    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Good find, and completely agree with his assessment of the root causes. What I like about Mearsheimer is that is a cynical and hard-edged realist in every sense of the word, and his particular brand of realism (Offensive Realism) is compelling. Like this so much I read it twice: I'd like to...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Call it what you want. Looking more and more accurate. Now the human interest and heroism stories flying around the media, you can take those with a barrel of salt.

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    Will agree with this. What it seems like has happened so far: 1. Russia attempts (in retrospect) bizarre long shot consisting of: - Initial PGM strike campaign to neutralize Ukrainian IAD, degrade military facilities, disrupt troop movement - Three "fronts" consisting of multiple axes of...

    Hey retro guys, help me out RE; Colt 723/XM177

    Found this upper a while back when planning to start a 633 project build. Any idea on the forge codes? Searching seems to return either "Diemaco Kaiser" or Bushmaster. Definitely not the styled D from Diemaco M4 uppers.

    Freezing rifle test - Garand Thumb

    Great posts from LRRPF, as usual Not surprising; M1A has more exposed moving parts and opportunities for stuff to get in that just about anything else tested. Anecdotal as I do not have any cold weather experience with the M14, but the EBRs were finicky in dust. Some of that could probably...

    Criterion CORE Barrel Accuracy Evaluation

    Mine was chattery with a rough throat and significant gas port burr, as well as some other odd machining artifacts. It made significant copper fouling for the first 100 or so rounds but settled in to shoot well enough.

    Movie Theater "The Soviet Role in World War II - Antony Beevor"

    While I normally agree with your (excellent) posts, I've always understood that while the soviets had a lot of artillery, their employment was kind of "First World War-ish." I'd argue that of all the powers, the United States Army had the best artillery arm, from how forward observers were...

    Movie Theater "The Soviet Role in World War II - Antony Beevor"

    By no air support, you mean the most concentrated single-day ground attack operation the luftwaffe put up? Operation Bodenplatte ... after which, they were then spent. I guess, it was technically an air superiority bid (in support of the ground forces).

    Advice needs: 12.5, 14.5, 16

    Best “one gun” is a high quality medium contour pinned 14.5”. No stamps or braces, no 5320.20s if you live near a state line…. If NFA did not exist, 11.5 all day.
