They’re Here…..
Tuesday, June 29th, 2004The AIM Surplus Enfields have arrived! All 4 are Ishy (Ishapore arsonal in India) screwed FTRs (overhauled) in reasonable condition. Al have matching bolts, mags are force matched. Three have butt heel repairs that are fairly well done. Most of the metal surface is bare with some nastly black paint in the cracks (It looks [...]
West Nile spreads throughout U.S.
Sunday, June 27th, 2004Inquring minds want to know… is West Nile a biological agent unleashed on us from the “East”? Considering the history of this virus and it’s recent dramatic increase in potency and the speed with which it has invaded the US and others one has to wonder.
Anti-Environment Democrats vs Citgo Natures Reserve

Finally DSL
Friday, June 25th, 2004After 7 years on ISDN the local telco was finally able to get DSL to my little cabin in the woods.

Back to Private Screeners

Thursday, June 24th, 2004It appears Comdex 2004 is dead. Though they’re saying there will be a Comdex 2005 I’d guess the jury is actually still out. Comdex gave me my first taste of Las Vegas in all it’s splendor and I truely loved it. But I’ve not been since 1998 and it was obvious the convention was waning [...]
Massachusetts Gun Owners Sell Their Souls

But it looks like there was more to the bill and that it was at least partially supported by Massachusetts gun owners. Gun friendly provisions include extending the term of the state gun [...]
Enfield’s On The Move
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004So besides FAL’s I’m a sucker for Enfields! New additions are enroute and should grace the gallery in the coming days. As noted before I’ve been waiting (not so patiently) for these to be available for ordering. That day has finally come!!
Galyans
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004The tactics Dick’s used to run down Galyans is enough like a WalMart move for me to dislike them. But mainly because Galyans has been such a mainstay in my sporting goods needs and I do my best to keep my money inside the state. Granted the Galyans that is selling out (in all that [...]
