A good question…
The Curmudgeon asks a good question…
Roll your mouse over the picture.
Considering a new AR build.
I think I want another AR, build by Crusader Weaponry of course… but I think I’m going to do something a little different.
Being a Gun Counter guy at the best stocked gun counter in the western states, I see a lot of AR-15 builds in a lot of different configurations and normally I’ve just glossed over them, and everything in all the catalogs. But there is one that I keep coming back to… it’s not one we’ve stocked… but the idea of it is sticking in my head like a naughty idea. I keep looking at the Bushmaster MOE Dissipator. What I like about it is the longer sight radius for when using irons… and the longer gas tube, which does come good things for the gun’s longevity. Mostly a slightly lower cyclic rate which reduces wear and tear slightly. What a great looking gun… and it fits the way I shoot. I like that. A lot. I think I need a Crusader build along those lines.
Also along these lines, I’m about ready to just sell my Surefire Quad Rails and the Surefire Weapons Light, Mount, tape switch and everything. Hell, I’m about ready to just trade someone straight across for an MOE handguard with 2 rail section and a MX3 light. Weight. I’m tired of the weight. As much as I love my M4’s accuracy, I’m sick of lugging that thing. It is a heavy beast. Of course I have the heavy barrel as well, which isn’t helping, but at least I could trim some mass off my primary weapon… couldn’t hurt. (BTW, this wasn’t a Crusader Build)
Slipstream is just pretty good?
Sorry guys, I gotta vent my spleen here.
I talked to this guy the other day, and it’s been bothering me. I take Slipstream pretty seriously… and this guy said, “Oh yeah, I tried Slipstream. It’s pretty good. It’s made by a little father and son company in South Jordan.”
“No. It’s not. It’s made by Crusader Weaponry in Murray.”
“Well, I tried it and it’s not as slick NAME WITHHELD.”
Note to Democrats
Drudge has the headline “Dems to Taxpayers: You need to pay more.”
Well, Ogre to Dems: “You need to STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY!”
Arachnis Deathicus
This is the SECOND TIME it’s happened. I grab my brain bucket, pull on the gloves and jump on my Magna. I cruise around the corner, up the street, and hit the highway. When I hit 60MPH, the airflow through my helmet’s vents, dislodges anything that crawled into them.
What happens is I get up to speed, and all the sudden there is a Speeider crawling on my face shield. Normal reaction is to swat it. Well, tonight I swatted it. It of course, being INSIDE my face shield… was unhurt. So it jumped onto my face. On my cheek. Then it ran under my eyeglasses. (Insert the “Scream Like A Girl” sound effect)
At 60 Miles Per Hour. There it is. On my eye. Under a face shield, and glasses, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it until I calmly pull over and stop. BTW, my bike can make a stop from 60 in about 5 feet.
Kindle?
If you have a Kindle, or if you have a PC or Mac or Smart Phone and downloaded the Kindle e-reader, I got something for you.
My brother is a Prolific Writer. Get his books. They are cheap and Good Reads…
I have to admit that I really like his ghost story: Behind the Shroud. In fact, he has characters that make a cameo appearance in “Privateer”, one of the books I have in the works. Gorgon is also a very awesome work of Fantasy that takes a different look at fantasy “monsters”. His books are good, people. Worth the downloads. And quite frankly, he could use the support since he’s basically an out of work Substitute Teacher here during Summer Vacation. (also, he’s working on Gorgon II, so you’re going to want to catch up.)
Everything I needed to know about Huntsman
Is summed up right here. 25K to Harry Reid? Let’s also not forget he dropped being the Utah State Governor so he could accept Obama’s appointment to be Ambassador to China. Yeah, I don’t think I could play ball with Huntsman.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the Huntsman family and everything they have done for the State of Utah… The Huntsman Cancer Institute is the best in the nation. When my Grandfather was stricken with cancer, he went there… and he was treated with the utmost dignity and careful attention… better than any hospital treating any patient I have ever seen. I appreciate that greatly.
But I could never vote for any Huntsman for any office. Sorry.
Uprising
Raise your Gator-Bulls high! I have good news!
I’ve finished the editing and as of right now, the publisher has the manuscript and is reading it… and he’s digging it.
Final Word Count is 151,586 words. This translates into about 600 pages.
Sealed Mindset and Crusader Weaponry
Retired Navy Seal, Larry Yatch, is one of the most impressive men I’ve ever met. Great guy. He has started a very impressive training school called Sealed Mindset. We talked at SHOT Show together with Joe Chetwood about building a rifle for a friend of his. Evidently the gun was a success. We now build their guns built to their specs.
Guys, these are probably the most hard core AR-15’s we’ve ever built. No, strike that – they are the most hard core AR-15’s we’ve ever built. And these guns are exclusive to Sealed Mindset. We can’t sell them to you. If you want one, contact Sealed Mindset, and order one. While you are there, sign up for a training class to go with it.
