Colt 6400c Knights RAS, VG, and 300m. I'll put an ACOG on layaway someday. Even John Wayne carried a Colt. (not mine)

Patch, that is funny. I'm a dumbass. f&*kin' velrco. Attention to detail and all of that but its a lot easier for the simple minded folks like me with everything sewn on. I have one set of ACUs that the velcro is crappy looking already with the tear off your patches game. "your unit patch is upside down." I may make that my new sig line. |
I am working on it Molsen. I was active 11B. Rejoined Reserve MI as 97B. Transferred to ANG to 20th Grp. I am trying to get myself back in shape for SFAS. "Poser", that hurts my feelings. |
Spent some time at Ft. Hoochie Coochie? Sorry Gultch Saloon? 
|
Hehehe, I have to admit I have never seen an NCO who did not know which way their patch went on. Talk about things to earn your own personal smoke session from the 1SG.

Being an old man who served ALMOST 30yrs ago as a jarhead, this post has me rolling! I should really leave it to the Army guys to dish it out over the unit patch placement since we never used unit patches. But come on, an AIRBORNE patch upside down tells me one thing....... Yep, you guessed it! "Damn Velcro" was the excuse. Sure........... I did know who Charlie Beckwith was though......... |

Oh my fucking GOD!!!! ASSCLOWN ALERT! http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL494/2261123/14156691/211823775.jpg |
I was a fan of the Sports Gallery myself. Not as many military visitors, Friday night kareoke, adn the fact that I lived literally next door and could crawl home if need be made it a good time. Nice AR goofy-dick.

I agree you dicked up on posting the pic like that... But at least you are serving your country in uniform........ Unlike most of the people who are screaming POSER.... As they sit by their computer in their XXXL Multicam PJs fingering their latest tactical equipment. |
Excuse me? |
The point is, most of us have, and or still do wear the uniform, and a fuck up like that is beyond comprehension. Even for a Recruit two weeks beyond Reception Battalion, let alone an "NCO", hence the rampant suspicion..... 
|
| With this stupid new velcro shit I bet that happens often especially with a patch that almost looks the same either way. Give the guy a break. At least your wings weren't on upside down. I agree with them on the safety selector being on fire. Can't stand it when half the AR's I see on here are on fire. Just something that was drilled into me and that was to always have it on safe. |

Ok, before we bust on ChupDOg to much here. What unit? Are you on the Training Team or a support dude? Have you been to selection before (no shame in failing, most of the cats who make selection the first time, get failed at the SUT during the Q) And for the record, the M4A1 are stored in the arms room with the weapon on fire, hammer forward, also with the sight rail indexed forward one notch to fix the racks. And if you leave your cool guy shit on the rails, it won't be there when you get the M4 back out, cause some other team will rat fuck your shit. 18F40.. |
I beg your pardon, <Knock This Crap Off - Forest>.. Weapon comes out of the arms room and the charging handle comes back, eyeball hits the chamber, dustcover gets closed and the weapon goes on safe. It works the same way through the arms room door/window as it does from under your mommies beds... |
Wrong, <Knock This Crap Off - Forest>.. Before the weapon is put into the arms room the charging handle is pulled back, you eyeball the chamber, release the charging handle and then PULL THE TRIGGER. I don't know what fucked up branch of the military your in or have been in, but the way I've described it is the way it's suppossed to be.

Reading comprehension isn't one of your high points, is it? Here, allow me to help you. You quoted glock10mm with him specifically saying how a weapon should be stored. Then you went off on a tangent about what position the selector switch should be in when the rifle is checked out of the arms room.  I then responded with the detailed step by step procedure for prepping a rifle for storage (since this is what glock10mm was originally talking about anyway...). |
Good to meet a fellow Colt 6400c owner. Very sweet weapon you have there. I sent the upper to CMMG to have the FSB swapped and barrel shortened to the 14.7" and a A2 flash suppressor installed. The did a very good job with the flash suppressor. The not so good part was the gas tube was not pinned in the FSB, and for some reason the CMMG gas tube ahd a slightly larger diameter than the Colt. When I inserted the BCG it only when in about 9/10. When I pulled the BCG out the gas tube came with it. I had to pin the gas tube in the FSB myself, and then reduce the diameter of the gas tube with some fine grit sandpaper. Shot it late Saturday afternoon for a quick zero and got about 4" at 100 yards , with the KAC 300m, after running up and down the range trying to get setup as the sun went down.  |
i swapped the entire barrel off of mine (16" --> 14.5" Colt M4A1) and randall at AR15barrels pinned the phantom on... some questions: is your lower rollmarked colt's mfg or colt defense? what are the forge marks on your upper? |
when did you buy your rifle? is your bolt stamped "C" or MPC? apparently myself and some others got some weird anomaly Colt MT6400C's with Colt Defense lower's and Diemaco uppers and MPC bolts around the initial push of OIF... |
We had fun at my old Reserve unit telling this 2nd LT that his rank was on upside down. He looked the first couple of times. Huge guy, 6'3" muscles with a good sense of humor. That's why I am MI. 
|
Sorry for the hijack, you can answer me in a PM if you want. What do you guys do for fun in MI? Long story but in a month or so I have to go before a med. review board to find out if I can stay on flight status. If I can't I will need to find something else to do. I'm MOS shopping
|
If this was in the last month or two, I probably did the shorten and thread job on that barrel for CMMG. CMMG has been sending me a bunch of their "shop work" jobs like shorten/thread/profiling. |
