    GREAT FIND !! These shirts are a status symbol. They tag you as the "best of the best".
    Owning one of these will allow you to be a "secret mod". (Even the "super mods" can't get these) It will also give you access to all the "for sale" adds Before the rest of the forum can see them.
    At gunshows it will ID you as someone that can be trusted,are well liked,and you will receive an automatic discount of 10% at any table in the show.
    You will no longer have to fill out a 4473 fo buy a firearm or pay the $200 for any surpressor.
    Now James . . . YOUR ONE OF US !!
    GREAT FIND !! --- SAWMAN

    I just found out if you wear it to a Ted Nugent concert they take you right to the VIP area!

    Several months ago I bought a Ruger American 17HMR in a short threaded bull barrel... I bought it to put a can on it and it's been sitting up ever since...Well when I did up the ole lady's rifle and Midway had their Vortex sale so I went ahead and bought a Vortex Viper 6.5x20x44 and a Caldwell bipod fer it...I got it in, put it on (no boresight again) and sighted it in yesterday...I tell ya, these are damn easy or I'm damn good (easy more like it)...2 shots and it was sighted in... I was playing around with it yesterday after sighting it in and I have a silhouette I melted a hole through it with a 35 Whelen so I aimed at that hole (only 50 yards) and sent it...I didn't see it hit and the plate moved just a tad...Looked and it barely caught the plate and went right through the hole!!! This is gonna be my eyeball shooting gun!!! Once I get a can fer it, it'll be bad ass!!!

    I took three people shooting. Two of these people had never even handled a single firearm in their lives! It was a father and two sons. The two sons were 18 and 15 respectively and both had never held a gun. Their father has become a good friend of mine and he trusted me to teach his two sons how to safely operate all kinds of firearms today. We went from single shot .22 to .22 semi auto handguns, then to 9mm. Then to everything from AR's chambered in .223 and .308 and shotguns and bolt action rifles in many different calibers. The father couldn't believe how many there were to choose from. Haha!

    He told me he wanted to get to know more guns and introduce his two kids to some! Well, I brought just about everything short of a .50 caliber.

    Almost finished with my .224 valkyrie build. Just need rifle buffer,spring and a good scope. Put the strike industries comp on it and a2 stock :) . Need to order smaller mag, it's a 6.8 30rd ASC will trade for a lancer 20 in 6.8. On a cool side note the .224 bolt face works on the 6.8 so a barrel swap and I'm in 6.8 as well as the mags.

    If its accurate at longer range 300+ I'll get the dies and play more with it. On paper its impressive. Supposed to be super sonic to 1300 yards. But drop at 1000 is like 300 inches I think, lol. Read up on it.

    James, a great varmint gun would be a AR chambered in 22-250Rem . . 24" bbl . . 1:8.5 or 9 twist.
    Another would be a AR10 chambered in 243Win . . 22 or 24" bbl . . 1:9 twist . . shooting the 55 and 58gr bullets.
    You could get 4000fps out of either. A mild load would get you 3850. --- SAWMAN

    Shot my 10.5" 6.8SPC AR pistol this AM at my club. (You know . . . the one that is STILL open.)
    (Total of 6 people there. I had the entire 100yd range to myself.)
    ANYWAY . . . Tried some Hornady 110gr V-MAX and 115gr Fed Fusion. The V-MAX shot a tiny bit better but I would rather use the 115gr Fusion. Plus . . I have a bunch of them. --- SAWMAN
