Nice sticks. Should we start a show and tell thread? I think we all have some toys we could talk about. Might even help give people ideas on their next purchase.
That's what I need, more ideas.

Does the knife get a lot of soot on it?

That's not a knife. And it does get some on it. But it's easy to clean off by inserting it into some soft tissue.

A bayonet (from French baïonnette) is a knife, sword, or spike-shaped weapon designed to fit in, on, over or underneath the muzzle of a rifle, musket or similar weapon, effectively turning the gun into a spear.[1] In this regard, it is an ancillary close-quarter combat or last-resort weapon.

You take that instrument off the gun and it becomes a.....? knife ;)

These pictures are killing me!  Oh what I would do if I had money to spend!  :'(

They are a convenient size for the SHTF ready, bench rest, prone, and bi-pod shooting. I only have a few 20s. The bulk are 30s. Most loaded with M855. I keep several in the G2 bag.

These guns forums are very bad  places.    I just called MPE and put a 6940 on hold.  I plan to pick it up next week.   8)

Gryphon, I told my wife it is your fault.   I would watch my back if I were you my friend!     :o

If anyone is interested, Ohio Ordnance Works (yes, the heavy machine gun people) is selling the Grip Pod Systems GPS-02 (military version) forward grip bipod for $79 as part of their 12 Days of Christmas sale.  This is a $150+ item from anywhere else.  Do not confuse this with cheap Chinese knock-offs.



According to the website, it looks like they still have some left.  Mine came today.  Just wanted to pass along a great deal for the AR owners here.  Works with any Picatinny rail system.

I've had one of these for several years. It is quite functional. A little on the bulky side. But nowhere near as bulky as one of those Harris bi-pods. And at $79 it's not a bad deal either.

Did you pick it up on time?  I see 6940's are going for as much as $4,000 on gunbroker now!

Yes!  I gave a downpayment last week and I made sure to get there on Tuesday.  They had the order all written up and waiting for me.  All were sold from this shipment. 

Thanks for the heads up!  I owe you lunch for this one!   :)
