Northern Virginia Roll Call

How much life you get out of one of those on a saw? I've got the Milwaukee saw in my list with the 12Ah kit but I've already got a few 5Ah batteries lying around and the saw is half the price of that kit.

 

Good deal seeing @EatSleepTacos heading West/NW to the Mountains.

Bet he didn't hear me honk with his newly improved sound deadening efforts!!

 

Quick update in the Jeep/RLD saga for @crashdb and @mtb_taco... drilled two holes for the front bracket about an inch forward and this thing is perfect now. Front seals nicely and the rear door closes without issues.

10/10 recommend but I'd recommend not being an early adopter next time unless you want to put in work. The Taco version has been around so you'd probably be good.

 

I checked this out online. This is definitely a sweet weapon. The tube extension would be a must for home defense to put it on par with other home defense tactical shotguns. That Kalashnikov will accept a 50 round drum. That's a bit extreme but 14 rounds some of the others carry is a bonus for sure.

I am not familiar enough with any of those bull pup names to give an opinion on anything about them. I have heard the Baretta name a couple time though.

It's a brand I would not have any doubts with. It really does look like they put a lot of thought into the basic features. The conical breach bolt, that larger sized safety, and the sights. Those are things some people disregard as being not important enough to make a difference on a shotgun. I was always proficient with the BB front sight on my 870 but I'd like to think my skill level would be greatly improved with the setup on the 1301. Being able to add tritium sights would be nice as well. And of course an Olight.

Yea, if money was no object and I was currently in the market, it would definitely be on the list.

 

Well damn! I know who to ask if I am ever in the market! Shit

 

Shoot a KSG before you buy one. They're fun as shit but you gotta rack it like it owes you $50 and the ejection port will fuck your wrist up. My wife still hasn't forgiven me for selling mine by I like my 590A1 more.

 

For any interested hunters, archery, shotgun, and muzzleloader; tomorrow is permit day for quota hunts in the Rappahannock River Valley:

Where is a good place local to NOVA to get my gas chainsaw tuned up?

 

@BTHawk stop sending bad weather our way!
Hope all is well

 

Haha, not me I swear! Just trying to unpack from my HHG mountain out here...wondering why I have half the shit that I do. Also had my first nose swab thanks to someone in my office testing positive, so that was fun.

 

It's great ain't it?

 

Mine is the same way. I bought a 12ga honing brush planning on running it through the chamber a few times to see if polishing it helps.

I dropped mine off at Mr. B’s Small Engine repair in Stafford. Did ok I guess.

 

Yep. Actually tickled and made my eyes water more than anything. My right eye was a little wonky for about 30 minutes or so afterwards.

 

Heh. Fortunately they were working on my eye right after. Other than that screw that test. Lady rammed that thing into places I don't know existed.

 

Truth.

Tried and true 590a1 with some upgraded furniture, pic rail/heat shield and sidesaddle topped with a "See All" tritium chevron/triangle sight indictor/post. It's fun to run at tactical shotgun matches and 8+1 before you need to reload makes for pretty decent lead thrower!

 

That’s why you’re supposed to be nice to the corpsman.

 

As the few people here that know me well will tell, I'm a big spender when it comes to firearms. I want what I want and I'll wait to get it. But I will get it.

 

True. This was done by the Army, though...which figures.

 

Looks a lot like mine except mine is FDE. I'm good with the factory ghost ring but I definitely need you to tell me where you got that heat shield though because that is damn good looking.

 

What side saddle is that
