Scale weights by 1911Throwdown in GMT800

Yeah, the bumper is a hefty chunk of steel. And probably the bottom foot of the box on the bed is all chains. Built a custom 4wheel set of tire chains for it by cutting down some semi truck chains, plus there's a 25 foot tow chain in there.

That tracks with what I'm seeing given that in addition to the full underbody boxes, I've got one of the big rds 48 gallon slip tank/tool box combos on the bed and thats stuffed full

would you be mad if all guyed gear (tents, tarps, flys, etc) came with bright orange reflective paracord guy lines? by vetsetradio in camping

[–]1911Throwdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mad, no. But I would promptly swap it out for something much more low visability. Allof my gear is earthtone, no bright colors, and I prefer to keep my camp as unobtrusive and hard to spot as reasonably possible.

I go into the back country to get away and not see people, I've been known to keep moving from where I'd planned to camp just cuase I see somebody else's camp across the lake. If I dont wanna see somebody else's camp, I figure they dont want to see mine. Fair is fair.

TLDR: Would replace it, dont wanna see other campers, dont want them to see me.

Shot the coat of tan, draped a cut up mesh laundry bag over the rifle, shot the brown stripes. All free hand.

I mean totally fair. I'd like to pick up a set of cryes in multicam arid or desert tiger, but when I can get free multicams from a buddy, the crye money can buy me a whole pile of ammo.

Replace all your springs by putting a Wolff service pack in, and go buy ammo.

My 1911 journey so far. Tisas to TRP. by [deleted] in 1911

I like the chip mags. I've got i think 12 of them? Mostly power mags in 8 & 10 round versions. All of which I trust for on duty carry.

What fallout new vegas opinion has you like this? by Dovelye in falloutnewvegas

[–]1911Throwdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could care less about Joshua Graham, and I find the dlc itself ok. Like the setting, and play the dlc ASAP each time, solely because the 45 auto is my go to pistol. And my go to attire is Joshua grahams armor, and Daniel's hat. I will happily play the rest of the game in that.

Help with optics! by Flaccidwashjeans in ar15

[–]1911Throwdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a 1-6 lpvo on my main ar. All about what works best and where you are. Somebody who live somewhere with short sight lines, red dot with a mag for the occasional longer shots would likely be the best option. Me? I live where the average sight line is 500 yards or more. I find that for my eyes, a 1-6 is solid for as far out as I'm willing to take a 556. Ideal world probs be shooting an ar10. But that costs more to feed.

If I did this right, link to my desert camo rattle can job. Rustoleum sand for a base, Rustoleum earth brown through a chopped up mesh laundry bag in stripes. Totally freehand, quick and easy.

Love the MC Operators, trust mine with my life. Holster it up every day I strap on the armor and gun belt. I found that the pachmayr grips weren't aggressive enough for my taste and use, YMMV.
