    Dangerous Steps: Viet Cong Booby Traps

    Thank you for your service. I grew up on the stories of Vietnam Vets and it inspired me to serve for 12 years.

    Jocko: Unmitigated Disaster

    There really should be a Senate level commission to study the things that went wrong in Afghanistan looking at both the Long-term and Short-term causes. There are lessons that need to be captured because the ramifications for pulling out of Afghanistan in such a precipitous manner are going to...

    Review: Springfield M1A Tanker

    Very nice rifle. I still dig the Scout best of the various M1A models, but the Tanker version is definitely a sexy rifle.

    Poor manufacturing or poor quality control?

    Having been issued an M14 for drill and ceremony use in the military, and now owning an M1A, I can say that removing the operating rod has always been a little difficult. It is more by design than due to bad quality. I haven't seen your weapon but I would be very surprised if the op rod...

    How to make the United States united again?

    I know lots of people who have gotten the vaccine and lots of people who have not gotten the vaccine. Of those who have not gotten the vaccine, precisely zero that I personally know made their decision for the sole purpose of exercising liberty. Everyone that I know who is hesitant to get the...

    What Is Eye Relief? How To Avoid Scope Bite

    Good article. Have been trying to teach my daughters how to get the same sight picture by placing their cheek in the same place every time they fire. So far they have only shot with iron sights, but this is something we may need to talk about.

    Kim Foxx decides not to prosecute gang shooting

    Kim Foxx is an absolutely abysmal district attorney. One the one hand I feel for the residents of Cook County who cannot count on law enforcement to protect them. On the other hand though, they have to know what they got when they elected Kim Foxx. I get that prosecutors should have the...

    How to make the United States united again?

    Here is the problem with that logic. There actually are facts in each of these situations. So just for example, take the idea that the Republicans are advocating voter suppression. The fact of the matter is that the Bills passed in Georgia and Texas, which have been deemed as efforts at voter...

    Why We Need to Encourage New Shooters to Get Training: The Sheriffs Take

    Good article. This may be a case where the new shooter "doesn't know what they don't know." Maybe designing classes so that one has to attend prerequisites to graduate to more intense instruction might be a favorable solution.

    How to make the United States united again?

    I think the example you just gave actually demonstrates that our Founding Fathers had a much keener insight when they crafted our government than we realize. This is one of the reasons we had such a strong division between Federal and State rights, biasing the power of government much more...

    I think I'm done with Cabela's

    I think a lot of mom and pop shops due to their size and the much more closely held liability would have a healthier respect for gun safety. Sorry for your bad experience.

    How to make the United States united again?

    America is different than almost any other place in the world. We are not united by ethnicity, language, religion, etc. We have always been too diverse for that. For those who think that diversity is a strength, it really isn't unless you can find common ground to rally behind. The United...

    Smith and Wesson is moving

    This is a great example that policy (especially fiscal policy) has real consequences.

    Best of luck getting any “Goods” to market .. massive cargo logjam

    The COVID lockdowns coupled with Just-In-Time logistics strategies across all markets (which is actually a good thing that normally reduces the cost of products) has resulted in supply chain problems that may last for years. When you couple that with the arbitrary increase of unemployment...

    My next gun...

    If I had to narrow down some choices: 1. Sig Sauer P365 or the Hellcat - I need to see if I can fire these and see which feels better for my grip. 2. Tikka T3X Lite chambered in either .308 or 7mm Rem Mag. Would like a lite hunting rifle for out West. 3. Mossberg 500 with barrels for Turkey...

    My Scout Squad in surplus walnut stock

    There are a few nice Scout scopes. Vortex, Leupold, Burris, and UTG all have nice scopes that are well reviewed. The UTG scope is pretty nice if you are on a budget.

    My Scout Squad in surplus walnut stock

    Very nice. Any plans for a scope? Or just sticking with the red dot? I have a Scout Scope on mine and enjoy shooting in that configuration.
