Picked up a pristine Marlin Model 60 at the fun show this morning, $125 out the door and except for a few minor marks on the stock (which I've already fixed), it looks new. I picked up a Ruger 10/22 a few months back and I can't wait to compare them. Most of what I've read is while there are more "goodies" for the Ruger, the Marlin is a better shooting rifle. The biggest difference is that it's tube-fed, and not magazined like the 10/22; but I am keeping it stock with the iron sights as most people recommend that. Range report to follow... Cheers! M2

Godspeed, Andy Griffith
I'm sure some of you youngsters may have never heard of him, but for those of us who did; he portrayed a quality long lost in today's society... For you young'uns, go out and see if you can find a copy of No Time For Sergeants (it's not on Netflix!). Godspeed Andy!

Ft. Bragg Soldier kills fellow soldier and injures self
Which only makes everyone sitting ducks in Federal facilities, as those intent on breaking the law don't give a rat's shit about "DoD policy." And, by the way, the Federal law (USC 18, Sec 930) only disallows firearms in facilities, not on base. Usually that's the commander's policy, but the US Code only doesn't allow personally-owned firearms in buildings...

Pilot watches
If my eyes weren't going bad thanks to old age, I'd keep that negative face Suunto Core; but I think the positive face version--while not as slick looking--will be a lot easier to see... "Only 1 left in stock--order soon!"

Another reason to avoid Houston... Houston Council Approves $5-Per-Head Strip Club Fee Well, that and the fact that the city has over 6,600 unprocessed evidence collection kits from sexually-based crimes. And let the jokes begin concerning the choice of words for the "head"line (STS)! Intentional? Cheers! M2

I have the Taurus PT738 TCP and it's probably the best .380 I've ever shot, but it too will be history when the XDs finally goes on sale. I also plan to part with my 9mm pistols as I prefer to have my primary and backup weapons in .45 ACP. Nothing against the 9mm or the .380 (which is just a short 9mm), I'm just old school in my beliefs that the larger the caliber, the better the wounding effect. And once the XDs becomes available I won't have a need for so many modern polymer semi-autos... Cheers! M2

Yep, that's a rare photo of Private James "Jimi" Hendrix of the 101st Airborne, playing guitar at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in 1962. That particular guitar is at the Rock n Roll Center in Seatlle. It's a purple Danelectro and was Jimi's first-ever guitar (and the one he learned how to play on). It's valued at about half a million dollars... Cheers! M2
