    MARINES OPINIONS WANTED

    The m27 IAR is the rifle the Marine Corps initially used to replace the m249 SAW squad automatic weapon used as the base of fire in a rifle team. It has a gas piston system and a free floated barrel. They are talking about and as I understand, intend to implement it as a designated marksman...

    MARINES OPINIONS WANTED

    Much the same with doing away with tanks, I detest the idea of closing Parris Island and San Diego, but can understand why they want to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MARINES OPINIONS WANTED

    I got issued a brand new M16A4 in the summer of 2010 at MCRD San Diego. I was in Bravo Co. Platoon 1021, won all the events besides rifle range and the final test or whatever they called it. I think half our platoon was 03’s, maybe a slight majority. Now the fleet is getting rid of m16s and even...

    Question for you Marine Corps Folks

    I have never seen any of those movies after the original one and have no interest in doing so. He has a screen shot that if I can figure out how to post via Tapatalk I will do so. He has what appears to be navy seaman (or whatever they call E-2) on his collar under his service alpha coat. Don’t...

    Question for you Marine Corps Folks

    That movie is garbage [emoji23].... one of my former recruiters watched it and was pointing out all the discrepancies. The main character apparently goes from being a Lance Corporal (E-3) to a Gunny (E-7) in one scene and if I recall, he said no time had passed at all in the story ETA: the...

    REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

    I didn’t get a chance to visit the Arizona memorial, as badly as I wanted to on my first deployment, but the ship I was on (11th Meu), was parked across the Harbor from the Missouri on our way across the Pacific in November of 2011, and on our way back to San Diego, we were parked at the pier...

    What guns are you looking for in 2020?

    A new 4” 610 New or old blued 4” 29 2.75” 69 I’ve got my eye on a Glock 40 and 41, and I’d still like to pick up a Glock 20 as well. I’m in need of a Garand to shoot some of the surplus ammo in bandoliers with clips I picked up from SGAmmo this year I’d love to pick up an m14 (I hate using...

    Is the 40 S&W a must have cartridge?

    No, and the only reason I bought any now is because I picked up an ex-CHP 4006 TSW Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trucks

    Whenever the time comes around for buying a truck, whatever you do, don’t buy anything newer then 2010 unless you want to deal with emissions headaches. I’d personally look for something made between 1990 and 2003. Avoid newer Acert CAT engines. Series 60 Detroits are cheap and easy to work on...

    ANY PARATROOPERS?

    Fast roping out of a Ch-46 or an Osprey was more then enough to satisfy my “desire” to rapidly exit an aircraft. It was easy with the 46’s, but with an osprey, the rotor wash is so strong the first three guys have to secure the rope on the ground so everyone else can exit straight down. Sent...

    Are Kia and Hyundai built on par with Toyota or Honda?

    I don’t have any personal experience with them, but most of the car magazines have been pretty impressed with the Korean cars of the last 10 years or so. They’re a far cry from the cars of 2000 for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
