Here ya go.

As I got older I was more amazed by the engineering it took to do things like this than the coolness. Especially back in the days of slide rules, before computer were involved. Of course the kid in me still thinks they are cool. ;)
 
Not my listing, maybe some of you guys want an entry level race car. @akmike47 would have to move the seat back a little bit.

Those were individually rewrapped in 1995. I bought 125 of them from KY Imports in 1999 and made a ton of money selling them to fanbois.

The Colt mags marked CAL .223 were Air Force mags made from 1963-1968.
And a bit more investigation reveals those pictured mags were made by UI Industries. But fanbois gonna fanboi so glad you made money.

Of the early mags (Colt, Adventureline, Universal, Simmons, Okay) I always used the Simmons in my match rifles. They seemed to work the best for mag changes. I never had a failure to feed with them and never had to pull one out of a rifle.
 
And who remembers phones before there were dials , and you told the operator to whom U wished to be connected?
I do - you just picked it up and operator came on. Our number was 49M5
 

I saw one of those, or something just like it, at a shopping center mall in NH a few years ago. Like the guy in the video sort of hinted at, I think it's for guys who want to say "Look at how big my dick is."

Signalman First Class Douglas A. Munro
The only member of the US Coast Guard to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Munro was piloting a Higgins boat during the Battle of Guadalcanal. During the battle, Munro was given orders to pick up Marines off of the beachhead and drop them off at Lunga Point. While other ship pilots were starting to retreat from heavy enemy gunfire, Munro pushed forward, retrieved the Marines off of the beach, all while providing covering fire for them.
Once successfully pulling away from the beach, Munro spotted a beached Higgins boat. Still under enemy fire, Munro maneuvered his boat into place where the Marines on board were able to attach a line between the two ships. Once the ship was freed from the shallow water Munro was struck in the base of his skull by enemy gunfire.
One of Munro’s fellow Guardsmen was able to get the two ships to Lunga Point. After the Marines were unloaded, Munro gained consciousness just long enough to ask, “Did they get off?” Munro died shortly after he was given the word that the Marines got off safely.
Happy Coast Guard Day.
