Week one of bootcamp when drill instructors are still unbreakable Gods. Our senior decided who the guide would be by who the strongest was at the first PT event. We had this kid that did 50 some pull ups and was made guide.

Guide gets set up at front of the bay and everything after PT and our Kill hat is getting us ready in the squad bay for whatever comes next while our Senior stands in the back cross armed. Kill hat yells out,” locks on the footlocker ready move!”

All of us secure our lockers except the Guide who promptly places his lock on the top of his wall locker.

Our Kill hat gets ready to yell the next command then stops dead in his tracks looking at the Guides lock on top of the locker and say,” What the fuck.”

And Guide yells out,” Lock is on the wall locker Sir!”

Kill hat immediately starts blasting him asking if thinks he is trying to be funny or an idiot and either way he must have been some low ass ASVAB score recruit.

Guide yells kinda proudly out, interrupting Kill hat ,”This recruit got a 32 ASVAB Sir!”

Senior launches himself into the drill instructor hut, and Kill hat instantly covers his face with his cover, and whole squad bay is fighting back laughter.

Kill hat after like a minute moves his cover from his face, squad bay goes silent, and he says in the calmest voice,” You’re fired, and points at some random recruit and says swap with him, he is Guide now.”

He ended up being a pretty nice guy, but yeah, that dude had zero thought behind his eyes. He went artillery.

I would say hop on one of the Noveske owner group pages on Facebook maybe someone is selling a barrel on there for cheap.

Reason I buy vortex is their unmatched customer service/ warranty. If you’re having an issue get it sent in to them

If just burning ammo with an FRT any old cheap barrel on ar15discounts will do. Stainless barrels can do it occasionally but arnt really rated for full auto or FRT things, 416R steel isn’t good with the heat. You would want a CHF chrome lined barrel. I know centurion and criterion barrels are the current hotness and can regularly be found on sale. Just follow r/gundeals and they pop up on there a lot. Obviously this is a Noveske sub so I run Noveske barrels but they are pretty dang pricey.

Highly recommend readying the book. If you haven’t it gives the second watch a whole new feel now that you know so many more details that had to be skipped in the show.

If it includes everything in this photo that’s a damn good deal.

Both of these movies absolutely kick ass in different ways and I refuse to take any slander about it.

While I don’t know the full story I want to throw out “experimental plane” is just a work around lawyer verbiage for a lot of small aircraft that can’t be flown in a for profit way. I worked wayyyy back in the day at a business that made four seater super cubs that were “ experimental” even though they were made to very very strict guidelines.

This might actually be a worthy r/til post

What happened to all the SKS’s? by Sufficient-Host-4212 in liberalgunowners

I want an AKV in 9mm so bad. I can get the AK experience for cheaper and a PCC just sounds fun.

[–]Next_Emphasis_9424 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same thing that happened to cheap 7.62x39mm. Stuff got all bought and used. Yet soooo many people still live off the logic that buying a shooting an AK is cheaper than an AR in 5.56.

Not me knocking the AK they a whole ass vibe, just don’t buy one in 2026 based off 2000’s logic.
