Latest additions to the 11.5" Nightfighter:

- H3 buffer added - PRI 'Combat Latch' swapped for a Badger Ordnance Gen.2 Tactical Latch - Cloud Defensive LCS/Surefire ST07 swapped for Surefire SR07-D-IT

The only other major thing I'm going to be adding to it at this point is a Wolfpack Armory Night Howler (muzzle device), since I've decided I'm committing to the 'Plan B' suppressor ecosystem right out of the gate. That should be arriving this weekend.

Meanwhile, I will continue to pray for a YHM T3 Turbo or an Otter Creek Labs Polonium to come back in stock...

Other than that, the only thing I'd probably wanna change out in future is getting a CHF (or at least just chrome-lined) Barrel, but I need to stop playing musical barrels and just shoot the ones I have until they actually need replacement.

But overall, the form factor is exactly where I want it to be for right now. Once the new muzzle device is on, I'll do a full build breakdown/parts list.

Proposed new national monuments (Washington Post)

President Biden will probably designate a historic military site in Colorado as a new national monument in the coming weeks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Biden has yet to create a national monument since taking office. The new designation would apply to Colorado's Camp Hale, a World War II-era military training ground along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains, and the Tenmile Range, which have attracted visitors for their stunning landscapes and provide habitat for wildlife including elk, bears, otters, lynxes and migratory songbirds.

The official designation of the Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument could come as soon as this month, although no final decisions have been made, according to one person familiar with the matter, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Here are three other proposed national monuments, although advocates are pushing for many more:

In March, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland visited Castner Range in El Paso, as The Climate 202 reported at the time. The site encompasses about 7,000 acres that the Army used for weapons training and testing until the 1970s. While Castner Range is off-limits to the public because of unexploded ordnance, it provides habitat for wildlife including bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, badgers, sandpipers and roadrunners.

Haaland last week visited a site in southern Nevada known as Avi Kwa Ame,or Spirit Mountain, to discuss how to protect the area with tribal and local community leaders. Several Native American nations consider the site sacred, including the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe and the Bishop Paiute Tribe. “It's an area that has been occupied since time immemorial, and it's home to so many important cultural resources for all of the Indigenous people in this region,” said Taylor Patterson, executive director of the Native Voters Alliance Nevada and a Bishop Paiute tribal member.

In an Aug. 31 letter, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) urged Biden to protect Plum Island [on Long Islandf] from development, whether by designating it as a national monument or a national heritage area. The island is home to several endangered and vulnerable species, such as the piping plover and roseate tern, as well as two locations on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chieftain Mk.5 ‘06 FA 89’ “Badger” by Alan Wilson Via Flickr: British Cold War era main battle tank (MBT) Official designation:- FV4201 Manufacturer:- Royal Ordnance Factory, Leeds Production:- 900 for UK, 1375 (approx.) for export Main armament:- Royal Ordnance L11A5 120mm rifled gun The Chieftain was the UKs principle MBT from the mid 1960’s until the early 1990’s, when it was replaced by the Challenger 1. The Mk.5 was the final production variant. This example is marked as FV478236 on the turret and is is maintained in running condition by Military Vehicle Wing of the Duxford Aviation Society. Duxford Airfield, Cambridgeshire, UK. 23rd May 2021 Note:- The identity ‘06 FA 89’ is believed to relate to a Mk3 and might not be genuine for this vehicle. It’s also possible that this vehicle was previously painted as ’01 EB 14’, which should be a Mk2. To add to the confusion, the official IWM list of exhibits give this as being a Mk.10.

The "FDE A2" Project taught me a lot about what I wanted to get out of a "General Purpose" AR, so in my usual fashion, I've once again started another upper build -

Everything so far:

BCM M4 Flat Top 'DEMO' Upper

JSE Surplus Teardrop FA

Magpul Enhanced Ejection Port Cover

Badger Creek Ordnance Gen.3 Ambi Charging Handle, Tan

Centurion Midlength 14.5" CHF/CL Lightweight Profile Barrel w/ Tabbed/Pinned Gas Block

Forward Controls Design 3P15 Flash Hider w/ Thread Protector

Geissele Mk8 Super Modular Rail, 13.5", DDC

SIG Romeo5 w/ Scalarworks 1.93" LEAP/01 Mount (belongs to @bureau-of-mines, borrowing it for a quick pic cause I think it looks better on this build than my EOTech)

EvolutionGear IS-EG NGAL

Surefire M640DF Scout Pro w/ Z-Bolt Dual Function Tailcap, Tan (will likely change this to an M640V later)

Somogear Knock-off Modbutton Lite Switches

Magpul Wire Control Kit, FDE

Edgar Sherman Designs Sling (AOR-1) w/ BCM 1" QD Swivel

The philosophy is that this build won't be as optimized for night vision/suppressor use as the 11.5", but it's set up to readily accommodate it. I want a rifle that pushes out a little further day or night but remains light and maneuverable.

Basically a walmart great value URG-I.

Since I now have the rail estate for it, I moved my light to the inboard side of the gun - this allows more of the beam to shine straight ahead of me and plus I can now access the clicky button on the tailcap with my thumb without having to rotate the entire gun out of aim.

Why have the modbutton if I can reach the tailcap now? Redundancies, my child; should the somo modbutton ever go bad, I have a backup solution. Same reason the laser has a fire button on top, but I'm using a modbutton with that as well.

On top of all this, having the modbutton cables protruding in towards me helps further shield them from potential wear and abrasion.

Things to be added later:

BCM Gunfighter Vertical Foregrip, Mod.3 (MLOK), FDE (should hopefully get it later this week)

Aimpoint T2 Micro (or another SIG Romeo 5. I'm not made of money lol)

KAK K-Spec Enhanced BCG, Downward Venting, NP3 Finish (if they ever restock...)

Surefire M640 Body w/ KM2-C Head (to let me transplant the M640DF body/head to the FDE A2 build and have a positive shutoff for this build)

Suppressor of some form or another (goal is a YHM T3 Turbo, but we'll see what I get)

Know your way around Narnia

CS Lewis was born on this day in 1898. A poet, academic, critic and theologian, Lewis is best known for his novels, particularly the timelessly popular Chronicles of Narnia.

This delightful map of Narnia and its surrounding lands was drawn by Lewis himself and now resides in the Bodleian archives, preserving a privileged insight into Lewis’ world-making processes.

Lewis did not intend for his own illustration to be published in his books, intending instead that a professional artist would create a more polished interpretation. Pauline Baynes was introduced to Lewis by his fellow Inkling JRR Tolkien, and she redrafted the map for publication in Prince Caspian, the second book of the series.

In a letter with further instructions for Baynes, dated 8 January 1951, Lewis described the finished look he was hoping for.

My idea was that the map should be more like a medieval map than an Ordnance Survey – mountains and castles drawn – perhaps winds blowing at the corners – and a few heraldic-looking ships, whales and dolphins in the sea.

For those who do not know Narnia quite so well, here are some of the more interesting places on the map.

Aslan’s How: The mound covering what was once the Stone Table where Aslan was sacrificed.

Beruna: One of the four named towns in Narnia. Strategically built at the confluence of rivers, Beruna became the site of two great battles.

Cair Paravel: The capital of the Kingdom of Narnia, and the location of the Royal Castle where High King Peter, Queen Susan, Queen Lucy and King Edmund havetheir thrones.

Dancing Lawn: The ritual site for old Narnians, and the meeting place after Prince Caspian flees from Miraz’s castle.

Lantern Waste: The location of The Lantern of Ever Lighted Lamp, the lamppost where Lucy and Mr Tumnus first meet after she passes through the wardrobe. Lantern Waste is also where Digory, Polly, Jadis and their companions witnessed the creation of Narnia.

Miraz’s Castle: Where Prince Caspian is raised by Miraz, his uncle and un-rightful ruler of Narnia. 

Trufflehunter’s Cave: The home of Trufflehunter the badger, first talking animal that Prince Caspian meets and later a Knight in the Order of the Lion.
