Get by with a little help from your friends Thanks to you who gave the sage advice on my S&W Model 59. All cleaned and soaking over night sprayed down with Brake-Free. It looks new for as long as it has sat idle with no TLC. Again thanks to you that took the time to answer my request for...

Digitalwarrior Best reread my comment before making a statement like you did. C.S.Powell

Combat Medic's, Navy Corpmen J.T., the most unsung hero's of any war/conflict is the Medic/Corpman, when the scream of Medic/Corpman up is made you know a house call is on the way. They are a special breed, courage beyond belief, covering a downed soldier with their own body to try and save a...
