Was interested until this a-hole called his genitals “junk”. I have absolutely no time for stupid people and stupid comments. Hopefully he wont use his “junk” to foul the human gene pool.

Rifles, shotguns, and AR-pistols should have slings. ALL of them. I’m partial to the one marketed by LaRUE Tactical, installed as a single point sling, it’s padded and quickly adjustable. If a rifle is too heavy for single point, two point works. Some even favor the three point “Ching Sling” type.

@ragman I read dictionaries, encyclopedias, hydraulic and variable frequency drive tech manuals, military field manuals, TCCC manuals, seed books, first aid manuals, Fed Reserve quarterly reports, etc, etc, etc for fun. I have three patents ranging from fluid power servo control to field machining to paper/steel mill fluid lubrication condition monitoring; onsite, remote desktop and IIoT cloudbased. So I am a geek when it comes to the precise application of language much less technology. Really, junk, that’s your beef – sheesh, whatta wanker.

@Pat Hines +1 on the slings. Different weapons platforms can be challenging. My crew (yuk, a son in law whose Airborne Ranger Dad left him with no weapons saavy, my son who, as an elite athelete is a CQB not to mention +400m stud, my daughter who is the FFA weapons team sponsor at her NC school). For some reason, I really struggled with my 20 inch Mossberg and my 20 inch Remmy SPS with Magpul Hunter stock – could never really find anything that felt comfy. Settled on Magpul products.

@Pat Hines. Are you in NC? I go to Leeds in Chester A LOT but I am looking for a spot to sling lead farther than 100m. The Cap’n has extended me a possible holiday meetup if I behave myself on his blog. I am really looking to generate local (Charlotte/NC/VA) meatspace community. I tried it with the OKs but it got sketchy and unravelled quick when I was living uptown Charlotte not to mention the local head dude suddenly exited te the local OK scene stage left.

I have solid contacts with farmers and ranchers in SC from 30 mins to 1.5 hours from Charlottr. I also have several folks that are doing organic farm to table BtC delivery bidnesses. Would love to network. Cap’n, how can like minded Charlotte MSA dudes meet in meatspace?
