Anyone been through MEPS recently enough to remember it?
How closely do they look at your whole body? Doesn't the doc do a whole group of people at once for the duckwalk/balancing/junk, then only inspect individuals when it comes to private parts?
They look inside your asshole. And the group thing is only 5 at a time so they have plenty of time to watch everyone

I bought a box of Remington contract 54r from 1917 today. Anyone know how rare this stuff is? Never seen it, bought it because I thought it was cool and it fits my 1918 Remington M91 well.

I'm putting a thread up early to start attracting attention towards what might be the dankest meetup of the year. (totally objective opinion)
While discussing locations for the summer Cali meet with brzfag on Slack, I discovered that we might totally be able to take over an old ghost town for a weekend and go shooting nearby. This idea made my dick diamonds instantly. The town was abandoned in the 50s and consists of a 3-story hotel building that remains in great shape and several smaller cabins and buildings in various stages of disrepair, in addition to tons of old mining structures and equipment, and is known for 2spooky happenings and awesome hiking and offroad driving.
>What's the catch?
I have no idea whether it can happen or not, but it looks like the stars might just align in time for a meetup in June.
There are usually visitors, but not in the national park sense, the place is very loosely regulated but campers and the like stop by on the weekends.
A scouting meetup is planned for the 29th of April (Date may change) for the day to locate good shooting spots within 1/2 mile of the town and how many of the structures are suitable for stalker'ing.
>Where the fuck is this?
The middle of fucking nowhere in Norcal. Draw a triangle between Redding, Sac, and Reno and it falls in Plumas county. There's literally no major towns that I can point out nearby. I'll post a long-ass map link somewhere in this thread so folks can start planning carpool.
>So what's the plan?
The scouting meet on the 29th will find out if the site is suitable, and report back with pictures and maps, I will call up the local ranger rick and make sure everything we'll be doing is on the level, and then the final date, schedule, and information gets released along with what needs to get brought.
>How do I get involved?
We have a Slack channel that you can join by posting a burner email in this thread, and myself or someone else with admin auths will add you in.

The hotel building which is regularly used by campers and offroaders, plus a google map link of the site.

I swear that thing was used in an episode of Longmire as the house of a survivalist nutjob.

This is the third time Hickock has forgotten his earpro in the last 4 or so videos.
Is he going senile?
>>29471192
His shaky son told him to bring it but he couldn't hear him.
>>29471192
He might be...older people just tend to forget things though.

I hope antman finds him and visits him
It would be nice to see what antman and grandpa will do on the next video
Recent Acquisitons.
Picked up this Over Under at a local gun show today for about 150 with a bit of ammo. Pretty happy with it but it's a little stiff. Any way to loosen up the (what I assume) hinge?
To head off the inevitable other questions, what barrel length?
>>29470979
gun oil.

Doesn't look under 16.5 inches from the pictures. Good question, though... OP may have stumbled upon a wild ATF sting, although if he did I'm sure his ass would have already been grass.

>closer to having a big iron on his hip
I'm really at a crossroads here, I have never hunted with a revolver and as far as the caliber difference most recommend the .44, it's just so damn expensive to shoot compared to .357/.38sp.
Any advice from you who own one or both of these calibers?
>>29470807
Pretty sure that 357 will kill damn near anything in North America with expanding bullets & decent accuracy
>>29470807
start with a 357
you can always get a 44 later when you have more money to spend on guns and ammo

Is the Marine Corps the biggest meme in the military? So much media attention is dedicated to them despite their small size and people trip over themselves to join even though they have less enlistment benefits. If anything it's remarkable they've continued to exist as a separate branch for so long. Someone please explain?
>>29470788
The illusion of choice.
It's just a dumb running meme
and the marines indoctrinate everyone who joins so they don't even see their stupidity/incompetence
A QR force on the go anywhere in the world in 24 hours, taking ground so that the army can hold it(in theory, though that didn't quite pan out in Iraq). If the army wanted to be as cool, they'd have hired better marketers.
How far can sociopaths get in the military or law enforcement? Are they easily discovered once they get in? Have you worked under one?
I don't mean edgy fat kids who wear black and kill puppies, but folks like pic related. Most CEOs and politicians qualify as sociopaths.
Pretty far I assume. They're notoriously good at faking normal human emotions but aren't affected by the difficulties associated with them.
