Spyderco Endura 4.

I disagree; China has a version of their rifle in 5.56, specifically to take advantage of our logistics when they capture them. An AK is fine if you need to arm a bunch of barefoot, uneducated, locals that think that weapons maintenance is sloshing it around in a puddle to get the big chunks off.

Let me see if I've got this right; we went to the M16/AR15 platform because it was lighter, easier to train people to use, and more maneuverable. We went to the 5.56 so that troops could carry more ammo without incurring a weight penalty. This formula was successful for some 30+ years. The M16...

If you look around, you will find several that can do excellent work. I personally recommend Chad Dixon of Long Rifles Inc. He is as much artist as gunsmith.

Bushnell suffered greatly in the early 2000's. The CEO was a guy that used to work for RayBan, and his idea of success was to make everything as cheaply as possible in China, and damn the QC. Example; a shipment of lower end scopes came in and promptly failed QC because the arrows on the dials...

'The 12th Man' a movie about the hunt for a Norwegian Commando in WWII. Make sure you have a blanket nearby.

I like the way you can distill a ton of information into a short video. There are those that think every video has to be an epic documentary (Cough! Nuttinfansee Cough!), and there are those that provide short videos with no content. Yours are like a sampler platter; they provide a taste of what...

I have an opportunity to buy one or the other at a bargain, and I was wondering what The Optics Brain Trust had to say.

Realistic: Anything directed by Michael Mann (Before realism was a thing, he sent James Caan to Gunsite to attend a pistol class in prep for his role in 'Thief') Unrealistic, everything in Holly wood not directed by Michael Mann before 1995.

Well, I'm a big fan of Mauser 98-action rifles. Does that count?

Is this the 49ers contingency plan when KC gets too far ahead?

'Misfire' by William Hallahan. It chronicles the adoption of every US Infantry rifle since The Revolution; a great example of the adage, "The more things change, the more they remain the same."

Waco was what happens when the desire for a larger budget overrides common sense. The ATF went on their raid (after they had been compromised) in order to make a big, splashy, headline in the hopes that it would provide credibility to their requests for more money. Instead, what it did was get...

Writing websites

This is the age of the internet. If you want to try and make a living as a writer, good luck. BUT, if you just want your words "out there", there are any number of writer's websites that allow for new writers to stretch themselves. No doubt the members of this place would be happy to read...

All Eastwood did was tell the truth. The media, led by the skank that was depicted by Olivia Wilde, destroyed that man's life with their scurrilous lies. Meanwhile, while Richard Jewell was being destroyed, scumbag Eric Rudolph was getting away.

It looks like some locally produced variation of the Gewehr M1888. Lots of those made their way to the Middle East and Africa.
