i like it.
i had the home page changed to list the recent posts because i think some people where having a hard time finding the new posts. now you can instantly see the latest 20 posts and if you have something to contribute to one of them you may not forget about it if you dont get to it for a few days.

i had the idea of having the big pic you see on the home page rotate every few minutes to a new pic that we have in the gallery link here but im not sure if thats possible.

Site looks great! But you know for us old guys it will take a while to get used to it.

I like the M-16 Especially the bullet holes in the back. Is the HT thumbnail yours?      Greg

Hey it looks like that M16 has multiple shovels and pick axe handles mounted on. Neat to still the later config with the tools actually mounted.

im bringing it back to the old look. i have had a couple people contact me for parts that are easy to find posted in the categories but they cant locate them.
i think the look made new viewers assume it was a limited information site or small chat forum.

i have a few more improvements to do but it will stay basically like this.

Hi Steve

I know its your site, but I thought the new look was great and very easy to figure out. Also your cover page half-track with the bullet holes was way cool, I will miss it. Thanks for the site.       Greg
