    Down to a few a month myself. When I was doing a lot of reading, it could be one a day.

    Snipers and their PDW's. WW2 and modern

    One British sniper briefly carried a suppressed Sten. Then he found out that the suppressor was burned out by another soldier and handed it back to the armourer.

    Gonna Read A Book, Which One?

    A Higher Call about the aerial encounter between Lt. Charlie Brown and Franz Stiegler. It really brought to light the questionable scores claimed by some Luftwaffe Aces of JG 27 in Africa.

    I read Senich's book decades ago. He died before his time and his wife tossed out enough material for three books. She should have had another author finish them as a cowriter and gotten herself more residual income from it.

    Joe Biden Told Barack Obama He Will Run in 2024 to Defeat Trump

    Pedo Joe can win so long as Dominion still tallys the counts. During the campaign Pedo Joe couldn't even fill a two car garage and Naughty Sunkist Man o' mean tweets was filling stadiums. Even today he's filling stadiums with his rallies.

    Food riots thread…and energy.

    Nope. Back in 2014 I met a few kids at Adventure Camp who trapped regularly The Great Reset will not go as the globalists envisioned. Instead we'll have a Great Awakening and then freedom (after some pitchforks and torches are applied). There will be some difficult years, but that's part of...

    Chuck Schumer: ‘Only Way’ To Reduce Inflation Is To ‘Raise Taxes’ & Undo Trump Tax Cuts

    Chuckie is full of fecal matter. Fed Res' brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! creates inflation. Every new dollar (electronically) created into existance (by a keystroke on the Fed's computer) correspondingly devalues all existing dollars. It's why the Fed Res Note is currency and not money.

    WW2 Russian front sniper family?

    Never heard of it myself. Non-military people with guns? It sounds like a waste of bullets and if you were a partisan/franc tireur, bullets were valuable. If it was the Soviet Union, the NKVD or SMERSH would have picked them up and given them a going over to make sure they were pro-Soviet...

    Whitworth and his tools/techniques

    Anyone in Oklahoma City should visit the 45th Infantry Division Museum, The Thunderbirds, and see the only Whitworth rifle with Confederate provenance. There's also a swivel gun off the USS Mississippi that has provenance to Admiral Dewey ("Gridley, you may fire when ready.") of Manila Bay fame.

    Lyman Alaskan scope # 4355 S

    Per Clive Law (may he RIP) 100 Lyman Alaskans were provided to Canuckistan and were mounted on their No. 4 Mk I (T). The scope mounts were based on G&H and licensed by G&H at a very low rate. G&H did this b/c it put victory ahead of profits.

    What is Reno Nevada like? (Update: Looking for a rental)

    Better NV than Californiastan. Besides, no state income tax. (y)

    Only have the e-format and waiting for hardcopy. Zaistev/Konig/Thorwald duel is unsubstantiated and while it is mentioned, its in the context of its unlikelyhood including 62nd Army Commander Chuikov's reason for supporting the alleged duel.

    What is Reno Nevada like? (Update: Looking for a rental)

    It was better when it was a gambling town. Now many of those casinos have converted their hotel rooms to apartments for California Refugees. Used to have Hot August Nights which was a great car show. Last time they tried that they had gangbangers and fights. I'd rather live in Carson City...

    Model 261 Conversion

    Conversions are interesting and useful. That said, I'd rather have a dedicated 22 LR upper. Blake Stevens discusses the 22 LR conversions and wrote that the 5.56 mm bore is .224, way oversized for the 22 LR bullet. Prolonged use results in heavy leading. Hence it is better to have a...

    100 Years ago today

    Berdan did not buy Sharps rifles for his men. With exception of California Joe/Truman Head, the Gubmint provided them.
