GL is a private company that has a contract to run on-line auctions of government property. You have to pre-register, and there are a few hoops to jump through (especially on sensitive items) but the kicker is you have to arrange your own pickup and shipping... Not too bad if you can go pick...

Those go for about two grand each, new. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=34027&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10111&subdeptNum=10628&classNum=10635 And even if they've been used (odds are no, they're packed in large aircraft...

OMG. Those are "Field Sterilizers". Very rare and hard to find. The stove is more like a primus than Coleman, but has 2 burners, burns any kind of gas. The case is actually the 'pot', and should have a perforated rack to put whatever you're sterilizing in and lift it out. They're also good...

Everyone with a handheld, and most folks with a mobile, should also have coil-up J-pole antennas for them. Just in case. They're easy enough to make, made from cheap parts, don't weigh much, don't take up much space (at least on 2 meters and higher freqs), and are way better than the rubber...

Yes. I have a 2002 Excursion and 2000 F250 with the 7.3. Great engine. The 6.0? May be the second worst diesel ever made, after GM 'converted' the short-block 350 to diesel for street cars....I've never heard anything good about it, it's not strong enough to reliably take any kind of tuning...

With the 6.0L International engine? No thanks. Second worst diesel engine ever made (after the 350 GM 2-bolt main they put into street cars).

I used to do "Hug A Tree" with my last dog, Boomer (a GSD). He wasn't a search dog (he had allergies), but was so good natured that the kids could pretty well abuse him all day long. All of Hug-A-Tree's information is copyrighted and they were aggressive about enforcing it. I've lost track of...

An interesting, slightly technical discussion of the shot: http://blog.joehuffman.org/2010/05/05/2707YardShotInAfghanistanByTheNumbers.aspx And the Brits and Canucks are Our Boys....the League of English Speaking Democracies (N. Hemisphere Division), aligned against the forces of darkness.

They (the brits) call it an 8.59mm. It's the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge, based on a necked-down .416 Rigby case. Also known as the 8.58x70, 8.59x70 and 8.60x70mm.... And why not the sportsman forum? Seasons open, no bag limit....

Well, if Kerry said it, it's not a myth....it's a fantasy.

Also known as .338 Lapua Magnum, or 8.6x70mm or 8.58x70mm. Inherently a very accurate round.

Thats what he used....Nice rifle, the price on GunBroker for them is going up right now (but nowhere near what the Brits claim to pay for them). Of course the 3x rule applies (plan on spending 1x for the rifle, 1x for the scope and mount, and 1x for practice ammo and accessories). On this...

The previous record was also with a .50BMG, a MacMillan Tac-50 by a Canadian in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (Cpl Rob Furlong), also in Afghanistan in 2002, of 2430 meters. He's now a cop in (I believe) Winnipeg so be careful up there!

Common misconception. There is nothing in the laws of war about shooting enemies with a .50 cal. This whole concept is just one of those military legends. And, as I learned, don't shoot at the enemy: shoot at the web gear on his chest (it's OK to destroy enemy equipment). The closest...

The truly amazing shot wasn't the two muj. It was the third shot he took, hitting the machine gun. The machine gun is a LOT smaller than one of the muj..... Kudos to the squaddy. Exceptional shooting, indeed.

Thats still a nice unit for pilots...thought about selling it on ebay and buying something more suitable? Theyr'e from $200-400 right now. The latest software and manuals are available at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=169&pID=135 I have no idea if the database can be updated that much.

About 10-12 years ago I was part of a group looking into this sort of technology for SAR....specifically flying a small UAV into areas that big aircraft couldn't go, or would be too dangerous to try. Nothing came of it, but the technology is WAY more advanced these days so who knows? I was...

Wow. Thats a lot of money for a deuce.....you can get lower mileage M35A3s (CAT engine, auto trans, super single tires) for $10k or less...

Well, a dead .22LR case looks quite a bit different than a live one, won't (usually) feed from any magazine (including tubular or box) and so would have to be carefully hand-loaded into the chamber. Quite a bit different than military crimped 'blank' ammo that has the outward appearance (for...
