So, the PEPR mount finally came in for the DPMS .308 and I mounted up the Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 and the Midwest Industries quad-rail foreend. It looks great and I can't wait to get to the range to zero it in. Still looking to add a bipod and 200 watt weapon light. Then, it's Adios Puerco, Hola Carnitas.

BATF and Justice in Deep Mierda
So, in a recent article on Foxnews.com, Congress is about to ream the BATF and the Justice Department over Operation Fast and Furious; a program of allowing and encouraging gun dealers in border states to knowingly sell large quantities of weapons to straw buyers in an ultimately futile effort to track them to Mexican drug gangs. The program spun wildly out of control and most of the weapons disappeared from sight. Some of these weapons have been used to kill Mexican law enforement officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents.
It's ironic that BATF/Justice would allow this to happen with high-velocity, high-capacity, semi-automatic weapons but continues to "Delay" me when I try to purchase a lever-action rifle that fires handgun ammo.

Tsunami in Hawaii
With the huge earthquake in Japan today comes a Tsunami warning for Hawaii. I hope it doesn't wash away Obama's original birth certificate.
New Toy
Well, not exactly new...
I finally bought my .308...technically a 7.62x51 (or 7.62NATO) rifle. It is a DPMS Sportical. Need to make a few additions to it, like a quad-rail foreend, BUIS and a better optic. I've decided to sell the WASR to fund the additions, as I've lost faith in it to hit anything beyond 50 yards, and I already have several carbines that can hit dimes at that distance.

Need Upgrade
So, Rock in a Sea of Chaos and I went to Red's last week for a little end of the year shooting entertainment. I figured that after the success with sighting in the scoped Marlin .44 mag, I'd do the same with the WASR.
It was not to be... :(
Could not get any rounds below the 9-3 line at any distance. Cranked the elevation down 20 clicks at 100 yards but the POI would not drop. Although it is likely a scope issue, it has disappointed me to the point where I am considering using the WASR as *gasp* trade bait. I really want a 7.62 NATO (.308) rifle and I could apply the trade and some cash to secure it. I've looked at converted Saigas and CETME's but narrowed the search down to the DPMS Sportical. It gives the modularity and flexibility that I want without having to learn how to gunsmith. Also, the cost of acquisition is tolerable and might leave enough for a decent optic.

Farewell, My Friend. I'll Tip One for You
It is a sad week around my place, as we had to say goodbye to our dear Shepherd/Chow mix Bingo. He was a playmate, friend and protector for 16 years. He watched over my wife when she was pregnant with both Angels and kept a keen eye on them until the end. When he was younger, we used to sit at the bar at the Gingerman in Austin and watch basketball together; him sitting in my lap and both of us enjoying some Anchor Porter. One night, my wife and I were sitting in a booth at the G-Man with Bingo and a Dallas-type young lady (you know what I mean) walked up and called Bingo "Sugar Biscuit". I thought my wife was going to go over the table for that one (I don't recall her having that kind of reaction for anyone flirting with me).
He will be missed.
He will be missed.
