Do they make a left-hand drive for us here in the states?
Rear Admiral Eugene B. Fluckey "Lucky Fluckey" was awarded the Medal of Honor and FOUR Navy Crosses! Impressive.
Could be an officer's serial number. Mine started "052*****" for a total of
eight digits. But I got commisioned in 1966. The sequence "051" on the butt
would seem more recent than when the Krags...
It would be interesting to find out how the gentleman got the medal with the green and black ribbon. It is a Serbian medal issued in 1920 to commemorate the 1915 retreat of the Serbian army through...
They were issued to every honorably discharged veteran and worn over the right pocket.
Air Force major. The lobby of the Defense Intelligence Agency displays an identical gold plated AK-47 (maybe the same one) and a Russian sniper rifle, also gold plated, that belonged to either Saddam...
The URL below is an on-line copy of Colvin and Viall's book "UNITED STATES RIFLES AND MACHINE GUNS" published in 1917. There is more detail about the manufacturing of the 03 than you ever wanted to...
I take that back. The second patch/crest is from the 304th Infantry Regiment of the 76th Division
The first patch shown is for the 76th Infantry Division which fought in Europe during WW II. I don't recognize the second one.
Towards the end of the war the U S was developing their own versions of Tallboy and Grand Slam using the British drawings and testing them with British fuzes. The U S had a model of a 44,000 pounder....
I think Winchester-Hotchkiss is correct. It's hard to see, but it looks like the distinctive magazine cutoff on the stock above the trigger guard.
The picture from Italy looks like a British or Canadian sniper with a US Model 1913 Warner & Swasey Musket Sight. And what is it mounted on? It looks a little like an 03A3!
And a Merrill carbine.
The Russians made about 400 Gatlings starting in 1870. They were known as "Gorloffs" after the Russian inspector assigned to Colt. See "The Gatling Gun Notebook" by James B. Hughes. Also note the...
When I would be a wise guy and asked my buddies who were airborne (I was the worlds biggest leg), "Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" The best reply I ever got was, "It's obvious you've...

No, I don't shoot them.
I wouldn't be too hard on the Germans. They did a great hostage rescue of a hijacked jet back in the 70s. And it was in Mogadishu to boot. I think the outfit was designated BGS 9 (Bundesgrenzenschutz...
I was there on the the Mall when MacArthur came back. I don't remember if they let schools out or if my dad just took me out of school. We went to the Mall and they had a parade and he drove by in...

Comcast does OK.
A reduction in withholding does not mean an increase in taxes. It will make a difference in the amount of your refund, or the amount you have to write a check for next April. I got a few thousand...
Mr. Beard,
How on Earth can you determine that?

She is very cool. Why can't we get politicians like her?
By the way, did you notice on the right side menu of other videos, there was one of the CBC's coverage of Obama's Canada visit? Views: 2,631...
