  • Oh and I just thought this was interesting. The Texas flag borrowed directly from the Republic of West Florida's Bonnie Blue flag. It was apparently done as a sign of respect towards a previously successful insurrectio…

  • This if for my friends in Kansas. This article has been verified as true and was written by one of the key workers in securing and safeguarding the Second Amendment protections of Kansans.(Link to thread on arfcom: http…

  • Just thought this was interesting. When a new type of rifle was developed, the government of Chicago tried to ban it within the city. It then pushed the Congress to ban its use throughout the country including the mili…

  • In high school we were taught that the American Revolution was not a "true revolution like the French Revolution." I told my teacher she was wrong and I actually got in trouble. But she was and is wrong. The French Re…

  • I just found out my Mac has farsi built in. Lemme know if this comes out right:عسما مان داستین هاستام

  • After careful consideration for a few weeks now, I have made a fairly major decision. I am dropping my attempt to get into USAF JAG. I guess you can call me a "true believer" in the war on terror. I am still going to …

  • Jericho was an amazing show. I hope Scifi picks it up. Down with the ASA.

  • Got a new lens for France. 55-200mm AF-S.

  • My new upper receiver showed up today. Between classes I ran to the gun shop and gave all the parts to Robert. The feed ramps on the barrel are going to be extended to fit the M4 cuts and the flash hider still needs to…

  • "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, thatamong these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to…

  • Parce que c'est la vérité.

  • Well, I loaded my magazines and stripper clips. The old bandoleer is full. 440 rounds of 55 grain .556. 400 are the PRVI Partisan stuff. It is supposedly M193 NATO spec and very good stuff. The 20 round magazine is …

  • Upper receiver plans just changed. Apparently I'm buying a CMMG M4 upper receiver and Robert is giving me the barrel and a GI carry handle plus work and reparkerizing in exchange. Now if only I could afford an acog or …

  • Well a nice surprise today. A Bushmaster M4 Carbine barrel turned up at the shop today. It's a 14.5 inch chrome-lined barrel. Robert told me he was going to permanently attach a vortex flash hider to make it 16 inches…

  • I have so often been the fool. I have had great things handed to me in life and I have handled them poorly and lost them. There are so many things I should have done differently in my past. Friends lost to time and my…

  • Just got a deal on 400 rounds of M193 ball. That would be 5.56mm NATO. That makes me stupid happy. I haven't had more than 80 rounds or so at a time for my AR in many months. In a week or so this will actually mean s…

  • Wouldn't ya know it. First night time launch in a long time and it's cloudy. Those are pretty cool to see. Not usually the space shuttle--it's usually an AF launch, but pretty none the less.

  • You know, sometimes being an honorable guy sucks. For me "moral dilemmas" don't exist. I don't think they really exist for anyone. The right and honorable answer is always apparent. For me, then, it isn't so much as …

  • Jericho is a really good show. Are there mountains in Kansas?

  • Be true.

  • Gonna start shaving with a safety razor. It is supposed to be a lot nicer of a shave than all the disposables out there. Helps that it's tons cheaper, too. I get a bit sick of paying nine billion dollars for 27-bladed…

  • I wish I could sleep! But at least my apartment is almost completely clean! Woo!Of course, my dryer is dying. And now my washing machine is doing weird things. Ugh. I'm going to ask the leasing office to replace bot…

  • For giggles, here is a picture of the pistol in use in Iraq. The pic is unattributed, but I'm betting it's DOD as the user is a Marine.
