The last few years has seen a gathering happen. Not the Highlander kinda gathering but…well, maybe kinda…lol Thanks to facebook, I have come back into contact with Marines that I served with years ago. We had our first ‘reunion’ in the Fall of 2013. I think six of us got together with a few wives […]

Do you even AR bro? Part 4
Ok, we left off in part 3 at a complete lower receiver. I am kinda buying my parts, piece by piece, starting at the butt-stock and moving forward. I was going to get the upper receiver from Anderson Manufacturing also, being as that’s who made the lower receiver, but they were always out of stock. I guess […]
Natural causes?
The scene is set. Mid April, 1775. The British had been routed at Lexington and Concord by colonial militia. The British regulars, initially, had the upper hand against the colonists but as the engagement went on, colonists descended on the area and the British turned and made their way back towards Boston under heavy harassment.
Do you even AR bro? Part 3
Part 2 stopped at the lower receiver and the trigger group. This installment will make the lower receiver complete. Unless you want to buy each part individually, you can buy a lower parts kit containing all the little springs, detents, trigger components and such all together in a box. Now, there are many configurations on these […]
Guns at school?!?!
There is a big fuss being made over this… Legislation has passed the Texas Senate and is headed to the House for review and vote that will allow those with a Texas Concealed Handgun License to remain armed when entering buildings on college campuses.
Do you even AR bro? Part 2
As the previous post said, I am starting this build piece by piece. I began with an Anderson Manufacturing stripped lower receiver and a CMC trigger group in swap for some screen printed t-shirts to a local FFL.
Do you even AR bro?
Ok…I have stepped off into the shallow end. I can’t afford to dive off into the deep end right now…lol. Anyone who knows me at all knows I am a Marine. Once upon a time, I spent ALOT of time with this rifle platform. But boy have they changed. I was never really overly impressed […]
Righteous Rage?
I am a history buff. World War Two history in particular. I have read books and studied, with great interest, most everything I could get my hands on about this war. I saw the black and white photos of the death camps. I would look at them in disbelief that human beings could perpetrate such […]
I am NOT a homophobe…
Well, it all depends on the dictionary you use I guess. My last blog post was about word use in our society…I guess this is just a continuation.
Resolutions and Such
Our society uses words very flippantly. I am guilty of it. Shoot, look at the way I write…I write like I talk. I have heard the term ‘awesome’ used to describe the taste of an orange skittle. On more than one occasion, I have heard people (who purportedly have college degrees in journalism) say things […]
