      WTB: Sig P220 holster

      Before I order one, I thought I'd check if anyone had an extra one in their box of holsters. Right Hand, OWB, some decent level of retention, Leather or Fobus.

      NLFS: NO LONGER NEED 44mag -- Thanks for the trades

      WTS: .30-06 FMJ Greek HXP ammo

      This is the excellent, clean, reloadable, HXP (Pyrkal) M2 ball (149 gr. FMJ) ammo from the 60s and 70s. I've found it to be slightly more accurate than the Lake City M2 ball ammo in my Garand and 03-A3 rifles. Great brass for reloading. Stored in air-conditioning since purchase. I travel to...

      My Salute to Veterans, past and present

      To salute all our Veterans, past and present, at noon today, I fired a cadenced 21 rounds of LC72 .30 Carbine ammo (acquired Saturday from Doug Bowser) from my 1944 Winchester M1 Carbine. This exercise is something I try to do every Veteran's Day and Memorial Day with a Garand or Carbine...

      WTB: Plainfield M1 Carbine

      Just throwing this out there. My USGI M1 Carbines have become too valuable to drag thru the woods on the ATV or carry on the tractor, so was thinking of trying a cheap Plainfield M1 Carbine (not interested in the Universal). Should be reliable and have a nice bore. Will travel within a couple...

      With proper training, they can be very effective. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4424682/Colourised-photos-Russia-s-female-snipers-WW2.html

      M1 Garands still used by Inaugural Honor Guards

      I noted that the multi-service honor guard on the Capital steps were still using M1 Garands. Some had slings, and some did not. Knowing the paranoia of the SS, they were probably all welded shut or bolts removed. For some reason I can't manage attachments or upload a photo, so here is the link...

      CMP is running out of M1 Garands

      If you ever wanted one from the army through the CMP, better get one now. Other than refurbished rifles with aftermarket barrels costing over a $1000, the last as-issued ones are getting scarce. http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/m1-garand/

      And I used to like doing tourist stuff in New Orleans

      Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the NOLA City Council are following the example of the Taliban, who dynamited the Buddas of Bamiyan in 2001, by declaring statues representing and honoring the memories of the estimated 300,000 Confederate deaths as nuisances. Regardless of whether they were fighting...

      Old guy, new on here

      Been here about 6 months now, from the hills north of Baton Rouge. Old guy likes old S&W revolvers, old US mil surplus rifles and old army trucks - see a trend?
