Thinking about driving up Saturday. Will there be tickets available or will the supers be sold out?
Every school in the conference, vandy included will take transfers. It’s easy as frick to get in that way. I checked in to transferring to Vandy and Florida to finish my engineering degree and was told it was a sure thing as long as all sophomore classes were complete including Thermo and engineering Econ. Finished up at the Colorado School of Mines though.

I bought 6 just in case they stop selling them again lol
For anyone with a GWOT or FDE build, KAC has the Taupe rail covers finally back in stock after a few years gone but they won’t last long.

A guy from Metarie at a gun show recently in Pensacola had a Sons of Liberty MK1 SBR he wanted to trade for my M14 National Match Quantico Team rifle. I didn't do and instantly regretted it. I called the guy today to see if he still had it and I'm driving over today. He will have to ship it to my FFL but I'm good with that. Glad he still had it. It's the hard coat anodized devgru version so it's already hard to find to begin with.

There's nothing wrong with dots and back up irons if it's a duty grade optic.

I have a few; FN M4A1, Daniel Defense MK18 and an FNX 45 tactical for when democracy gets real




A grand off this M4A1. Killer deal for a killer rifle

The data center itself is being built in Montgomery, only the solar farm to add the electricity back to the grid is being built in Stockton, which is north Baldwin county. Alabama isn’t a solar friendly state though so I’m not sure how good of an investment this will be unless that part changes significantly

Form 1 for an SBR took one day and form 4 for a suppressor took 12 days. Did everything through a local shop with no trust.

Zeiss V4 3-12x56 is the best in class in that price range in my opinion.

Still waiting on a Tangodown stubby vertical and pistol grip that will be here tomorrow but she’s mostly finished.

Yes but the mount is included in these. The ones pictured in yours shows no mount. Here’s a pic of mine.
