I was never officially on a battlefield Sir. Marine Scouts were always vigorously hunted when on mission though. Carlos was a Marine Scout I...
Long ago Sir. '72-'81. The last four years I switched to the air wing and ran an avionics shop for HMH-363 at Tustin till they threw me out for...
I've never put much faith in this stuff because I have been in a one-on-one, a couple of times in the Corps (long ago, far away land), and when...
I live in AZ Sir, and here any edged weapon is legal to carry, open or concealed. Edged weapons are considered 'tools' here, not weapons. It's a...
Not a lot. Basic combat stuff in the Corps, some more extensive training at Coronado Island. I learned a bit about butterfly knives from a...
7.62x51 ammo. Took me months to save up for these crazy prices nowadays.
I have a little Springfield XDs in 40 S&W that I have nicknamed 'the stinger'. But it drops real nice into a pocket, so I do carry it when needed.
Well, it only bruised me a bit, but a 460 Weatherby I shot years ago is a bit much for me. I don't mind a 416 Rigby, but for just shooting at the...
As the title says, I'm looking for a good quality, but not overly expensive fixed blade knife that I can either carry IWB or horizontal in the...
That's a good point to be at. :) Unfortunately, I am not at the same point, on either ammo or components. Almost didn't make it through last...
The most fun I ever had was shooting a BMG on a tripod at 29 stumps in '76 or '77. It was set up for a fam fire day, with micrometer stops on the...
When I had my PTR 91 and at the range, I always did the 'release the bolt and pull the trigger with the muzzle pointed down range', like I cleared...
And that is why I always visually and physically check the chamber before pulling the trigger to release the lockwork. Someone once told me that...
Two tours in Vietnam in the early 70s as a Marine Scout. I ate, drank, and slept with my m40 and a 1911 almost the entire time. I was in a hide...
Well I guess I should hurry up and have one then, before I'm dead. ;)
Depending on what I'm wearing, either a G22.5 in a holster, or a SA xds 40 in my pocket.
I literally just bought another 500 rounds of 7.62x51 (308) for my rifles. I have not attempted to reload rifle rounds before, but I likely...
Colorado has been turning into quite the shirthole (IMO) since the CA takeover of Boulder in the 80s. I last worked there from 2011 to 2016 and...
Bill's trying to make money. Always follow the money.
As I've said before, I like a 45 for in the house defensive situations. For carry outside the house and potential shots at longer distances, I...
