The traitor Peter Arnett should be grateful that my otherwise passive wife (or any other mid-Westerner for that matter) is not in charge at the U.S. Military establishment. Else Peter would be facing a firing squad over a very straight forward case of treason. Being fired by NBC and National Geographic are likely the least […]
After an evening with the digital camera I have added a Gallery section with my recent FAL parts and accessories aquisitions. Click on the Image Gallery link at the right, then FN-FAL Parts, or click here to view without the frame.
