Marine History in 18 Rifles

[Talyn]

With the Marines’ 250th birthday last week, a presentation by Sgt. James Stanfield, Headquarters Marine Corps, working in conjunction with Jonathan Bernstein, the Arms & Armor Curator at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia, is really outstanding.

The in-depth article covers each of the Corps’ rifles in turn, everything from the Sea Service Brown Bess carried by the “Tun Tavern” Continental Marines to the assorted Springfields, and then to the U.S. Model 1895 Winchester-Lee straight-pull rifle, before moving on to more modern arms like the M1903, M1 Garand, M14, M16A1/A2/A4, M4A1, and today’s HK M27.

If Dems had their way, we’d go back to the arms on the left.
