R. Lee seems like he would be a great guy and as many have said he must be. I wouldn't harp on him for any inaccuracies in the show, as I'm sure he is just reading a script. I love Lock n Load and...

I have corresponded with John in the past in regards to my HE-M marked Victory and I can tell you he is a wealth of information. His research into these guns helps many people get a little insight to...
I had a Universal that was in the 70,000 range and sold it as I got paranoid about all of the anti-Universal talk and at the time needed to move it if I wanted to upgrade to a USGI one. Maybe it was...
As a fellow owner of a Victory, I have read up on other sites, especially the S&W forum and the conclusion seems to be that you should not as they are hotter than the ammunition the gun was designed...

Thats great news!
Neat photo of the Johnson LMG.
The fact that we call the .223 cal round 5.56 mm does'nt change the fact that we were the first to implement the caliber. You are right, the 9mm Beretta is definately an example of us going along...
When they would use a rifle like that as a grave marker, would they do anything to make the rifle inoperable like remove the bolt or something? I did not know if they would be concerned with it...
I already have 480 rds at the older price coming and had been dragging my feet about ordering more when the price increase hit. I don't like the increase but It's still the best thing going. They...
