Re: NATO and US Military 5.56mm cartright failing badly in war!
all of the above are correct. However killing the enemy, by concept means bringing a violent end to their activity. It does appear that the politicians dont mind our guy being kia or wia, but we cant hurt the enemy. I was never in any branch of the military, but it appears that the Marines have the ...

Re: target hammer spur for marlins
Consider this. If you are at a function at the range, you have to start with an empty chamber. You have to work the action. If a 10 round match, you will shoot till the gun is empty. If a 20 round match, empty the gun, reload, empty again. The point is, to start the shoot, you have to load the tube,...

clung to my pants leg and would not
I was at my favorite gun shop and this 1969 mod 94 jumped out of the rack and clung to my pants leg and looked at me such pleading eyes that I could not leave in the rack. Swapped an unused and not wanted ruger blackhawk and 50 bucks. near 98% needs only to be shot. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums...

and furthermore, to have a shooter like just about any good rifle, to not shoot it is to humiliate it and embaras it in front of the other guns in the safe might as well paint it pink or chartruse. A collecters piece is different, but with over 7 mllion built that will be few and far between.
