    AR-10 Origin Story

    Way back in the early 70's, I took high school Army ROTC. I was introduced to the M-14 back then. Later I joined the Army, had a very Intimate relationship with the M-16a1 for years. Few years back, I saw the AR-10. Needless to say that brought back memories. So I got the St. Victor AR-10.

    This is really true because I will be out and about, seeing people with headphones on, head down while looking at the phone while walking alone. I guess that statement about 98% of the population are sheep.

    Red Armor: The T-34/85 in the Korean War

    The most that I did for my AR-10 and AR-15 was add fiber optic sights. I have the flashlight mounted to each, and the 10 has a nice scope while the 15 has a small scope on the hand carrying rear sight handle. I wonder where that tale of jamming came from if the magazine is resting on the...

    Perfect Match: Ronin & Ritchie Holsters

    I conceal carry my 1911a1 in a leather holster. I wear very large, loose fitting tops. Since people say I look like a linebacker, it works for me. I will admit it take a few times to get the belt and holster to work. But nobody notices it on my side.

    In Jr. high school, we had an after school model rocket club. I remember that some of the guys would buy this model rocket kit. It seems to have had a bulbous top. Talk about going down memory lane on this one.

    What If the M16 Rifle Never Existed?

    I will take a slight disagreement with your post. To save money (cost lives,) the military did not follow with the recommendations like the chamber being chromed. But overall, once the bloody learning curve was over, it was a solid weapon.
