I have, among others, a Taurus mdl. 617. It is the 7 shot, .357, 2", blued model. Unfired and uncarried with box and everything that comes with it. I have had it for a number of years sitting in my safe. I have been thinking about selling it as it is excess to any of my needs. Problem is...
CLOSED.......Looking for a threaded barrel .22 to host my approved can. I have a couple of .22's but none threaded. Have a Ruger Target Model 22/45 4" w/carbon fiber frame and a Ruger 22/45 4" w/fluted barrel as trade or partial trade depending on the deal. Threads 1/2x28, needless to say.

1971. Jungle Warfare Training Center, Panama Canal Zone. Night compass course - nothing but swamp (area approx 2 miles x 5.5 miles). 0 dark 30. 6 man patrol sits down to rest in middle of area - tired beyond description. PFC lays M16 down while resting. Gets up, conveniently "forgets"...

"The California state Senate voted 28-8 Wednesday to exempt itself from the pointless gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the populace. Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal...
No, not Lee. I don't want to leave out the reservists who pay their dues. There is a 4th Marine Division which is the active reserve component of our Corps. Additionally, the 5th Marine Division and the 6th Marine Division (MarDivs) exist in a deactivated status.
3/5 refers to the Third Battalion of the Fifth Marine Regiment. There are four infantry companies in battalion, three battalions in an infantry regiment and three regiments in a division. The Marine Corps (normally) has three divisions. In the old days, the 1st, 5th and 7th Marines (Marine...
