Well I have only built four guns with rifle length gas tubes. I’ll order the gas tube and a few spare parts.
3 is better, a key to Gunny’s house would be best.1 is none, 2 is 1, 3 is better.
No worries. If you're decadent, then I'm positively a mister fancy pants. Grand Marnier on the rocks has become one of my favorite drinks ever since I was in Paris last year. Note, I drink it with an extended pinky.Don't forget to get oil absorbent matts for the inside of the tool box drawers. If you can find some, oil-resistant foam which can be cut to fit specific tools can also be a winner.
Hmmm, jello. Orange with triple Sec and a splash of Gran Marnier. But, I may be decadent.
Dude's got too much stuff. Wouldn't know what to take, or use if the zombies are behind me. Sometimes choice isn't a good thing.3 is better, a key to Gunny’s house would be best.
The folding bayonets on the M44 carbines are perfect for dispatching walkers quietly without attracting more.^^^^^^That's easy head for the Mosin closet and you are set for removing zombies. If you can't blow em apart the muzzle blast of the surplus ammo will toast them krispy.
I could never sing, much less hold a tune in a bucket.Gunny - keep track of your recovery and how your voice sounds. My mother had the same thing done several years ago and they damaged her vocal chords and she can no longer sing and hold the tune.
FYI
Gunny if you need some of these absorbent pads for your tool chest shoot me a PM with your info. I have some oil only and universal ones and some adhesive backed ones that you can cut to size and put were needed. The adhesive ones make for a great gun mat as well.Don't forget to get oil absorbent matts for the inside of the tool box drawers.

Thank you for the offer, but the tool chest came with pads for the draws. Most of the tools that will be going in will be gun and stock related.Gunny if you need some of these absorbent pads for your tool chest shoot me a PM with your info.

This thread has provided a lot of entertainment, be happy to send some out for you
Yeah Gunny, quit giving away guns and buying 1890's and get back to doing your chores.umm, any cleaning yet? hate to see this thread get covered with dust bunnies
He’s camera shy.Gunny you didn’t post a pic of Austin in it. Is he like me and camera shy?
Nice T-72 frying pan! Any idea what took it out?Well I was going to get into the attic, but Austin asked me about a bush hat. We went out to the shed and I opened the old cedar chest that sits in there in the dark. I had to move a few things to get it open. Austin is 20 years old and has never seen the cedar chest opened. I pulled the desert cammo bush hat from the chest and gave it to him. I told him that it was his now and to take care of it.
Here it is after he washed it.

Washing a boonie? In anything other than PT sweat or salt water surf?Here it is after he washed it.
Rod penetrators do that.Would be interesting to know what did that
Agree, probably a Sabot round from an Abrams. They wouldn't typically use a HEAT round against an MBT (unless they were out of Sabot), but you would think either a HEAT, TOW, or Hellfire would produce more burning and debris.Rod penetrators do that.
You put a 77mm diameter rod into a 120mm "shoe" and fling it out the muzzle right near 4000fps (right at 4/5 mile per second). When it hits, the rod actually collapses into a plasma, but with the same mass and deltaV (the physics gets weird quick at these values, which is also why the 15:1 to 17:1 penetrator rod proportion is important). Struck armor then deforms and can pop a turret out of its race (they typically ride on the race bearings strictly by gravity).
Well after 25 plus years in a cedar chest with spiders, it didn’t smell to good. The last time I had it on my head was May of 1991.Washing a boonie? In anything other than PT sweat or salt water surf?
The FMF types I knew (and taxi-ed about) all just waited for rain []
The T-72 was just one of the tanks that attempted a counter attack on our possession on the second day of the ground war (Desert Saber). This was just north of Al Jaber Air Base in Kuwait. That night the smoke from the oil fires was so thick that you couldn’t see even with NVGs. The tank unit, The Tiger Brigade, that was supporting us, stopped the counter attack. They had M1 Abrams tanks. I talked to a tank crew member who said they engaged at 5 or 6 hundred meters with sabot rounds using thermal sights. He said they couldn’t see the enemy tanks until artillery started falling on them. The Marine artillery reserve unit from Broken Arrow OK. was the artillary unit firing in support.Agree, probably a Sabot round from an Abrams. They wouldn't typically use a HEAT round against an MBT (unless they were out of Sabot), but you would think either a HEAT, TOW, or Hellfire would produce more burning and debris.
The other thing I was thinking was self-destructed. A hand grenade in the magazine might only set off one or two rounds, just enough to pop the turret.
Just conjecture. Was curious if Gunny remembered the details of that particular wreck.
