    Great Buy Goretex Surplus Parka

    PSA. About five years ago I retired a Columbia Quad Parka outer shell that I'd been wearing for almost 40 years. Over thirty years of that time we lived on a farm in the PNW. That old quad parka had seen winds to over 100MPH and deluge rainfalls. It had been patched so many times, due mostly...

    Am I being unreasonable here?

    Now that we know this is the case, I think it would be reasonable for you to provide us with the name of the maker as they will go on my list of GTG. You did the right thing by ignoring the "It's on you" posts and pursuing the matter calmly and in a reasonable manner. When you were able to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt 1911Commemorative European Theater

    Questions? Do you want a 1911A1? Would you willingly pay more than a similar non-commemorative 1911? Would you give the man $500. and receive nothing in return? There will probably be more commemoratives for sale NIB than NIB commercial sale 1911s from the same time period. You decide which...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    @Aries64 Thanks much for the response. I'll pick up one of the boxes of Black Hills 190s. I'm a little concerned that some of the currently advertised is annotated factory seconds and some not. It does not lend confidence. WTF, this whole place is about pulling the trigger :rolleyes...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    I've got a 66 I'm waiting for that will be chambered for the FGMM 190gr SMK. Haven't seen any available for some time. Has anyone tried the Black Hills that seems to have some availability? As an alternative, do you have a load that will shoot alongside the factory load?

    Straight Razors

    Durham Duplex. My father used one and his father used one. Badger-hair brushes and the shaving soap came in a wooden container with a wood lid. I used one from the early sixties until I went into the military in '67...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Here's the OG (Original Gangsta') SPR. It's had minor changes. It's in the original HS Precision stock with an aluminum bedding block. The OGs did not come with a rail and this has a 20MOA Seekins. The bottom metal on these is aluminum and I swapped out a later DBM in steel. It has a...

    K-Bars Questions For The Randall Scholars

    Pulled the trigger or whatever the equivalent is in knife parlance. #1-7, stainless, border patrol grip in brown micarta (maroon?) and it will be my new seven inch utility knife in the kitchen. The perfect fit between my six and eight inch forty five year old Wustof utilities. It's exactly...

    Optics question

    @Sean69 Which Begara .22 did you buy? What ammo have you been using? What yardage do you want to zero at (usually 50yds.)?

    K-Bars Questions For The Randall Scholars

    I'm not new to quality knives. As a matter of fact I have way to many to justify. I own customs, bench mades, special order, etc., etc. But, there is an itch I have never scratched. Back in the day, Randalls were highly regarded. I've handled a bunch but never used one enough to...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO and TT? Any testing by the military?

    Well now, there were some helpful answers. As to WTFC, I do. I realize that a solicitation by a branch of the military involves parameters that are not oriented to choosing the best piece of gear. On the other hand there are units with extensive discretionary budgets. I would have been...

    Has there been any evaluation of these two manufacturers by the military in general or by any individual units?

    I think I'll read "Charley Mike". There is a review by a guy that served under an infantry officer who he identifies as the writer of the book. I was in the 173rds AO for an extended period of time that encompasses the NCO's time. There were both the famous and infamous. It will be...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Over Under Shotgun

    Like @Charlie112 I've been watching for awhile. I would suggest, that in the price range the OP suggested there are decent new guns available but no good guns. New good guns start in the mid teens. The countries of origin for the good guns are Japan and Italy. Where the good buys lie is the...

    Are you TOO prepared?

    We've lived "in the country" for three plus decades. We're in a place where the weather can get big. In the past there have been events where there has been no power in most of the county for extended periods of time. There have also been times where we couldn't get off the farm for up to a...

    Agreed. I read it shortly after it's release ten plus years ago. Reagan had raised a red flag years before regarding the effect of EMPs and had tried to implement countermeasures. The current state of affairs makes things notably worse. Everything has chips including your refrigerator, LRF...

    SECNAV Remington Model 720

    Though the scores would b nice, a letter from one or more of the rifle team members you bested would be fantastic. I'm sure they would remembers the day all to well. Would your senior yearbook identify members of the team? Great shooting, great rifle and a fantastic story. Thank you. BTW...
