I was doing some web wandering and discovered that my old friend Yasha at www.WhatACountry.com has some of the now quite scarce green tip SS109 5.56 ammo available. Theirs is Australian military M855, in 900 round cans. They also have some original “new old stock” MG-42 antiaircraft (AA) tripods available for just $269 each. These make great stand up range tripods for Class 3 shooters. Mount adapters are made for a wide variety of guns. It is hard to believe that there is still NEW WWII surplus equipment floating around! – JWR o o o I would suggest everyone watch …

Dear Hugh, I had to attend a LEO meeting at the county courthouse. Waiting around between sessions, some local inner-city police there were showing me “another goofy idea” that their higher-ups were considering implementing to make locals “feel good”. Ta-Da! Enter “Alternative Ballistics”. I asked these officers: “If you ran up against an armed criminal with speed the likes of Ed McGivern or Jerry Miculek, can you mount this device in, say 1/2 second, before your adversary gets off his first shot?” (They called this thing “another ‘widow-maker’”.) Another inquiry as to: “Would you use this at your own home …

A Moral Code For The Post-Collapse World. – ShepherdFarmerGeek o o o Although there is much in the history of America’s wars with the Barbary pirates that is of direct relevance to the current global war on terrorism, one aspect seems particularly instructive to informing our understanding of contemporary affairs. Very simply put, the Barbary pirates were committed, militant Muslims who meant to do exactly what they said. Take, for example, the 1786 meeting in London of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Tripolitan ambassador to Britain. As American ambassadors to France and Britain, respectively, …

There has been an uproar on the Internet (and a significant market rush) caused by the BATFE’s proposed ban of “green tip” M855 5.56mm NATO ammunition, even though it is not truly “armor piercing”, and even though less than 1% of AR-15s are built as pistols. If you oppose this rule change, then please politely send a comment to the ATF. ATF will carefully consider all comments, as appropriate, received on or before March 16, 2015, and will give comments received after that date the same consideration if it is practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be …

Yet another Philip K. Dick novel has made it to the screen. This one is an alternate history story: The Man In The High Castle o o o SurvivalBlog Reader JBG sent in this link talking about the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission Report. It’s notable that the report references that there were over nine minutes that passed while the shooter had unhindered access to do his evil deeds. Then the report takes a tangent into left field and makes recomendations that would have had zero impact on this school shooting but certainly carry the left’s anti-gun message. Missing from the …
