  1. I don't know any Soviet-born guy who doesn't think that this movie is retarded. It's like a masturbatory fantasy of some teenager who actually REALLY wanted to play hero during a real Soviet Invasion... like those guys preparing (and actually hoping) for the "Zombie Apocalypse" now. Of course, the way that the Soviets were portrayed... the props, the uniforms, the behavior - all ridiculous, which is typical Hollywood. I was responding to this. He specifically states he didnt like the way russians were portrayed. It was a different time. But one thing never changes. Hollywood
  2. For a few hundred more you can get one that looks a little nicer and possibly is a little nicer. But for that same few hundred dollars you can get a holster, extra mags, and a bunch of ammo. It really depends on your priorities.
  3. I don't have one but I would not hesitate to buy a Rock. I have been a 1911 guy for 30 years. 40 years if you count wanting one as a child. The worry about the frame being cast is not based on actual failures. Just on the theory that if might fail. A theory which evidence doesn't support. I have read many reviews on many forums and these are good quality pistols. Especially the more recent ones. RIA has a lifetime warranty. And they back it up.
  4. It is not unsafe to fire a sabot slug through a choke. The projectile is significantly smaller than the tightest choke. And the sabot is easily deformed to squeeze through the choke. This is obvious if you think about it. If you sell a slug that is dangerous with any choke you will be in a class action lawsuit in 30 minutes or less. Which doesn't mean that it's a good idea. Sabot slugs will always tumble out of a smoothbore (with the exception of fin-stabilized slugs).
  5. The avatar is changed too. The system takes a bit to catch up.
  6. I'm so sure that Russian movies from the early 80s showed Americans in the best light. Right? Anybody with a brain understood it was pure jingoistic fantasy. It was the time of the cold war. We used to sit and memorize flashcards of Soviet equipment. We had a poster in our battalion hq showing a Soviet soldier that said "This is Your Enemy". We were all convinced we'd be fighting the Russians sooner or later. None of us ever dreamed the next war would be in the middle east. The remake will be just as much of a fantasy. Hopefully it will be entertaining.
  7. He must be shipping to all the non-members first...
  8. "How'd you get shot down Colonel?" "It was 5 to 1." Scowl. "I got FOUR." Considering when it was made they were pretty damn good. Do keep in mind they were supposed to be Hind As, not Hind Ds... .
  9. Listing said NIB. Sure is a pretty box... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=278267081
  10. I have to be different. My favorite AK grip is the Galil.
  11. I found 1 bicentennial model that recently sold on gunbroker for $576.
  12. They're fairly common. Unless this is a limited edition of some sort. I see them selling for as low as $300 in good condition.
  13. Stationed at nas pensacola. Trader johns was a local naval aviator haunt. Oddly enough, right across the street was the chat n chew and red garter. Both establishments for the daintier of men. We had a transient marine corp squadron of harrier jocks sitting at the bar eyeballing the joints across the street. A group of guys in hard hats and t shirts(straight out of the village people) were walking down the sidewalk. A few of the pilots decided it was open season on some "tinkerbells". Long stort short, they got the shit beat out of them. The most amazing part of the whole ordeal was just ho

  15. If you watch tbe videos you'll see the can gets an exit hole wben you fire the first round. I am puzzled by the fact that this thread is about solvent traps but the vids are about econo cans...
  16. OK the 9-1-1 tape has been released. Listen to it if you still doubt that piece of shit did it. You will hear it exactly as it happened. But don't let your kids listen. It's graphic. And to save yourself some embarrassment here are a few other points of clarification: We really did land on the moon. Bush did not blow up the world trade center. Elvis really is dead.
  17. I take your point that other country's sf troops are impressive, although I disagree that ours are not impressive. You convey a degree of ignorance if you believe that only their training and equipment is impressive. Honestly that statement surprises me. I thought more of you. As to why people don't impersonate spetsnaz, you have to understand those who try to steal honor are usually clueless about the special forces of other countries. And it’s easier to impersonate a SEAL. It’s hard to pull off a convincing Russian accent. But you do have to wonder why SEALS and not Delta.
  18. Very true! No such thing as a "regular Marine" Semper Fi USN 83-89 I forgot ALL Marines think think they are SPECOPS because they get off the bout lol.........only joking guys Not ALL flybys are at 20,000ft above the action.....some are below 500ft while door gunners are protecting the aircraft while the pilots fly nap of earth. Some fly nap of earth. Some just take a nap.
  19. The conversation was about firearms (one of my favorite topics) and this guy was showing his ignorance. He didn't know what caliber an M16 is. Somebody mentioned to him that I was a Marine. Without hesitation he piped up that he was a SEAL. I cut the conversation short. He's a customer of ours and it's best for our company if I just let it go. Nobody's going to believe his crap anyway.
  20. I ran into another one of “those guys” yesterday. The guys who claim they were Navy SEALS. I guess with the SEALs being in the news, and the Act of Valor movie there is a fresh crop. And in case there is any confusion by the title, no I’m not claiming I was a SEAL. I was a regular old Jarhead.

    F*** this s***

    Id like to solve the puzzle Pat. Its "Fuck this Shit".
  22. Or perhaps (considering how far and low other threads have drifted) it's a sad statement about us...
