    Pickett's Charge - "They Fell Like Grain Before the Reaper"

    Not to mention that the “Right to Secession” was actually an accepted concept at the time. The “Union” was a voluntary collection of 13 sovereign nations (States). Since the joined voluntarily is was always believed they could also separate voluntarily, The first states that ever...

    14 wounded, 4 killed at thug music party in Chicago

    Ah, sure, the wee little angels….Hell’s Angels😡. Darn politicians need to be required to Live in these neighborhoods without armed guards-I’m betting good $ they’d change their little minds pretty quickly about enforcing the law…

    14 wounded, 4 killed at thug music party in Chicago

    In Chicago? Can’t be, they’re gun safe you know. So how is this different than usual activity in that cesspool?

    Pandemic Prepping Lessons: What Did We Learn?

    Methinks you’re a tad late, and Dr Fauci is anything BUT a “hero”. Let’s see, use OUR tax dollars to pay a nation that opposes us in every way to develop a biological agent that kills hundreds of thousands, then push a “vaccine” with unknown side effects and without evidence of it’s efficacy...

    What Really Went Wrong With the M16 in Vietnam

    Gotta wonder about the whiz kid that made that determination.

    medicines and LTC or other licenses

    I think I’d talk to your Doc, ask “Why and for what”. See if there’s not a less intrusive alternative.

    Two of Remington's biggest failures...

    True, but then the AR wasn’t a Colt either (ARmalite😏) but Colt built an awful lot of them for military and civilian market. I really don’t care who makes a firearm. A good design with quality manufacturing will be a decent produce. Poor QC and doesn’t matter how good the design, the gun...

    What Really Went Wrong With the M16 in Vietnam

    That plus using the correct type of powder made the AR quite reliable. The powder used in initial testing worked great. The stuff the military switched to… not so much. Once they went back to the stuff Stoner intended to use, problem basically resolved.

    What Really Went Wrong With the M16 in Vietnam

    I read a good history of the US Ordinance a few years ago. Amazing stuff. Like “during the Civil War ALL Union troops could have been equipped with lever action repeaters (Henry and Spencer) before the end of 1863-didn’t happen because those in charge said they’d “waste” ammunition”🙄. Like...

    What Really Went Wrong With the M16 in Vietnam

    Ya didn’t need one ‘cause the weapon was so clean running🙄

    What Really Went Wrong With the M16 in Vietnam

    Here though they took a fundamentally sound design, then specified a different powder type than the designer had intended, resulting in much more dirt/crud ( which on this design is blown directly into the action)in the weapon. You compound this by not initially issuing cleaning gear ...

    1911 TRP cycling problems

    Be careful shorting your brass. Trying to stuff a large primer into a small pocket can be “exciting 😳)

    Anderson Manufacturing: Done

    Hate to see any mfr. go out of business. That said, there are about a zillion folks making AR’s and demand has dropped considerably in the last couple years (at least around here)-something called market saturation. Don’t get me wrong, folks are still buying them , but now it’s their second...

    Bersa gets in the 2011 game…made in the USA.

    TSA Precheck

    That was my experience the last few years I worked. Some places you buzzed right through, at others the pre check line was sometimes longer/slower than regular. Encountered that at Nashville 1/2 the time.

    TSA Precheck

    I used to fly multiple times a month, so I went Pre-Check. Worked pretty well initially. Later it slowed a fair bit as a LOT of folks started using it. I let mine lapse after I retired. Some airports are still pretty fast, but some will not make a lot of difference. If I was still...

    Federal’s Personal Defense HST 44 Magnum

    A .44 just fits a unique niche. I’ve shot ‘em for a lot of years. One time I CC’d a 4 5/8” SBH for a couple weeks just to see if I could. I do have a 69 Smith that conceals well in a pancake under a T shirt. Not EDC, but when hiking in the toolies, esp in the Rockies, yeah, not a bad...

    1911 TRP cycling problems

    Scrub it good. Check that feed ramp, be sure it’s clean and smooth. Lube it pretty heasy. Take a marker and # your magazines. Any issue, record the mag number involved. A funky magazine will definitely cause feed problems

    Double ditto. Guys placing their lives on the line to fight a fire and some A—hole shoots at ‘em? Time for a fair trial and a speedy hanging.
