Finished rattle canning my MK18. Turned out pretty sweet

Nah, we own a lot near navy cove. Fishing on that side generally sucks and will get you mostly croaker and hard heads with an occasional flounder in there.

As a Colorado School of Mines grad, I wholeheartedly concur; frick no.

I rattle canned my DD MK18 upper and DD lower today in Rapco 30118 Field Drab. It’s an almost spot on match for KAC taupe. Turned out pretty sweet
Point of impact can shift. I have several Surefire RC2’s, KAC NT4s and a Rhodie 6. The Rhodie is all around excellent but I have noticed impact shifts with it. Silencers the military use like the Surefire and KAC have much less of it, the RC2 has none really

Just bought a Noveske N4



Texas Tamper pulled it off. Whose more annoying, them or Indiana?
I went to the Colorado School of Mines; it’s as redneck as Bama lol
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.
