Pistol Storage

Necessity is the mother of invention. Good idea.

Excelent, I will build one for when my kids come for a visit.
If you are in need of odds or ends of hardware or whatever please post in on LJ, I would think some of what you need for projects like this are laying around in someones junk pile and would gladly share it with you.

Please give our regards to the troops! You are doing good work and are appreciated.

Ditto what Paul said about helping out with hardware, etc. Now I have a question – how do you tell which weapon is yours? ;-)

Well done

You keep me amazed on what you are able to accomplish over there with so little to work with. I would swear you were in the Marine Corps. Great Job. Thanks.

Telling weapons apart is easy – serial numbers. We have a weapons inspection every morning, so we have to track our weapons pretty closely. If you think the pistol cabinet looks confusing, you should see how we have our rifles lined up three deep – finding the right one during an attack is tricky.

When I was in the Marine Corps, if an attack was on, who cares what rifle or pistol you grab….as long as it is loaded and is not jammed…..ownership can be determined later…

Once again good ol’ American ingenuity….We surely have good reason to be proud of the great men and women we have serviing this county…they are indeed the best of the best.

I bet you fellow troops are very happy to have an excellent LJ in their midst…every project you have shown us is a testament to your ingenuity and problem solving skills….Keep up the great work!!

Stay safe…and secure…we are looking forward to the post of you returning to your family and loved ones..

Thank you from the heart for you posts and your service…

With the M4 and the M16, you have to site in your weapon to your eyes, so grabbing someone else’s weapon could be a big problem if you can’t hit the guy trying to kill you.

I am literally counting the seconds until my return home from this place.

All the best,

That’s a good point TD….We combat sighted all our weaps right after issue….and during requal….I think it matters most as you guys are in urban areas with lots of hiding holes. I would think the sighting is most important on the M16 as you need to use the sight it a bit more?...using the M4 for close ups you probably use more point and shoot…I remember the M16’s were a pain when they were introduced.. (The 16s jammed alot back then..mostly from sand – I understand that they re-machined them so that it is no so much the case…else that weapon would be useless over there)
