Those are (30-06) M2 AP rounds in an M1 Garand en bloc clip, yes a clip. Loaded by Remington Arms in 1943 I believe. I’ll take those if not needed. :)
As for the Blue Tip stuff being the cynic that I am I almost think they’re just 223 SP that have been dipped in blue paint. Been wrong plenty of...
Doesn’t the military use FMJ ammo, never seen a soft point for military use. At least that looks like a lead soft point. Light blue should be incendiary and orange/red is normally tracer. Does headstamp have the NATO stamp on if? Can you get a pic of the head stamp? I’m sure someone more...
Edit: I did this on the build your own section on the website. I didn’t buy or order one. I can’t afford stuff like that now. Sorry if there was any confusion.
If you like the B36 some of the best aerial footage of bombers in flight is Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart. For its time it was some fantastic filming. Jimmy Stewart was also a true hero who divided his movie time with serving in the USAF. He flew bombers in WWII and remained in...

You need to stop shooting yourself! JK… Yes they get hot when shot a lot in a session. Anymore I just shoot mine enough to put fresh ammo in the magazines and keep my skills up. The gun is such a natural shooter for me and I love to shoot it. Very accurate, very easy to carry concealed and just...
I’m on several modeling forums and have many friends that do fantastic work with airbrushes. I wish I would’ve started years ago when there wasn’t such a variety of paints, thinners, hardeners and other substances being used modelers and their airbrushes. I actually have one and a compressor I...
I admire those qualities and am not threatened in any way. Working my entire career in a female dominated profession I’ve seen many of these women first hand and worked side by side in a variety of situations.
I meant the barbecue and rib places that cook out back with the giant cookers that send out clouds of smoke. Don’t have a clue as if there is a NY Style BBQ.
