I see, we really needed a weekly thread. OK, somebody please ping me!

I figure that a weekly thread would work just fine for us. When this one reaches 1,000 posts, we'll maybe dial it back to just info on the XM-8 project tracking.

The weekly thread, in my opinion, should have no set topic. Instead, it should be like, well, the porch at your local gun shop. That is, a place where we get together on non-shooting days to talk guns in general, exchange information about loads, favorite weapons, etc.

Say one of us got a new piece and range-tested it. We'd all hear the tale and comment on it that week. Also, we'd (of course) shoot the breeze about Second Amendment stuff in general.

I've got some real good ideas, but I'm due back on base at 0730 on the 25th, and I'll be driving there for the two days prior. I'm my new shop's Assistant Leading Petty Officer, as well as its Training Petty Officer, and PLUS I'm still a Naval Aircrewman, subject at all times to the Flight Schedule, so I probably won't be able to post and manage an entire thread for a couple of months, but I'm sure the talent is out there.

Maybe the threads could go up, say, on a Sunday afternoon and run for the week. Then we could talk about all the rounds that got fired up over the weekend.
