Opinions? I may just go with all blue like this one.
Opinions? Is "I hate you" an opinion?

If the black roof is a no cost option, then absolutely. That color combo is nice. If they want $$, then consider a wrap for the roof...may be more cost effective, with more options (ie. matte or CF?)

What i'm doing right now isn't internal scouting - it's external scouting of recently completed "Spring Games" at various schools. Today happens to be largely BIG12 focused.

I'm absolutely obsessed with football but watching a true sophomore work on elementary concepts (three step drop, five step drop) from the press box camera view, filmed by a potato....Not fun.

You like cars, watches and firearms. And judging from your avi, babes as well. Good man.

CA is lovely to visit. Was in the Dana Point area awhile back and I was just about ready to quit and move out there vagrant style hah. Reality kicked me in the teeth when I went to buy a can of Copenhagen and it was nearly $7.

Amazing place to visit, yes. You can drive from Dana Point to Oxnard on PCH and see the best of SoCal.

Very cool. The sights are horrible on the 50.00, but yes...it's a great platform and arguably one of the best designs of the modern era.



You may just be my new best friend. Do they have a storefront? *giggling like a little girl*



I don't...but I worship at the temple of John Moses Browning and FN.
Actually the FN factory is really old , but it's for sure the quality is there .
I was there back in time to see the handwork of engraving shotguns by hand and custom made for hunters with money .
I was interested in the sculptures , because I had some experience of it in wood .
So I was facinated to learn it on the metal parts of the shotguns .
The problem was that the people learn it in FN at the age 15 and stay up to 65 and retire , in other words their people are there till retired , and so it was not possible for me to start there , it's also a family factory and you need a family member to get started in the FN factory .
But now for the last 10 years times are changed and lots of people are replaced by machinery and robots .
FN => https://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&s...0.A7pni-vjBnw#
And the world famous old FN factory ..

It's surprising to hear they still have apprenticeships there, but the institution is so iconic, that maybe it shouldn't be that surprising. Thanks for the information.

No drugs. Dont you remember DARE?

My sister smokes and every time she does it around me, we get into a heated argument about it.


I cant handle any type of drugs, cigarettes, vaping, hooka, I'll flip out. I'm very very clean, drug wise. Ive never smoked a cigarette in my life (alcohol a different story) I was pregnant and at a movie and some guy was vaping. I had him removed.

I remember the giant bumper sticker DARE gave me; I put it right on my Mom's cars' windshield and she was not pleased.

I agree tobacco is a bad habit. By the next time i'm in Louisiana i'll have quit

FWIW cigarettes are far, far more addictive than smokeless. I was never a smoker but for folks who are like your sister, smoking isn't a little thing to give up. It sounds absurd to someone who isn't addicted but it's the truth.

I dont get why anyone would even start that shit. Its not attractive, kills you, makes you stink, turns your voice gross. I mean all that money could have bought you a closet worth of Valentinos and they choose to spend it on that crap?

It's not always the ends that kill you, sometimes it's the means to get there that do. Just how much of your self-respect are you willing to give up for more shoes????

It's really amazing you guys like that much FN .
I didn't knew , but the FAL was also one of the favorites of the US-Army , but after financial speculation it was the US-M14 .
Here more about the story => https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL

Few reasons why us Americans like FN.

-Other companies were scared to even partially export to US due to 922R compliance. FN is one of the first to do it w/ meeting the compliance.
-FN offers all the stuff we like P90/PS90, Scar series, FNX Tac, F2000/FS2000, even semi version of M249Saw soon.
-Very very light weight. I carried FS2000 at work due to lightweightness, then changed it to SCAR16 my final years. (again due to weight. even 1/2lbs will feel like 20lbs after long hours of work)

NOTE: please do not ask where i worked. I am still physically recovering from a job I quit yrs ago.

I don't recall removing it, some mod must've removed it. Anyway, I haven't shot any older HKs, but the only gun I've owned was a USP .45, but even then I rarely took it to the range; most of the time it sat in my nightstand since it was more so for self defense since the peóns decided to raid the upper middle class neighborhoods, and I wasn't going to let some guy with a crack fix steal anything from me, and I still regard it as a good gun.
