I didn't say that can't on the front handguard means the photo was edited, I just pointed it out. I don't think that part is photo shopped because he is clearly holding a vertical handguard so it wouldn't make sense to photoshop a crooked handguard on top of a straight handguard. I do believe your suspicions of an improperly mounted handguard to be the most likely explanation.

But feel free to offer your explanation of why the power ring portion has a protrusion in the image which does not exist on that scope. To me it looks like someone pasted an image of a scope over the old scope without erasing the scope from the original image and thus the old scope protrudes from behind the top layer of the image.

Our next shoot is on May 18th. I could ask the Marines to bring out a VCOG. Sans buying one, you are more than welcome to inspect one.

I circled the protrusion below the eyepiece/power ring of the supposedly backwards mounted optic (towards the front on the image) but the trijicon VCOG doesn't have a protrusion under that portion of the optic. The other portion I circled towards the read of the gun has a taper that is consistent with the taper power right of the VCOG.

The battery compartment where you labeled as a "protrusion" are on different locations on the 1-8 and 1-6 models.

Wrong, that's not how things work. It isn't about proving a negative because the image was never proven to be real in the first place. The neutral position is just that there is an image, proving it is accurate is no different than proving it is inaccurate. I can't prove its fake and you can't prove it is real. You just assume it is real while I looked and observed things that lead me to believe it was fake.

You have zero evidence to support your belief that the image is accurate and questioning my ability to recognize a photoshop job isn't evidence to support your opinion.

You obviously can't tell the objective from the ocular of a scope but you are here to argue and you haven't installed a RIS on an M4 before so you can't explain the obvious cant on the upper rail.
I can bring my M5 RAS to the range tomorrow to show you how it works.

Do you think you could kill more people with a knife than a gun?

Again you present no data or facts just a question. You really are here to argue.

You got your own personal security at your whim when you can't handle negotiations and things get "heated". All the while your own constituents are disarmed - by you.

Is that Crazy Mary, the one who likes to hang out at the bus stop between HQ CINCPACFLT and SUB BASE PH?  That one often has signs about government conspiracies and similar gripes.  Usually wears military fatigues but changes often.  She's supposed to be former military, medically retired due to her "mental ailments."

A co-worker said he was waiting for the bus there, and he simply said "Hi" when she walked up. 

She started screaming, "Why are you following me?  What do you want from me?  Who sent you?  Stop following me!!"

He went back to the Makalapa Gate and waited for the next bus.   

:shake: :rofl:  :crazy:

She has passed many years ago. RIP Mary.

all done to divide and conquer our freedom loving society. With stupid people in charge and shouting over all others it is a lot easier. When our country is whittled down to a bunch of kindergartners it would be easy to manage. Taking money from a child. No need to conquer anyone. Gee I think we are already seeing that niao....





My dream of owning a brand new 200TREE Tacoma Leefted is over... :'( :(  I bet Zelensky already has one...

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/04/26/hawaii-taxpayers-will-cough-up-18m-state-workers-mistakes-misbehavior/

Hawaii taxpayers are on the hook for more than $18 million this year to settle lawsuits filed by dozens of people and companies.

Lawmakers, frustrated over repeated failures, did try to make some departments pay the cash themselves.

Altogether, the state Attorney General asked for nearly $19 million to settle claims and lawsuits over mistakes or misbehavior by government workers.

Senate Judiciary Chair Karl Rhoads has had to approve hundreds of settlements over the years.

“First of all, it’s just very frustrating, because it is taxpayers’ money, and there are significant amounts of money involved,” Rhoads said.

This year, Attorney General Anne Lopez ended up requesting payment of 40 claims, adding up to over $18 million.

The biggest settlements were both for neglect of repairs by the Department of Transportation.

The family of 21-year-old Joshua Banks will receive $3.9 million. Banks was killed instantly when he hit a guardrail on H-3 that had gone unrepaired for 18 months.

The family’s attorney, Ilana Waxman, said DOT regulations required the repair to begin within 72 hours.

“It’s a very, very tragic accident, but one that could have been prevented if the state had been doing its job and repairing the guardrail properly,” she said.

Waxman said after the accident, DOT did improve its process for expediting guardrail repairs.

The second largest settlement — $2.95 million — was for allowing a tree root to buckle and crack the road on a popular Maui bike route.

Avid bicyclist David Lawrence fell and was disabled for life, according to his attorney Michael Cruise.

“Their failure is that they didn’t do anything,” he said. “This condition appears for a number of years and for whatever reason, it just was never fixed.”

Cruise said in researching the accident, the road damage was apparent on Google Earth, but still missed by roving maintenance crews.

Rhoads said he is bothered most by repeated issues.

“It does seem like there’s a pattern with transportation and corrections that we just get claims over and over and over again,” he said.

So Rhoads’ committee sent a message about that designed to sting the departments pocketbooks.

Among the lawsuits against the prison system was a case of guards sexually assaulting inmates at the women’s facility. It led to a settlement of $2 million, but the Judiciary Committee voted to have the Department of Public Safety pay $800,000 of that out of its own budget.

In the case of DLNR Conservation Enforcement Officer Ethan Ferguson, who raped a girl at a state park, the committee said of the $1.25 million settlement, $500,000 should come out of the DLNR and Department of Human Resources budgets.

“The message obviously is please don’t get any more of these claims — do what it takes to stop getting them,” Rhoads said.

After the departments complained that they would have to cut services to pay the legal settlements and the attorney general testified that “the Department has a longstanding policy of advising agencies as to how to avoid claims,” lawmakers decided not to penalize the departments.

The bill funding claims against the state is in conference committee, but approval is certain.

Failing to fund the settlements would send many of the cases back to court, potentially costing taxpayers even more.
