No way! He sure has the ethical makeup needed for politics. In an early biography he proudly relates how he and fellow body builder, Franco Columbo, had a chimney service. They would do free inspections. Then purposely damage the chimney bricks during the "inspection".

A fellow on the M4carbine forum just got one from the first batch. I think he plans to post an upcoming range report.

Great to read a good report on this stuff! ... nice view too! : )

Proly kind of nose heavy but that's okay!

Nice piece of kit!     Please let us know how easily the boron coated BCG cleans up. 

If you can try Sig vs Glock at the range before buying your mind will likely be easily swayed as to which is for you.   The biggest deal for many is the different trigger action. Many that have gotten used to the Glock feel awkward transitioning to the double/single action of the Sig. Some say the higher bore axis of the Sig makes it jump a bit more versus the Glock (never noticed it as an issue personally).   If you run across the older Sig 228 9mm see how that one fits your hand. Some have a hard time putting it back under the glass after picking 'em up.  ;)

I agree the 938 is nice! They did have to upsize it just enough that, for me, it isn't nearly as discreet for pocket holster carry.    :2cents:  For both 238 and 938, it is a good idea to look at the manual before disassembly/assembly for the first time. The ejector can be manipulated into the wrong position during disassembly if not careful. I read about it online is probably the only reason I didn't mess up. 

I've got the .38 CCI shots shells in a 2" Taurus 85. What's the practical snake range for that setup? ... 5 to 6 feet maybe? Edit: More online snooping suggests practical range is up to around 8 feet.

She was already an editorialist and reporter for the editorially conservative leaning newspaper "The Washington Times".

She " beefed up the book", so it might interest folks who are already familiar with her article series and blogging. She footnotes with references every fact and statistic she gives. I kept wondering where BO pulled his stats from other than his a*s. I didn't know they were given to him by Bloomberg's personal on-payroll "statistician". : /

Her actual snooty e-mail and his smack down reply is PRICELESS! Thanks for posting this. I'm afraid the liberal migrations are what will eventually succeed in continually "watering down" the remaining free states. But we've got to keep up the good fight to at least slow the "social cancer".

This fresh off the press book by Washington Times reporter, Emily Miller, is hard to put down. She documents her D.C. hurdles in order to exercise her 2nd Amendment right and legally acquire a firearm in Washington, D.C. The beaurocratic barriers are pathetic, sad and at times even laughable. It took her 4 months and fees of over $400 to finally "be allowed" to buy and keep a Sig 229 in her home! She does a great job of also documenting (with reference footnotes) the deceptions, lies and misrepresentations of the anti 2nd Amendment liberals. After a home invasion (due to her own poor judgement) and with zero firearm experience she starts her quest. This book will serve as a real eye opener to the folks who sit passively on the fence when it comes to protecting their inalienable rights. Maybe we can get some "fence sitters" fired up by having them read about her "adventure". Here's one reviewer's take - "Emily Miller is a Second Amendment warrior. Chapters alternate between her personal story of navigating a completely absurd bureaucratic maze to exercise an individual, fundamental right which "shall not be infringed," and a thorough analysis of the lies, ignorance, and distortion used by the left, the media, and the current administration to undermine your rights. Ms. Miller included several appendices and meticulously documented her work with references to primary sources which increases the value of this resource immensely. Ms. Miller's writing style is easy and entertaining, making for a rapid read without losing any of the substance."

At least,as of now, the CMP's program hasn't been tampered with. Their source of M1 Garands are those returned by borrower countries to the Army. They still have crates and crates of unopened, ungraded M1s. Enough to project a supply for a few short years at least from what I've read.

The best for me has turned out to be the Glock 26 Gen 3 (always a passenger on road trips). For home base, it is the Glock 30 Gen 2.5 (i.e. no light rail).

My wife is not an avid shooter. For her night stand gun she has stuck with the first firearm I ever bought. It is a S&W Model 67 "Combat Masterpiece" 4" .38 stainless revolver. It is the first generation of that revolver, circa 1972 as I recall. So she has remained old school and has confidence in that pre-lock stainless beauty.

One of the very high quality metal flip ups are by Troy Industries. Premium priced though.

Besides the extra front weight (which does not bother some), there is the issue of proprietary bolts and other parts. If only one AR, there is a big advantage to the non-proprietary bolts and springs. So many part sources! During the recent AR panic finding piston parts was a major headache for many.

Great trade for a Gen 2 Classic! No light rail! No finger grooves! Flat no-slick finish! Looks to be in great condition. Well done!

This may likely have been posted before, but this little recently rediscovered homemade film of a spontaneous parade in Honolulu (August 14, 1945) is worth watching! Audio on will add to the experience! Here is the link - http://vimeo.com/5645171

I feel old remembering ... My family's phone was a rotary dial. My paternal grandmother, who I remember in her 90s, was born in 1868, in Arkansas near the Indian Country border. Piling into the neighbor's house along with all the neighborhood kids (only TV on the block) to watch "Howdy Doodie". My first football helmet (age 6) was leather! My high school ROTC rifle was an M1. Having the milkman deliver bottled milk to our door step & buying produce off mule drawn wagons going house to house. Watching in awe at the first color TV; it just focused on a revolving rosebud (at the annual Fair). Cokes at school were in the squatty short glass bottles and cost 5 cents. Doing "Duck and Cover" drills in elementary school i.e. hiding under the old wooden & wrought iron school desk to avoid atomic bomb! ... sigh and I'm only 67!

Amen to that! First time I took a $99 Tula Arsenal import to the range, I eventually got a nice 2 round burst. The rangemaster did a "double take" also. : / Your pristine SKS is beautiful!

The fit and finish of the Miroku Winchesters is excellent plus in my opinion. Traditionalists may not care for the push button safety or the "War & Peace" printing on the barrel. I can understand that. I got over my bias and got the handy octagonal barrel Model 1892 16" Takedown in .45 Long Colt. The bluing is deep, the stock has nice Tiger stripes, the fitment is tight and the action is slick. Inherent accuracy is very good for a lever action. If one can get past the sticker shock you will wind up with a longterm keeper.

I monitored NBC on their Nightly News and not a mention. Surprise!

Priceless! Thanks for posting this. : )

The IT fellow's firing by State Attorney Corey will hopefully be her demise. I just hope that there are enough residents of the State of Florida incensed enough to rise up and demand a full and unbiased investigation of the whole travesty. The intentional removal of records and their 11th hour availability to the Defensive Team should also be great fodder for appeal (I hope, but I'm a layman not an attorney). I hope concerned citizens from the entire country bombard "officials" of this state.
