Alas, no pictures except those in my head. 1968 Chevy Nova. Started life as a small block 307. But with a "slight" boring, new cam, holley carb, edelbrock intake, headman headers, exhaust bypass, regeared tranny and posi rear, it could fairly fly. We thought we were getting something by bu...

Good heavens. At least we had beer. It might have been warm, and may have sat in the sun for days getting to us, but it was beer. Then again, I keep hearing how there isn't any fraternization with the indiginous female population in this war. What the heck has happened to this world? What ever happe...

Well, I've got some who are related by blood. Others by marriage. And, a third group who have been family friends so long, they are kin anyway you look at it. Truth be told, some of my unrelated aunts, uncles and cousins have been closer than those related by blood or marriage. Kin folk are those to...

DonW, you are quite correct about the original intent for the M-16. LeMay wanted to replace the old M-1 carbines the Air Force had inherited from the Army whenthey became a separate service. For base security where they can be kept cleaned and serviced, and are generally only shot on the rifle range...

Don't need to nuke DC. Just need to have those seated there read and actually follow the oath of office they took.

Darned, not what I thought when I read the title. I've had some "boat lovin'" and really like it. But back on topic, great story.

Well, tough question, but here goes. For a rifle, choosing from what I have, It would be the Springfield M1A1 Scout/Squad. In .308 Win, so it could be used for most North American "big game" (never really understood that term), and of course would be excellent for any medium to long range ...

I think you confusing versatile with being able to accessorize. There are tons of accessories for the M16/AR15 platform; my guess is that it’s the coolness factor. The military uses it….. Well then it must be good..or at least cool. You have a lot of wanna be’s … but that guy getting shot at…. Ther...

There seem to be two very different opinions on the AR platform. One either seems to love it or hate it. I wonder what the age/combat experience of the lovers as opposed to haters is? Me, I hate it. I'm an old fanny burp/Viet Nam vet. Anyone else like to fess up?

G, to each his own. And, although she never wore a bikini in a movie, for pure sexy appeal you can't beat.

Yep, Ole Blackjack, had a few ideas. Too bad they didn't work. Best we ever got in the southern islands was an uneasy stand off. Of course, the Spanish hadn't done any better down that way, and the poor Japanese just plain got their heads (literally) handed to them. The only good thing to come out o...

The proper response to each of these cues is to set your personal listening volume between "0" and "Ignore" unless you want to succumb to a solid P-Whipping. Handle it like you would if you found your dog barking at the moon. Just get another beer out of the fridge, turn on the ...

jeepnik

Again, I stress, I am not saying the AR is the best rifle for our troops, or anything like that. Just that its a very versitile weapon platform. OK? Probably the most versitile general type at this time - especially given it's modular design. As to what I personally think our troops should be issue...

jeepnik

It's a personal thing...every experience I've had with an AR type weapon has been fatally negative, so I am very prejudiced against them. To get past that chip on my shoulder, you would have to turn back time thirty six years and reissue Pete at least an AK so he could have at least had an equal ch...

I like the cheesy "B" movie monster flicks. Monster from Piedras Blancas was my favorite. Same suit as another favorite, Monster from the Black Lagoon. Then there was the Crawling Eye, Reptilicus, It Came from Beneath the Sea, etc. I love DVD all of the oldies are being put back out for le...

Springfield M1A1 Scout Squad. I do not trust the AR platform. This is basically a civilianized version of the old M-14. .308 win is a heck of a lot more effective than a .223.

It must be the water. That is until they start feeding on the local human population. Years ago I asked a S.Dakota hunter what they did with problem grizzlies & he explained the 3 S's to me. Not even then. They've been feeding on folks for a few years now, and the best they do is tell you to st...

My first love, and last love will always be Leverguns as I have many of them. I just bought my first AR a month ago. I had never shot one until then. I have got to tell you, it is FUN to shoot. I think we would have to agree the M4/M16/AR's of today are not what they were during the VN era. All you...

Yep, used one of those AR type things years ago. It did everything. Everything but fire reliably. Finally tore the care head off leaving the rest of the case in the chamber. Oh what fun. Ended that particular set to using a 1911. Are you one of the guys who checked the yes box on the govt survey fo...

Congrats. Back in the day, they called it having a "line" number. Only down side was that as soon as you got one, they heaped work on you before you were getting paid for it. And it was all of the duties that none of the other NCO's of your future rank wanted. But, in the long run, it was ...

My wife watches the show. Likes Spader. I tried. It is nothing but a platform for the liberal agenda of the cast and crew. The only conservative role is that of Shatner's, and he plays a baffoon. It is nothing more that a put down of gun owners in general, and the NRA in particular.

Technically, it's still property of the US Army.

I guess you're thinking about something like this with a longer barrel. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jeepnik/M%20O%20Pictures/HANDGUNS12-31-07-0003.jpg Use a two hand hold on the grip and it works pretty well. Lots of fun at the range. Being as it has a 3" barrel, it shoots smoke and ...

Was just getting ready to jump on the .22 lr being rimfire. It took an entire page before someone pointed it out. In fact, several selected the .22 lr. But with what has been given, I'd pick the .357 S&W. I'd like to see a nice little pump (sort of a smaller Remington 7600). With a 16" barr...

I have one word for you: Kalashnikov. He was a tinkering farmer long before he signed up for the service. But, he did design the basic weapon when he was a tanker recouperaiting from battle wounds. Bit of a grey area on him. What about Stoner. He was a Marine, and he designed the AR series. The M-1...
