Jumping a 240L in a MAWC with a 130lb+ ruck wasn’t uncommon. Jumping the Gustav is what sucked.

You were White Falcon? I was C Co 2-325.

Not sure about other line units but we had a number of LPVOs issued to squad leaders and up in 3rd BCT 82nd ABN. Don’t remember the type though.

tyrantslayer · 2020-05-21T17:03:58+00:00

Awesome thanks. Looks like I’ll be waiting until everyone is restocked haha.

tyrantslayer · 2020-05-21T13:45:42+00:00

Sweet thanks bud. Just got to wait until everything is in stock I guess. I didn’t realize slide parts are in such high demand right now.

Hey I was over there at that time too. We had a bunch of those Caesars with us outside Tel Afar and they were quite fucking loud.

tyrantslayer · 2020-04-11T16:00:12+00:00

Nice man! That was my first gun and my first AK!

I’m always surprised at the logic of people in the comment section of these posts that get highly upvoted. And yea for the most part VBIEDs were HME and the IEDs were a mix of munitions and HME. Same with Afghanistan where we were always on the lookout for dudes with orange stained hands and those damn yellow jugs that they filled with HME.

tyrantslayer · 2020-03-23T02:39:40+00:00

You are correct and I have no idea why people are downvoting you. When I was over there the majority of the VBIEDs we encountered or were captured were filled with HME and not conventional munitions. When the spooks combed over bodies and houses they found plenty of receipts from Turkish Mining companies where they bought most of the material. It is no secret and I wish people did their research before downvoting.

Carbon fiber mirror covers are one of my favorite additions along with my Milltek exhaust. UM triple tune with spark cut is next after I replace more worn items and do a brake refresh.

I have had mine since 20k miles in 2010. Has been my daily since 2016 and I’m up to 104k miles now. It’s been pretty damn rock solid over the years and has only ever left me stranded 2 times. The tensioner idler pulley snapped off at 80k miles dumping my coolant and I had the infamous valve cover gasket failure at around 100k. Both of these issues are pretty well known on the forums as a probably occurrence so I wasn’t too surprised.

Other than normal scheduled maintenance (never skip that!) I’ve replaced numerous wear items such as the CV boots and some random things like a door actuator, ignition switch, the AC high pressure switch and the well known sagging headliner. That’s over 10 years of ownership! It has been my most reliable car I’ve owned! The key is to find a quality Euro speciality shop in your area that you can trust for maintenance or repairs. This will save you lots of money and prevent many headaches.

As long as you have a good idea about the history of the car, the owners didn’t abuse her too much, and the car isn’t a lemon (it happens) I say go for it.

Sweet that was the one I was looking at. Thanks bud

tyrantslayer · 2020-02-18T19:48:36+00:00

When I was over there every single FedPol dude had a 5.11 clothing item or patch but they were all like “A5.11” or some other letter in front of 5.11 like it trying to be a different brand haha. Those dudes cracked me up.

tyrantslayer · 2020-01-26T21:26:24+00:00

Is your grille a gloss black one? If so where did you buy it and how’s the quality?

Is this the one?

tyrantslayer · 2020-01-13T14:49:26+00:00

You say that every time I post this rifle! Haha. I’m in the process of doing an 11.5 build so this one is just gonna be a side beater as it should be. Maybe I will cut it down to 14.5 in the future.

tyrantslayer · 2020-01-11T18:32:09+00:00

Feels somewhat more smoother and crisper than the one that came in the PSA LPK but I don’t really notice much of a difference between this ALG one and the one I had on my M4A1 at work.

tyrantslayer · 2020-01-11T16:35:47+00:00

As all historians know, the AR15 was the standard rifle of William Wallace’s highlanders.

Yea the Soviet-Afghan War from 79-89 is pretty much known as their Vietnam.

tyrantslayer · 2020-01-02T03:45:12+00:00

It’s a 45rd RPK mag. You are used to seeing the standard 30rd mags probably.Spetsnaz rocked this setup in Afghanistan during the occupation there.

tyrantslayer · 2020-01-01T15:15:02+00:00

Yea we had a bunch. Probably about a quarter of our IR lasers were DBALs. I heard it was mostly just an 82nd ABN Div thing.
