USMA07 conducting a reload ... smokin'






Jimmy directs my attention to his Magpul MOE pistol grip that was stippled by Ben at www.boresightsolutions.com

CROZ clearning a malfunction ... I'm still amazed at how fast he could run that SCAR:








Jimmy finishes up a drill:


Lowlight sizes up another shooter ... has that "Yeah, I can take this guy" look on his face .... don't f**k with Lowlight:

Last pic for example... Does the neck wrap really keep you that much cooler? I understand in a desert, but does it work all that efficiently even here in teh States? I like these pics man, good job.

The hadji rag? It keeps brass off you, too.

Ah, thxs Driftwood. I didn't know the proper term or reasoning. When I was working the farm before the grandparents died, we (dad, brother and I) always wore our bandanas around our neck to help keep cool. Didn't know if the "hadji" served the same purpose.

That black SCAR at the top of this page looks nice... The only "weird" thing to me is that the 6 inches or so of barrel sticking out from the block don't look aethstically "pleasing"... but I guess a battle rifle is not supposed to look good huh? HA. Anyone have first hand experience with them? How do they run? Do anything better than a regular Ar15, etc?

Ah, so those are out? Thanks for the clarification. Thought it looked a little off, but I didn't know. Still, same questions are staged... Anything "better" (I know that's a subjective term) than a plain ol' ar-15?

For you EAG fans out there. Now you can be really prepared for your next course.

About the rag thingy. I wear one. But it is so my delicate neck skin is not burned to a crisp by the hot Colorado Sun. I need to keep my pretty neck in tact so I won't appear inferior when seen by the spousal unit. (And I have this skin condition - seriously - that gets worse when I'm burned.) So for me its added protection that sunscreen doesn't give me. Don't know about cooler.
