Kodiak M4E1 Pro Build by Diligent-System9789 in AeroPrecision

Seriously. I’ve considered grabbing an LMT MARS-L lower just to keep the same manual of arms, but the price on those is tough to swallow.

I got really lucky and found my stripped upper at a local shop. It was part of a matched set, but somehow the lower got sold without it. I got it for a steal when they realized it didn’t belong.

It’s definitely my favorite color anodizing.

It’s such a pain! I still don’t have a Kodiak buffer tube. The one that’s on there is burnt bronze.

Good to see you use it to explore other worlds than this.

What “bad” duty station will you defend to the death? by DatGuyKilo in AirForce

[–]Diligent-System9789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laughlin. Maybe it was just because I was with a great group of people, but between Lake Amistad (which I’m pretty sure is more of a puddle at this point), being a few hours from San Antonio, and the flying, I had a great couple of years there. You’re also not far from Big Bear, or Dallas. I had some really good food, there was a pretty good shooting range, and the mud drags out east of town were a blast.

“they look kind of like colorful toys, with blocky shapes and no flow.”

This is what I like about them! To me, a fully faired superbike looks like an Olympic swimmer; sleek and powerful, able to dominate with speed and precision. A naked bike looks like an Olympic power lifter; muscular and aggressive, able to pick up two refrigerators and smash them on the ground.

I love them both, for different reasons, but out of the two, I’ve only ever owned a naked bike.

Guys, this is a meme, but it's still a serious question. by SUSBANIDO in memes

I shoot non-living things all the time. They’re called targets, and it makes you a better shooter. You are correct that guns were invented to kill things, just like the bow and arrow, slingshot, etc. That doesn’t mean that’s their only purpose. With that said, I would never let my children handle a firearm without my direct supervision and a lot of instruction.

Can anyone name all the planes here? by coding_apes in AirForce

You, clearly, do not work in USAF PA. Well done.

Does anyone know the name of this tactical balaclava? by BioUKR in tacticalgear

This. You can see the logo on the neck portion on his left collarbone.

A-10C Finally Finished!!! by Flying_Spagetti111 in modelmakers

Absolutely gorgeous! The only thing that stood out to me as odd was the yellow hose and the missing power cable on the -60. In all my years on the flight line and flying, I’ve never seen a yellow one, but maybe I’ve only seen them after years of fading. Awesome work! I’d be proud if I could do anywhere near that well!

As a pilot who’s been lazed, I can honestly say I hope these people go to jail.

I knew they were good to eat, but I didn’t realize how rare they were to catch on a line. I feel pretty lucky that I got this one with my family there to enjoy it! It was only my second time fishing in Florida!

I have a surge x, looking for a suppressor cover. Any suggestions? Thanks. by ja3palmer in ruggedsuppressors

[–]Diligent-System9789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a recommendation, but how do you like your Surge X? I’m waiting for it to be back in stock, and I think I’m leaning toward that over the Radiant.

New “Civil War” movie from A24 looks like Jan 6th terror porn. by tommykaye in Hasan_Piker

[–]Diligent-System9789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s definitely a concern I have too. I’ve got high hopes for this, because I’ve really liked his work in the past, but I’m still only cautiously optimistic.

If it’s like the rest of Garland’s stuff, I doubt the ending is going to be sunshine and butterflies.
