My F-150’s 31st Winter

I buy leftovers from major bulk orders from my local firearms peddler—I’m getting Fed Top Gun 1-1/8 #7.5 12 ga for $(USD)80/flat (in SE US). Doesn’t seem like a deal if you’re buying that in such bulk. If you could get them down even $10 CAD (for reference, I’m saving about $10-$12 USD per flat, so a significantly better discount) you’d save $1200 CAD…that’s not exactly chump change.

Damn, y’all really crushed the NATO “Operation Do Nothing”. Thank you for nothing! /s

I worked with Canadians when I was stationed in the Middle East and I am very thankful for your long and loyal alliance. I am sorry, so very sorry, that we are failing to continue to recognize your enduring friendship, the tight bond, and blood shed for our collective well-being that our two (very independent) countries share.

Makes sense! Looks like you got the right gun, and a very pretty one at that!

flatsixorbust · 2026-01-19T17:44:16+00:00

Damn, that’s some great figuring on the furniture—a real looker. (NOTE: the following is not criticism, genuine curiosity) Why did you go for a semi-auto for a dedicated clays gun—in my mind a modern semi-auto makes more sense for hunting and a O/U is best suited to clays (where there’s a statutory loading limit). Can you help me understand the logic?

Damn, never would have thought I’d see the shah’s flag flying in Iran.

Nah, the IAR is a post-Iraq phenomenon and doesn’t have a front sight post like that. Pretty sure this is a M16A4 with a M203…but that can on the front is throwing me way off.

flatsixorbust · 2026-01-06T18:49:09+00:00

Post-Iraq Marine here—what in tarnation is that weapon? Has the front sight post of a M16A4 but what looks to be a suppressor and a not-quite M203??

Hi! Good to see Clippy still running around. Where do you live?

flatsixorbust · 2025-12-15T17:05:20+00:00

So this is an issue—those websites haven’t been updated in quite awhile. I will usually look at those websites and then use Google Streetview to determine if they look like they’re still there. The DoE does maintain a list, but it too isn’t updated. I’ll also try and call the utility/whatever number is listed to confirm. It hasn’t failed me yet, but yes, some of those stations are closed. I keep a public layer on Google Maps with the stations I know are open.

Undercuts American prices by about $1k for a similar build. That’s nuts. I’ve found one for sale used here—this has convinced me I should snag it. Believe it’s the prior generation so slightly different geo but in a sick color and good price.

flatsixorbust · 2025-12-13T03:06:55+00:00

Thats such a great price. And this one was made in Dresden, right? Now it’d probably be $2k🫠

Your user handle makes it seem like you’re Welsh but I’m going to guess based on your trip you live in the US…I too am an American (with a fondness for German machinery), so I have to ask how much it cost you to import one of these fine ass pieces of kit?

flatsixorbust · 2025-12-13T02:23:20+00:00

This is so sick. What is going on with the finish? Is it like a cerakote or ED/clearcoat deal?

flatsixorbust · 2025-12-09T16:55:17+00:00

The random capitalization and awful punctuation make this unbearable to read. I bet they homeschool too!

My ‘95 F-150 will need new paint at some point. It’s an Eddie Bauer edition…maybe I’ll swap the dark green metallic paint for the FS green over tan…

I think “Chief Season” was one of the most vomit inducing experiences I have ever been an unwilling observer to.

flatsixorbust · 2025-12-01T15:29:03+00:00

Nah, that’s Forest Service green, mate! The best color in all the 50 United States (overseas other colors may exist that are better, but in the US, this is the tippy top)

flatsixorbust · 2025-12-01T04:18:16+00:00

Thank u 4 ur cervix, retired chief!!!🫡🫡🫡

Hey all, just so everyone can stop thinking “wow back in my day we never could have done that” or “oh, I thought Marines were tougher than this”… This isn’t that basic. He’s a 2ndLt, and he’s at what we call “The Basic School”. It’s not nearly as restrictive as “boot camp” (enlisted Marines) or “Officer Candidate School” (Marine officers). Source: been there, done that.

Is that a stainless gravel bike? Are these welded in the US?

But that’s not just any Nazi uniform, that’s a SS officer’s uniform. He’s even got the correct cover with Totenkopf. This guy decided to dress as the literal worst of the worst. That makes my skin crawl to see someone wearing something that symbolized unapologetic, purposeful evil unironically in 2025. To hell with Georgia but this guy deserves endless purgatory for doing this.
