok with paying the $200 tax stamp. I got a tax stamp back today for a can that was submitted yesterday afternoon. If you want to wait until January (when the $200 tax goes away), I suspect the ATF will get hammered with applications and it will be slower. Hopefully not the 6-12 months slow like it was up until a year or two ago.

I just don't get why removable FCUs are so revolutionary. I can take my FCU and put it in a smaller grip frame. Or a blue grip frame. So what. They seem kinda gimmicky. I don't see a scenario where I will pull parts from one frame and switch it to another based on some new need. If I want a smaller or bigger gun, I will buy a smaller or bigger gun.

Thank you kindly. I've always wanted something a bit different, and this scratched that itch somewhat.

Plain ol’ black ARs bore me, so I decided to try my hand at painting one when I built my shorty 5.56. I’m not set up for Cerakoting, but have researched and read that Brownell’s Aluma-hyde II is pretty close durability-wise and decided to give it a shot. Aluma-hyde II is supposedly a lot tougher than run-of-the-mill rattle can. After much trial and error (Aluma-hyde II can be finicky), I painted an upper, lower, and handguard with two coats of OD green and three coats of matte clear. The clear gave it sort of a satin eggshell finish that I found appealing. I fashioned a hillbilly dutch oven for redneck curing with a large cardboard box lined with aluminum foil (when my wife wasn't looking), and a hair dryer poking through a hole in the bottom. It was good for about 160F and I think worked well. If I were going to Badlandistan to chase hajiis, I would probably skip the clear. The build: Aero M4E1 upper and lower Aero R-One 10.3”” handguard Wilson Combat 11.3” 1/7 barrel Wilson BCG Superlative Arms adjustable gas block Triggertech 3.5 Competitive trigger JP Silent Captured buffer SB Tactical SBA5 brace and a B5 Systems grip (played 50 shades of FDE trying to get a near match with these two) Leupold Mark 4 1-4.5 LPVO Hope to shoot it soon.

For so much AR glut, they sure are out of stock on a bunch of stuff. At least they admit it now.

If Aero is hurting for business, it has nothing to do with a lack of panic buying.

Yup, I’ll be dang. Awesome rig for a southpaw.

Thanks! IMO, unless you need something that collapses to an overall shorter package, the SBA5 is the best brace out there. I have an SBA3 on another gun and I may just throw it in the trash.

Check out Tennessee Sports Foundation right outside Jackson. It's a private range, but the fees are very reasonable. https://www.tnsportsfoundation.org

Ha ha ha around here it's the old guys who talk about Mobil 1 and the know-it-alls who claim it's Fudd lore. I've used it (5w-30 I think) on pistols and had good luck. Remoil has always seemed kinda thin, so I use what Remoil I have as a surface treatment to prevent rust. I clean with Hoppes 9 (old school but it is good stuff) and lube with (lately) Lucas something-or-nother gun oil.

Finally finished my Blackout. Four 190 Sub-X rounds were touching at 50 yards with the fifth one 3/4” away. Such is the subsonic ammo life from my experience. Hope to shoot some supers soon. The build: Aero M4E1 upper and lower Aero R-One handguard Wilson Combat 8” barrel Triggertech Competitive 3.5 trigger SBA5 brace JP Silent Captured buffer Holosun AEMS Pro X2 red dot (for now) The can is a Silencerco Omega that I already had.

Is that a left handed gun or the picture is flipped?

Don’t worry about holding anybody back. Be safe and accurate and the rest will come. The tactical-bro types will tell you competitive shooting will teach you bad tactics and will just get you killed. Ignore them - half those guys went to a match to teach everybody how it’s done and got their asses handed to them, primarily because they’re just not nearly as good as they thought. USPSA, IDPA, etc are not defensive training, but they will quickly make you immensely more competent with a gun. I think Massad Ayoob said shooting matches are not gunfights, but gunfights are shooting matches.

Yes most people set it up to close in the back. I use this belt keeper https://arredondoaccessories.com/belt-keeper/ instead of the cheesy one that usually comes with belts. I know Keith Tyler and he is good people. If you are serious about USPSA, he will save you a ton of time and heartache by teaching the right way to do it.

I don’t know, but the guy had to pay $25k/month in child support for two kids he’s never seen.
