    A similar story happened about the time I was exiting Florida for Alabama back in 2014 or so. The TLDR version is that a dude got pissed about all the distracted drivers around him and rigged up a...

    Oh for sure, pretty familiar with that situation after 6 years in Orlando, just shy of 3 in Miami. I'd have whinged less about the lack of a basement when I was down there if builders would have put...

    If you look at the lower, it appears that it's engraved with something resembling the "MK 18 MOD [0/1] // CRANE, IN" markings on the magwell so that would align with it being a Navy rifle and not a...

    That's a good deal. I've got a set that I've been using for ~4-5 years now and they've been solid. They get more use running a mower and edger than a pistol and rifle now, but I'm a fan. 50% off...

    One thing that I'd been wondering with all of this was how much of it was Boeing and how much of it was United Ops/Engineering/Management. That certainly gives a little insight.
