Is the flag being reflected in the door window? That’s a great pic!

Thanks, guys. There are several of us in this thread. As the old saying goes: "some gave all, all gave some"
I gave them almost (5) years.

This is a cherished photo that my father took of mom and I in early 1972.

You certainly favor your Mother. She couldn't deny you!

Had to watch the game a bit delayed via recording as I had errands to run today, but...


Roll Tide

Now heading for a quick range trip.

I don't "hate" them, just not a fanboi. This is my first and only holosun and it works fine. Will I buy another? Possibly but i highly doubt it. The thing that drives me batsh!t crazy is seeing them on a high end firearm. Its like putting hubcaps on a Ferrari or a Burris sweet 22 on a Vudoo. If you have the $ for the high end firearm, why cheapout on the sight? Save your pennies a little longer and get one that compliments the firearm. I guess Im to much of a picky F'er for my own good in some eyes but I'm ok with that. To each their own. They're just not my first, second, or third choice..

I feel the same way.
I don’t have any holosuns and have no plans to but have many friends who have them and they get along.
I see it in rifle scopes. Some are out there that are absolutely a very good value for the money but still not all that great to my eye. I’ve wondered before if I’m too picky, and then decide, no.

Definitely appreciating all the Veterans today.
Thank you.

Mill action today. Installed a chip guard found on Amazon for $22. Smells like rubber.

Got a pair of 3/8-40 taps in the mail. Made in USA. Modified one to cut 40 LPI serrations in the mill. Got lucky and it fit right into my 3/8 collet. Have to say, even under 3x magnification, I'm pretty impressed. Looks like around .015 - .020" depth of cut gives a nice look.





Ignore the side without the hole. I screwed up and the workpiece slipped while cutting. I didn't have it installed on a parallel and it twisted.

Echelon function check completed.

Grabbing some food to take home and will be watching the UGA game soon.

I think you were all a little zany on the breakfast. I didn't notice anyone asking for the bacon on their order. Were you going to keep it all for yourself?

A bit too much quality control on my part ... that's why we only had bacon grease to cook the eggs in.

I also want to say thank you very much to all of the Veterans in this thread, and the others on this forum, for your service.

Thanks, now give me twenty

Dear millennial, he didn’t want money.

Dear millennial, he didn’t want money.

I usta could do 20 push ups. Not so much anymore. Money is easier to give at this point.

One of the funniest things I remember is me and a partner were standing around and this private came up and said something dumb in their usual private fashion so my partner told him to beat your face, he looked perplexed for a moment and in my head i'm thinking 'don't do it' but he did, he proceeded to start hitting himself in the face.

(edit: for non-military-beat your face is supposed to mean just do push up.)

Basic training was good times. Fond memories.

A big thanks to all the veterans.

One of you should celebrate and get the Ed Brown 1911 in the classifieds.

Come on, TJ and WT, open the door. I’m ready for breakfast.

No problem, WT will stop at Rise n Roll and get some donuts.

This seems like a neat solution to a flat surface, but how does it work on a rounded surface, like say the front strap of a pistol grip?

Morning all...

No problem, WT will stop at Rise n Roll and get some donuts.

As I learned to my detriment, RnR is closed on Sundays
