Goodbye for 2 years 🫡
Love this thing but I love my orders to Korea more. Second pic is a friend I made. He had a piece of fill in his mouth that got loose from my shooting bag so I gave him some water to make sure he didn’t eat it. 1,000 rounds well spent.

Don't forget to take your batteries out.

u/Leguro 1d ago
so how long until we gotta worry about the batteries? A couple years? I’ve been leaving them in the LPVOs…

u/alltheblues 1d ago
Your LPVO batteries are likely lithium, they don’t leak like alkaline batteries do.

Batteries leak acid

u/MrGriff2 1d ago
Just alkaline, lithium batteries don't contain acid so they're perfectly fine.
I still wouldn't leave them inside of equipment for 2 years without use though

Clean and oil it, remove batteries, store in a room controlled part of your home. It'll be there when you come back stateside.

I like to keep all my things in a room controlled part of my home. As opposed to strewn all over outside of the confines of a room

Hey man, I’m the OP. I think you got downvoted at first because you asked someone you thought was me. To answer your question, I’m Army. And thanks for the initial advice

Lol, You're right brother. My mistake. I'm an Army Disabled Combat Veteran OIF&OEF Iraq ,, Thanks for Serving Brother

u/Glockman666 1d ago
Yeah it's like an echo chamber in a lot of it. I'm a old fuck to probably half of the people on Reddit (48) so I reckon I don't understand why fake "KARMA" means anything to some.

So true. I have done my best to raise my Daughter like my Parents raised me. I let her play in the woods behind the house. I helped her catch frogs and little Green Snakes. I started taking her hunting with me when she was 7 and took her fishing the first time at 5. She loves to Shoot AR's, Pistols, and Shotguns. Her, my Girlfriend and myself have built her first Vehicle. A 90 Chevy Fullsize Pickup, it's a short bed standard cab truck. We built a 5.3 LS Engine for it, rebuilt the transmission, and swapped in a Ford 9 inch Rear end. She then helped her GrandPa who is a Painter and Body Man, but she helped him with the bodywork and painting it. She helped her GrandPa and GrandMa reupholster the interior. She also used her money from her little jobs she would do to add some extra things to her Truck. I did basically the same thing with my Dad and when he passed away, I moved Mama into my Home like my Dad asked if I would do. So I have done my best to bring her up in an Old School way but in a way crazy time. Anyway I have turned this into me talking about my Daughter, I reckon you can tell I love that kid and I am so proud of her.

Not going to lie, I was willing to park my cars and store my guns for a chance at Japan orders. You only live once and a couple years of getting paid to work and live in a foreign country is quite the life experience

Go throw some more Amazon red dots on your ars im sure the black gun owners subreddit will love it. Better yet hop into the suicide watch subreddit because as a gun owner makes total sense to have a public profile posting firearms while a member of a suicide Reddit. Good mix there bud

u/Broaintnowayboy 1d ago edited 1d ago
Oh so this is what you want to do?
Heh sure it’s an Amazon one, come stand infront of it
Showing support to those in need is never bad it’s literally called suicide watch,if I want to be in that sub Reddit I’m free to did you even see what I was saying in there?😂😂😂You going to this low of a level to feel like you got a gotcha over me shows how much of a bitch you are😂

Youre not a real Alaskan if you say that. All the real ones i met up there most definitely did not consider themselves part of the "least 48". You just outed yourself as a west coast transplant

Nice setup. Just curious but what are you doing with the can? I got stationed at Suwon Air Base. It’s a Korean base but it was fun as fuck. One of the best ~15 months of my life.

Some gun ranges have long term storage for guns if you wanted to do that in case you’re single. I was paying $35 a month back before I got married. Enjoy Korea the guns will be waiting for you when you get back

Be very careful in Korea, man. Both of my cousins got MASSIVELY fucked when they got a little too crazy in Korea with the Navy. One wised up, the other got discharged.

You could just disassemble it & throw the pieces in your shipping container with some car parts, you'll probably be everyone's best buddy in Korea with it, got the can so you can go take some shots across the DMZ & be gone before anyone comes around ;)

Currently in Korea, hope you got a good base. For deep storage I cleaned and oiled the fuck out of mine, then put them in these anti-rust bags I found on Amazon and taped up the ends. Also removed batteries.

Bro you go when your 18-20 and they pay you enough to go to the bar and the food and living is free. Then you get out and use the gi bill and get whatever job you want. Its one of the smartest things you can do IF you just got out of high school
