Happy New Year guys! Hope 2013 is a good one, and that you partied like it was 1999! Cheers! M2

I've had no issues with mine, it's been as reliable as every other Springfield firearm I own...

Sounds like the premise for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

I take it you haven't seen Ghostbusters...

All this geek-speak makes me wonder what ever happened to Masshole? She's not been on here for nearly two months, did Rainman finally scare her away?!?

Henley-Putnam is nationally accredited, which is good enough for me. As you may or may not remember, I got my second masters from American Military University. I really liked that school but they don't offer any doctorates at the moment. I wasn't really looking to get my doctorate until I was recently contacted by someone at Henley-Putnam concerning another matter As I stated, my applying all depends on my getting sponsorship from my company. Oddly enough, most of my PhD buds actually don't recommend getting a doctorate unless I plan to move into academia at some point (which I have no plans of doing, despite being offered a job to teach after I got my first masters). However, my company might be willing to foot the bill as they did with my second grad degree as it would serve their interests as well as mine. Thanks for the Colorado Tech link, it's interesting but the Henley-Putnam program better suits my professional needs at the moment. If I hear any more about it, I'll let you know. Cheers! M2

Does anyone have any experience with Henley-Putnam University? They offer a doctorate in Strategic Security that I might be interested in if I can get my company to pony up the $36K but to be honest I don't know much about them. From what I've found, they seem similar to American Military University, where I got my second masters from. They are also a participating university in the AU Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU-ABC). They also seem to get pretty good reviews (9.5/10 with 34 reviews), but I would like to hear from anyone who has firsthand experience with them, or even secondhand if they original source is reliable... Cheers! M2

There's two sides to the panic buy, read this great synopsis of what Feinstein proposes and you will understand what has got a lot of gun owners spooked. It's not only a proposed national firearms registry, but also a ban on selling any weapons listed in the ban. That could seriously undercut the value of a lot of guns, you don't know what they're worth unless someone has sold one similar. And it's not just ARs and AKs, as that article states this law could in fact ban most modern handguns and rifles! I think Feinstein won't find support for such a drastic proposal, she's gone far beyond what was initially conceived and Obama has already washed his hands of the whole affair by tossing it on Biden's lap. As Buddy Spike said, in a few weeks this horrible incident will be a distant memory in most American's goldfish-sized memories. So while my collection still lies deep in the Gulf of Mexico, I do believe it will arise one day like the phoenix from the ashes. Thank God that idiots like Feinstein actually believe the rest of the world thinks like she does, as it is that misconception that keeps the possibility of a ban actually happening to a minimum. If she actually had a brain, she wouldn't have proposed something so drastic, and could have actually stood a chance of getting it approved. With such ridiculous proposals, I do think it is doomed. If not, I am happy that all that cosmoline will keep my collection from rusting! Cheers! M2

I might even go deep sea diving in the Gulf of Mexico and retrieve all of my lost firearms...

RIP, Stormin' Norman!

Thank God there's no firearms registration in Texas, and CHL information is protected from public release by law... And yet another reason not to live in that shit hole called New York...

For some reason people still go there despite all the buffoonery that goes on, I guess that only proves you can't fix stupid. I've been once in the past few years, had a buddy in town who had a small window of opportunity to shoot so we got a private bay so he could check out some of my AKs (all of which are now lost on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico). I still vehemently hate the place and would rather not shoot at all than to risk my life on their regular ranges.

Some Yugoslav SKS and AK rifles can also fire grenades...

Tac No guns for sale at any of the BX/PX in the SA area, you have to go up to Killeen (Ft Hood) to see that and it's not worth the time or effort. Lackland has ammo, but not a lot of it and the prices are ridiculous. As for ranges, it depends on what side of town you're on. There is a nice new indoor range called Nardis that opened on the SE side of SA, I haven't shot there but I keep hearing great things about it. I shoot on Bullis but it's only open on Saturdays and Sundays. Blackhawk which is SW of SA in Atascosa is pretty cool, as is Cedar Ridge up NE of SA. Bracken is pretty strict but I've never had a problem the few times I've shot there. I've heard Bexar County Community Range out towards Sequin isn't bad, but I've not shot there. Steer clear of the Bullethole unless you are ponying up the month for a private bay. Too many idiots shoot there, it's been dangerous and I avoid the place but if you get a private bay it's better. Also stay away from Texas Thunder indoor range on Bandera Road, way overpriced and you have to buy their overpriced ammo. A Place To Shoot on the southside is also worth passing on. Lastly, Bass Pro has an indoor range but by appointment only (210 253-8800), plus you have to check your weapon in when you go through the front door and it's $10 per person for 30 minutes of range use. Hope that helps! Cheers! M2

Vol III for the Kindle out for free on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Green-Beret-III-Asian-American/dp/1477405755/ref=la_B006H9NFMI_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1356330635&sr=1-2

Anything instead of turning it into the police! It's like the DDR programs we had in Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands of historical weapons were turned in and destroyed. It's idiotic. It has value if only because it is almost as old as I am! Cheers! M2

Why is he turning it into the police? Why doesn't he just give it to his son-in-law, or sell it to someone looking for a decent shottie? Hell, if he's willing to just let it be destroyed, I will take it off his hands just to save it from that fate. There's no reason to just throw it away unless for some reason it is not safe to shoot and/or cannot be repaired...

Hell, I had that happen to me long before the ban scare! Some bozo out near Bastrop had a milled Bulgarian AK for sale at a great price. After having the deal all set up, the morning I was getting ready to drive out there he goes NORDO on me. Never did reply to my emails, texts and phone calls. Then earlier this year I had someone ask me the price on a Russian milled kit they had. I gave them an honest answer (and others confirmed it) and they said I could have first dibs on it if they decided to sell it. Later they did offer it to me, and I was going to drop by their house but he said they had a sleeping baby and asked if I could come by the next morning. Then late that night the asshole sends me a text saying he got a better offer. So these douchebags have existed long before this recent panic, it's just events like this bring them out of the woodwork... Thank God I no longer have any guns or ammo to worry about! Cheers! M2

Not that I need any more ammo, 'cause all my guns fell out of our boat in the Gulf of Mexico; but if anyone needs some 7.62x39 at a decent price, Brownell's has Wolf for $52.99 for 200 rounds (so 26.5¢ per round). Here's the deal. https://www.slickguns...hipping-over-99 Order here: https://www.brownells...040-113733.aspx With free shipping on orders over $99 (use Coupon Code: DSR) Actually, I just found an even better deal from The Sportsmans Guide... https://www.slickguns...j-1000rds-21997 Just as a comparison, AmmoEngine's cheapest ammo of the same caliber is the same stuff for 55¢ a round... Cheers! M2

I feel so much safer now that all those nasty "assault rifles" are no longer around...

Time for a Golden Eagle Ban! Where's Obama to protect us?!?

I ain't got no guns, lost 'em all during a tragic boating accident in the Gulf of Mexico a few weeks back. It was horrible, all those beautiful firearms fell into the water and sank to unreachable depths. Oh, and all of my ammo as well! Cheers! M2

Box lunches are gonna kick your ass!

They already jacked up prices after the election last month, their well-known opportunists and I find it hilarious that they just became a sponsor over on the AK Forum... For example... https://www.cheaperth...roduct/AMM-223C Lake City Bulk 5.56 @ $900.00 (now $699) per 1000 Fuck 'em!
