1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

sent axle roommate a text to remind him that I am renting a dumpster for any items still in the house on July 1 if there was any uncertainty about the date.

I do not feel like it was necessary but my buddy pushed me to do it so he's not totally blindsided. Can't wait to hear about how I'm screwing him over

@Kwikvette you should get a sun spider

 

Building out/upgrading an old Remington 700LTR I have laying around. Removed the factory stock and put on a McMillan A1, have a Mod 22 2-stage trigger on the way, upgraded the Harris bipod to an Atlas, upgraded the sling to a T.A.B. Gear Pinnacle, and finally was able to replace the old Trijicon Accupoint with a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42mm Mil-R Riflescope C461. Scope was a PITA to buy. Tried one place, backordered. Try at Optic Planet and they have it. Buy it and then get emails that they think I might export it and so I have to fill out a questionnaire. Do that. Wait one week. Hear nothing. Finally email asking about the process. Told, "Oh yeah, we sent that to the wrong department we'll do it right this time." Three days later I get an email saying "okay, you seem legit but read this EAR document and then initial here and here in this email to say you read and understand what you just read." Do that, wait 3 more days. Get another email from Optics Planet saying "we have an update on your order - go take a look." See that now the order is approved but the scope is on backorder for around 32 days. Lame. Cancel order which takes one email, one "live chat" in a browser and finally one phone call. Go back to first place (Euro Optic) and they have scope back in stock. Order goes right through and I get a tracking number 30 minutes later. Coming Sooooon.

 

I had one as a room mate once...but then it ran over my axle so I gave him the boot

 

WTF, is that the same as a camel spider? Those things are fucking aggressive aren't they?

 

Lol yes it is a camel spider, and no, spiders are not aggressive at all.

The reason why they either take off, or strike (depending on the species) when anyone or anything gets close to them is because anything its size or bigger is a threat.

It's life or death wherever they go.

Here's a baby cause, we had them all over in Iraq -



We'd freak other people out by catching the smaller ones and messing with other people; my buddy Steven about to "eat" one -

 

fucking camel spiders, it's like satan thought spiders and scorpions weren't bad enough on their own so he'd decide to mix the two

 

@spinyard DC frame to swap with?

 

Oof

I would've told you never to order from Optics planet lol

That NF is a nice little scope, got 2 of them and so does the SO.

Should glass bed that action to the stock but not before removing the barrel, getting the action face squared, bolt lapped, new threads cut, reface bolt lug recesses, and a Bartlein spun for it.

Last one I got done took about 12 months but it was getting me 1/4 MOA CTC at 100 yards on a good day though average was 1/3 MOA CTC

​

 

You know they're a class of Arachnida, but not really spiders right?

Also, their jaws can be as long as 1/3rd of their body...fucking huge.

Just thought you'd enjoy that fun fact

 

yeah I remember reading somewhere that they aren't true spiders because they've got 10 legs but still fall under the arachnid class

Just further proof that they are hellspawn

 

I bet you're enjoying today's conversation topic of Spiders, eh?

 

he's got a tingling feeling about it

 

I already reached out. Kind of, posted in that thread.

I technically have another frame already, but his is tempting me too. No idea what shipping would be on it. That’s ultimately the deciding factor

 

deciding factory sounds like a constructive place

 

Ya know what smart ass! loll
