Looking good Colonel!  That reload was really smooth!!!  Now how's that reload go when you gotta go prone?

And where's the other half of that rifle-seems the front of that one's missing! :D

Heck Charles, Its easier when you're prone!  Just grab a handful from the Mills belt center back with the rifle open in front of you.  I did two reloads prone in one of our runs last year.  Got my white cracker jacks all dirty though!

Stole me a carbine offa some yaller leg what didn't need it no more . .

When I was watching your video I noticed you got your boat back. Check out the TITLE of the video below:



Did you get the license plates with it?  :D

There are several videos available on the USS TEXAS, BB 35 (I believe this info will help you access those videos) that might fit better to within the time period of "The Barracks" format.
Just a thought on my part.
My best,

Cool, bring that boat up to the Muster, maybe Pitspitr could work on getting the Loup river dredged out a bit. But better keep an eye on it while it's there, he might want to turn it upside down and make a tank out of it!

Sorry Blair. It was an attempt on my part at an inside joke and had more to do with the title of the video than the actual video or ship in it.

It seems that when Drydock was in High School he requested personalized license plates (and through a clerical error on the MO DMV's part) received them. Which made him, as far as the State of Missouri was concerned, the registered owner of the Battleship Missouri. It turned into quite an embarrassment for the State officials when the Big Mo was brought out of mothballs.

You'll have to come to the Grand Muster sometime and he can tell you the whole story!

Well, from the title of the video, it seems like they are finally going to turn it over to it's rightful owner. Let's everyone put together a sailor's outfit, we'll have a Muster aboard her!

As a new member to the Krag-Owners club, I have to agree with this assessment.   ;D  They're a joy to shoot.

I just like saying it: "Krag".  Or "KRAG!"  "Oh ya shure its a KRAG!"  Was there ever a better name for a rifle?  It just sounds Martial.  And its even a Martial Art.  (Krag Maga, also spelled Krav Maga)
