According to ISIS, they already have insurgents here. Part of their mission is to find soldiers' homes and "show up and slaughter them."
We will see. It's only a matter of time before something happens here. Schools are prime targets, little to no security. The mindset of many people in this Nation is "That could never happen here." even though it has. 9/11, anyone?
What about the Beslan school massacre? The last thing those men, women, and children thought that day was that it may have been their last.
I built this rifle with PSA parts. True quality. I learned that the rail is quite warm after prolonged shooting - must use a glove - no biggie. Even with a loaded mag the rifle is light! The Aimpoint PRO is solid. The Magpul MBUS Pro steel BUIS are solid too. It was nice not having to worry about bringing a front-sight adjustment tool. Overall, I am extremely confident in this build and will make it my primary rifle after a few more rounds.I did have an issue with the mags seating at first. I adjusted the mag release - problem solved.
Here's the rifle:

Freedom has no compromise. By definition it is absolute.
Do you ever think you have too much gear? I am reconfiguring my battle belt for the thousandth time. I think I figured it out this time.
Pictures coming soon once everything that needs paint is painted and set.
I did get a new plate carrier. I got the Grey Ghost Gear minimalist plate carrier. This PC is far more comfortable than my old PC. I am looking into a UW Gear chest rig to kind of layer my gear. My hope is that this approach will balance my load out. UW Gear is right in my backyard making high quality lightweight gear. I think their design is genius because of its simplicity. I don't own any of their gear. You don't need to own it to know it's high quality. Just look at it. I really dig the Swamp Fox rig!
If you're a gun guy/girl/whatever, and have ever heard of YouTube, you've probably seen the MAC (Military Arms Channel). He did a review on the UW Gear Bandoleer (I want one of those, too)
Check it out!
I've had the opportunity to meet these guys. They're good people with good knowledge and a drive to equip the prepared citizen with gear that meets their needs.
If this sounds like an advertisement so be it.
I guess this was my way of saying that it looks like I have some more gear to buy.

"Task Force Black was used to take out al-Qaeda in Iraq during the Iraq
War, and they plan a similar approach against Islamic State, one that
uses intelligence to undergird efforts to take out the Islamic State
command structure. This will include capturing certain persons in the
command structure for interrogation, leading to more intelligence for
Task Force Black operations."
Whether or not you agree with the war in Iraq you have to admit that the Special Operations guys were integral in dismantling al-Qaeda's command structure.
Aside from this news - Hopefully, I'll be able to post more regularly since work has calmed down. I should have some pictures up later in the week showing my new battle belt and PC additions.
