There goes the Whining again! The question obviously will not be answered by Duane so enough already. Or as stated is there another agenda, hmmmm I wonder.

If all you see is Whine and Cheese Scottso you need to open your eyes.

A person who has written a ton of posts concerning weapons, calibers, sniper training, shooting and other related gear must be able to verify his credentials when called on it. There is nothing wrong with being self-taught as long as it is made clear. Allowing a facade that you are a USMC Sniper extraordinaire and allowing that to serve as some basis to make your opinions expert is another.

This kind of stuff does not belong in W&C.

Wolfmann601, I am wondering....if your talking about DD where all of these tons of posts have been. DD very seldom goes on the internet, especially these forums. So when did he make all of these posts that you are talking about??

He thinks that someone, probably me or anyone else who supports Strider, is DD in Intarweb dusgise.

So Just for the Record. I was never in the USMC, and I am not named Duane nor do I live on the same side of the Big Scary Mountains as He.

If there is going to be litigation, Duane will be answering the question. Not here, but it will be answered. Supposedly, according to Duane, there was also going to be a statement from the USMC Scout/Sniper Association. When/if either of those things happens, the information will be available to post in this thread.

There is one huge separation between the two groups that remains, that is the simple fact the second group has never made any military claims.

Hey Bubba, while not "military," Mr. McClung claimed to have worked for the CIA at age 14. That's fairly high in the Secret Squirrel hierarchy. (Dark Genius: Kevin McKlung, Stephen J. Rivele, Hardcover, 1991)

From Kirkus Reviews
Spellbinding autobiography of a child prodigy--gifted in the black arts of weaponry--who enters the shadow world of international-arms sales. Raised in the San Francisco Bay area in the late 60's, McClung was the son of an aeronautical engineering genius and gave early proof of his own prodigious grip on ``mechanix'' by secretly building a complex electric rifle when he was four. McClung was accepted by the Bay area's genius education program for ``Mentally Gifted Minors,'' whose special scientific projects were constantly sifted by the CIA for ideas--with the best projects (including McClung's vest for bugging and eavesdropping) stolen and passed on to CIA scientists. At 14, McClung met OSS-CIA master spy John Colling, who taught him the basics of spy-craft. Then falconer and top CIA assassin Ray Goodreau taught him about falconry and animal training, unconventional weapons, and commando tactics; McClung had already shaped his body into a lethal weapon through the martial arts. Goodreau also sharpened him into a remorseless anticommunist death-dealer. Eventually, McClung fell in with Marty Rhymer, a CIA wire-man, and Gabe Margolis, a boorish Mossad commando, who together had formed Amida Ltd., later a CIA secret business whose cover was selling weapons, uniforms and support gear to California law enforcement agencies but which quickly became a feast of international arms dealing. McClung refined a new Diplomat poison- tipped pen-gun, and, with his deadly book-gun (a copy of The Book of the Dead that fired bullets) and always accurate laser rifle, etc., etc. (diagrams for many of the weapons are given), became the company's chief inventor of killer ``toys.'' Then Ibriham Haddad, fat and perfumed king of arms dealers, invaded Amida and took it over, adding his own poison to Amida's already irredeemably corrupt juices. When Amida set up McClung to be assassinated, he hid out in the wilds for three years and abandoned dealing death downward from the top of the food chain. The rotten underbelly of US Intelligence, grippingly sliced open. Film rights sold. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

From Publishers Weekly
Fresh out of high school, McClung in the mid-1970s went to work for a small firm in California's Silicon Valley designing such items as a pen-gun, a laser-sighted rifle, an exploding ashtray and a high-tech thumbscrew, all for sale in the international arms market. He was shocked to learn that the company was run by "crass profiteers and mean-spirited opportunists" whose business dealings were often illegal. Later he discovered that they were thinking of having him murdered, fearful that he was going to blow the whistle on them. McClung went into hiding, camping out in the Sierra Nevada for a couple of years. He now produces custom-made guns and knives "somewhere in central California." Basically this is an entertaining tale about a precocious young man who got involved in a sleazy fly-by-night business that may or may not have been backed by the CIA. Rivele is coauthor of Lieutenant Ramsey's War . 50,000 first printing; $75,000 ad/promo; movie rights to Paul Mas lan sky.

From Library Journal
Readers of this book should ignore coauthor Rivele's overly dramatic prose and concentrate on the story of a mentally gifted child (McClung) being manipulated and groomed by the CIA in the 1960s. Enrolled in an experimental educational program at the age of seven, McClung grew up to be a special weapons expert and was involved in several secret operations in the 1970s and 1980s before a falling out with his superiors. However, the interweaving of a parallel story of his CIA "handlers" before they met McClung is confusing. Actually, this book is more of an interesting tale of secret missions in Asia and Latin America, along with a description of how to conduct clandestine activities through "front" companies, than a straight account of McClung's adventures. Recommended for espionage collections in public libraries.

It will probably be answered by others. Folks well "in the know" over at SOCNET are investigating.
 
SOCNET will make a POST later this afternoon.

MANY on here are SIMPLY misinformed.

You ONLY know the side of the story you have heard.

Your information regarding Darryl Bolke is COMPLETELY INACCURATE, You would do better "staying in your lane" rather than talking about something you in reality know nothing about. But I understand your NEED to exercise your 1 st ammendment rights (just as it is mine to do the same)

HINT, He has issues and problems w/ IA @ Ontario PD NOT just from this issue.

Unfortunately you have been deceived by your amigos. Those are YOUR issues to deal with.

Some have seen the evidence. It is CONCLUSIVE. Some more is forthcoming ONLY to stop the evasive and obfuscative answers.

I have seen the evidence and been in communication with MANY Military personnel.

You would be surprised at the response and support by MANY military personnel (active and retired) and you would be surprised at the corruption and attempts to cover it up as well.

At the end of ther day many of you really would do better choosing your friends better. The quality of the people I have met through this has been wonderful. Thank goodness there are some ETHICAL, Morally Upright, DECENT people out there still.


==========================================================


It is ALL right here again:

It's BEEN posted many times BUT in ESSENCE this is the TRUE reality of it all. SUMS it up quite SUCCINCTLY.

http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies365.htm

"What worries me the most about Duane is if he is teaching snipers now. But then a little more thought will quail that worry because he must have gained experience somehow. There is oversight on all training programs in the Corps. If he were no good or even marginal in his training he would not be able to continue. Are you sure he is doing this?


He must be lying about his service to further his business adventures just like a politician lies to further their political career. I’m sure it is hurtful to those Marines who truly completed Scout Sniper School . But in truth he truly was a Marine and he has inflated, “lied”, to gain Fortune for him and his family if he has one. If he had only remembered two simple words, “Semper Fidelis”, he wouldn’t be facing this mess. Maybe that’s the reason for the Dwyer name, maybe he didn’t want to shame Duane Poland , the true, simple Marine that did very well in the capacity of which he was ordered to serve.

I think you can tell by the tone of this letter the whole thing does sadden me, as some who knew and even liked the true Sgt. Duane Poland , 59XX, USMC.

Do you have a contact number for him? I will call him and ask him to confess."

==========================================================

This is the TRUTH. Right from his fellow Marine whom served with him.

What's SAD is the people's reputations, energy wasted by THEM supporting a FRAUD who is lieing.


It REALLY is that simple....

Keep in mind he has been confronted straight out and he continues to manipulate, deny, make more lies in doing so, destroy friendships, relationships etc all OVER his deceit/GREED. Like it or not agree with it or not it is the TRUTH and FACTS as they are.

==========================================================

Meanwhile back to the condescending diatribes, insults, redicule, obfuscating, prevaricating, pedantic comments to follow.

BATTER UP !
 
So one more time Lance, are you going to question DD about this matter at the Shot show?? You said you were going to be there. Right!!
 
DD's Posts..............
Look in the archives and search using his name. On BFC alone you will find quite a few posts making it appear as if DD, the USMC Sniper is giving the info.
After you read it here, let me know if you still have some questions and I will find you some more.

When I refer to DD it is DUANE DWYER, make no mistake about it. If you believe DD has not made it seem like he is what others said he was then you are near sighted at best and blind at worst.

If it turns out he was a USMC Scout Sniper the info he gave is good, if it turns out he is not the info he gave sucks even if it was "good" There are quite a few Like:

FROM 2002

Hey.
OK. Here we go.
A Remington in an AICS will take more abuse than a Remington (H&S Precision) set-up will, however, the strength ot the AI rifle lies in the whole package. It is a flat bottom receiver with an integral lug rather than a two piece configuration. It is bolted and epoxied onto the chassis and all the surfaces mate 100%. With the Remington setup, far less surface area ia available and there are still onle the original two attaching fasteners. Now with all that said if you are and individual who does not need that kind of durability, you can easily match and exceed (as TacOps has managed) the accuracy utilizing a Remington action. Bottom line ... two great systems with simalar but different applications.

Mr. Tom B,
This is a difinitive statement:
"Slamming a rifle on the ground and haveing it hold it's zero really doesn't mean much as far as the rifle itself is concerned."
And in this case, it's wrong.
It means a lot as far as the rifle is concerned. AI makes the base and rings.
Accuracy International's mount system utilizes three hexhead cap screws on a machined one piece base with integral rings. There are no #6 screws, there are no #8 screws, there are no throw levers. Just four cap screws that don't require a torque wrench holding the base onto a milled receiver. Rock Solid. I know Vince well and he is more than qualified to make the statement he made. He is well known and VERY accomplished in the Sniper Community where he currently teaches on of the more advanced courses in the world today. As far as his tact and diplomacy, well, if your email adx. would have been present, I'm sure he would have emailed you directly. Hopefully I have answered your scope question. Hang in there and enjoy our forum.

Mr. Wesley,
Get in touch with me via email and I will give you some great price quotes!

Mr. Hondo,
The competitve shooting world is in many groups. Mainly two, one is based on time/score. And the other, on pure accuracy. 300WM has long left the accuracy shooting due to the difficulty of headspacing a belted cartridge. 338Lapua on the other hand, is gaining popularity in the long range group. With a cavernous case capacity and a 300 grain projectile with a BC of better than .760 it is doing very well. Let me know if you want a price sheet sent to you.

Finally, I think both are great pieces of gear. But I think we are all leaving something out here. I am a die hard pre 64 Mod 70 guy. Am I the only old guy on this forum!?!

Luke, I think I met you years ago in Charlestown, NH.

Either way (if that was not you) there is no doubt whatsoever you have never been a marine just a Die hard Strider Supporter.

I can't get to the search area due to me being a non-paying member. But the the stuff that you posted (Yes I see he did post some, much to my amazement) does not one time mention him as a sniper. He does in fact compete in shooting contests and from what I hear is pretty damn good. So I figure he is more than capable of giving advice on that matter. Agree??

Wolfman,
This was brought up before, there is nothing in there about him being a sniper or USMC. If you look at the start of the thread he states he is repping for those companys. Call the companies involved and see if he was actually a rep for them during that time?

Lance,
People can't stay in there lane with your constant weaving and swearving. Hell if you are so in the know either :

PUT UP OR STFU!!!
​
You have posted reams of shit about yourself, yet it was all self typed. Whats the matter, can't you scan the actual letters with their signitures on them or better yet have them post here. All your pretty words are doing nothing but detracting what this thread was supposed to be about. It isn't about Mick or DB or SKI, it is about weather Duane Dwyer is in fact Poland, and was he ever a Marine Sniper.

Can you answer this with difinative proof? If so do it and end this. If not leave it alone till Socnet or some other UNBIASED agency can put it to rest.​

Acknowledges DD knew all about the claim he was a hero. There are others, buy a membership

I cannot post entire threads, use the search yourself. You miss the point' eeverywhere one turned during this time frame you read about DD being a SCOUT SNIPER with an impressive kill count and then low and behold he is writing posts on Optics, rifles and calibers and even references the Scount Sniper Long shot record.
 
Oh and PS, I am not BIASED but you sure are.

I just want the truth.

What do you want....................
 
Wolfmann601, did you also notice in that thread that Lance was praising the hell out of DB, now in this thread he is berating the hell out of him. Strange huh??

By the way, I got a red demerit from Spark for calling Bubbanumber1 and idiot. Wonder if he will give you one for calling Micky a MORON?? Oh, and he also called him an idiot. What about it Spark, huh, huh??
