Re: Thinking about a change
I confess to not being here as much as I should since I retired.
It is a wonderful site, and I mainly read when I am here, since my knowledge is not up to the level of some of the guys.

Re: EZboards which turned into Yuku has become Tapatalk
I have been a member over at Parallax Bill's for years, as well as one or two other of the Yuku firearm forums.
Bill's is barely hanging on, but the other (C&R Collectors, for one) are as much as dead.

Re: Most produced firearms.
I have "a few" of the listed examples.

Re: Anybody who used to be a member years ago still out there?
I have not been as active as I should on a number of boards.

Re: Ma Deuce
Carlos Hathcock actually did that in Vietnam. From one of the firebases over looking the DMZ could be seen an NVA base camp on the other side. An NVA soldier routinely stood guard, out in the open each day, confident he was out of range. Carlos rigged a scope on a Browning 50, and using semi auto fi...

Re: Colt goes into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Those reasons plus Connecticut's heavy business regulation and taxation, and the excessive labor cost. Most, if not all, of the other firearm manufacturers have left for other states. I seem to remember reading when Winchester moved out in 2006 that they hadn't had a profitable year since WWII. I li...

And yes, most military retired people only get 50% of their base pay upon retirement. But most who retire after 20 years are in their early forties and will draw that for the rest of their lives, maybe another 30 or 40 years. Plus they get medical coverage for them and their spouse for the rest of ...
