Letter Re: Advice on Rifle Stock Pouches
Mr. Rawles: In television news footage and magazine articles about U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, I often see soldiers with nylon pouches attached to their rifle [butt]stocks. They seem to hold extra magazines. That seems pretty handy, so you always have a spare magazine, even if you get separated from your “Deuce” [web] gear. Do you recommend doing this? If so, what sort of pouch do you suggest for my M1A and AR-15? I also have several bolt actions, but only one of mine takes [detachable] magazines, and only four rounders are available for it.

And are you storing quantities like this or do you use a different system? I am getting ready to make some large purchases …

Letter Re: Survival Sewing, by “Springmtd”
A sewing machine is a critical item in my household that has saved me thousands of dollars in gear I would otherwise have had to buy. Sewing actually provided me higher performance customized gear that simply wasn’t available unless I made it myself. In normal times it makes more sense economically to buy most clothing since it is readily available inexpensively or second hand.

It could be necessary to rely on home sewing to provide almost everything that is …

Alphie mentioned that GlobalSecurity.org hosts an online edition of the US Army’s FM 23-10 Sniper Training o o o I just heard that a new, expanded version of the promotional trailer for the “I Am Legend” feature film is now available. It looks scary and a bit OTT. But hopefully one result of this movie’s release will be that it’ll get some people thinking about the implications of a pandemic and hopefully get a few of them to stock up and get some training. o o o RBS flagged this one: Foreclosure filings soar in Third Quarter.
