Here’s what’s going on. Last Tuesday I got a twinge of pain in my left knee. Wednesday morning, that knee was swollen and causing me huge amounts of acute pain. It’s only gotten worse. This morning I went to see the Saw Bones and he had a battery of tests done and x-rays. He drained a lot of fluid from the knee and injected Cortisone into it… a lot of Cortisone. I don’t think I’ll need surgery again. He also gave me a script for some serious pain meds. Right now I am without pain. That’s a beautiful thing.
Women in War
We’ve read the reports that our Woman Warriors in The Stan are being encouraged to wear scarves over their heads. We’ve read views supporting and opposing this from all directions. My take on this is a little different. The way I see it, Male or Female, they are American Warriors. We should treat all of them the same. No matter where they are. And other nations should Fear and Respect them all the same as well. Continue reading Women in War
Let me get this straight.
In Iraq, we are fighting Al-Qaeda. In Afganistan, we are fighting Al-Qaeda and Taliban. But in Libya, we are Al-Qaeda’s Air Force and our Administration wants to arm them?
While the whole time the Administration wants to disarm us and keep an eye on us because we are the ones that are the potential threat. I’m under the impression that our current administration is goofier than Keystone Cops.
Tom Selleck, good guy.
On Facebook, a “Friend” (who I don’t know from Adam) posted a link to a story about Tom Selleck. The story’s headline is misleading. Read the article and see if you come to the same conclusion that I did. Tom reacted right. He called the guy out on his poor gun safety. Some clown picks up a gun, finger on the trigger, and starts pointing it at people… Tom sees it and promptly tells him to stop. The clown probably regards Tom as a jerk and has his feelings hurt. But that’s better than this clown claiming that “The Gun just went off” as he tries to explain to a grieving family how he killed their kid/dad/mom/etc. Continue reading Tom Selleck, good guy.

Mil-Spec = Quality?
By Daniel Shaw
Anyone who has perused popular firearms related forums has likely encountered the dreaded gun snob who seemed to know it all. A list of his or her personally approved Mil-Spec AR 15 manufacturers was likely produced at some point during the encounter. If your AR doesnt happen to be from one of those listed companies – you are ill prepared and will likely die as a result of your “jammomatic” not operating properly. In most cases, the list provided includes very reputable companies that do in fact produce high quality ARs. Does that mean they are the only companies that make quality guns of that genre? I think not. Continue reading Milspec = Quality? Guest Post by Daniel Shaw
The Ogre Edition 1911
Thanks Daniel for brining my imagination to a visual. THAT is my PERFECT 1911. I’m in love.
The Pink Sterling has been finished!
It took multiple coatings of Pink Duracoat to get it done right… but it’s now finished and ready to go. Check it out.
.308 Range Ups in MOA
I had posted this on my Facebook page… thought I would hit it here too for those guys asking about .308 stuff and for those guys getting into .308’s. This is generally what the US Marines teach their Snipers, and what I learned at LRI. You and your .308 set up might be different. But these will get you in the ball park. You will still have to get out there with your rifle, your Data Book, and a Spotter to help you, so you can find your scope’s dope at each interval… but this little road map will help you get there.
