So true in rural Alaska. ARs are second nature, everybody has ARs with 2 points around their neck on snowmachines. I really like the 16 inch barrels, short buttstocks and the quick shooting red dot/ghost ring Acogs when riding 4 wheeler back in on narrow trails. The kids and I have killed all kinds of caribou and blk bear with our ARs. Nothing like catching wolves on the river or around caribou with an AR across your chest. The newer shorter models sure beat my old Colt pre ban with the carry handle which you really have to respect when you open up cross country. That carry handle will bounce up and hit ya in the mouth quick.

Now, I do realize that our second amendment has nothing to do with hunting, but we use them just the same. Rural Alaskans traditionally have used cheap old military guns, M1s, SKS, M-14s, and just luv mini-14s. Funny thing is ever since we picked up the 6.8, 338 fed, and 308 Scar; we never shoot the 223s much anymore. I don't remember how to post picts or I would post some fresh meat picts with ARs.

I don’t think anyone got their hands on surplus M14s.

Now you need to figure that out again. Go back to the HTML sandbox or ask some questions. I've enjoyed your pictures here for years and don't want to see them end.

"I don't remember how to post picts or I would post some fresh meat picts with ARs."

Here are the instructions, only wordwise, because I don't remember the HTML escape codes that allow showing HTML code.

Left angle bracket (<), followed by "img" (without the quotes), then a space, then "src" (without the quotes), then an "=" sign (just the sign, without the quotes), then a double quotation mark (one of these "), then the URL (Internet address--you know, the http://address.com/folder/andsoforth/image.jpg), followed by a closing double quotation mark, followed by a right angle bracket (>), then a left angle braket (<), then a foreslash (/), then the letter, "a" (without the quotes), concluded by a right angle bracket (>).

The only space between all of that will be the space between "img" and "src." The rest--no spaces.

Make sure that the URL is the URL to the photo (ends with image file extension, like ".jpg" ".png" "gif" or whatever) and that it's a file type that will show on a web page (try by posting with "Preview" here).

If you want line breaks (vertical spaces) between your posted image and a comment of your own, put "br" (without the quote) surrounded by angle brackets for each space.

Oh...and the image has to be already posted on another web page somewhere (called "hotlinking" and done as already described above). FR doesn't allow posted images only to here.
