Wearing a black balaclava and carrying a high-powered rifle, former US Marine Gavin Long cut a chilling figure as he calmly walked around Baton Rouge. He is seen strolling alongside cars and through streets in newly-released surveillance footage, taken during the his horrific attack that left three police officers dead and another three wounded. The cameras then recorded him as he took up his shooting stance and fired at patrol cars from a long distance. During Sunday's brutal ambush, the 29-year-old from Kansas City, Missouri, kept shooting one of the slain cops as he lay dying on the ground.

One of the single best improvements you can do yourself is to get a decent trigger for it. The factory triggers are goshawful. I had a Rock River 2 stage in a light varminter set up and it was a big help for ~$100. It ain't a Geissele, but it was still a great improvement over the factory and assisted in the demise of many varmints. d:^)
I bought the National Match grade,maybe I got lucky because this thing really shoots.
I also load my own ammo,168gr SMK’s.
I pretty much reload everything I shoot.For .308 caliber rifles the 168 SMK gives me outstanding results.When loading for the M1A case length is critical for proper headspace,every round is re-checked with a case gauge.
My next reloading project is 110 grain V-max in the M1A.I want to see how well the gun works with these and also how well they shoot out to 500 yards.
Within 6 months of my divorce I hit the road; its been just over 4 years here and I’m very happy with the decision.
Amen on that RR 2 stage, exactly what I’d planned on...the Geissele is nice but out of my budget. I think rails and a stock upgrade will follow
I was following a thread on Lone Star Boars about buying property in Texas. They were saying people were waiting in line to buy there. d:^)
Nice choice...I’m waiting for one of the 6 mili rounds (spc/grendal) or 300blk to get a little more economical before I pick a secondary upper...also considering a piston conversion at some point. Really like the platform, so many options, too bad my budget isn’t bigger lol
To be honest I’m just focusing on chow and mags; picked up a decent sling and my chest rig should arrive in the next few days.I had to sell almost my whole collection (miss my Garand the most sniff sniff) to pay my divorce lawyer; kept the G21 SF for work (armed security) and only just recently picked up the M&P
And God bless Texas, get out here if you can brother, feel so blessed to live in a Free State finally. I tried to get my ex to move out here or somewhere similar, but she wasn’t having it.
Take care. d:^)
I’ve played with a SCAR; sweet piece but dang they’re pricey...enjoyed the chattage brother, keep in touch, I’ll update you via freepmail as I build this sucker up.
God bless and FReegards :)
