    Shoe goo

    Re: Shoe goo Shoe Goo is simply amazing. My CO and I worked on a project for the Marine Corps over twenty years ago for the "GSAK" Ghillie Suit Accessory Kit and Shoe Goo was a must have to the kit. Not sure if the Shoe Goo ever got an NSA number assigned to it or not. The idea being Marines...

    can of worms marlin/ vs cz

    Re: can of worms marlin/ vs cz Never owned a CZ but have run my 880SQ hard with whatever ammo I could get my hands on and have been very happy with it. It easily shoots sub MOA at 50 yards and damn close to it at 100 yards minus the occasional flyer and wind gust. Over the years I have done...
