      US Army Replacing the M16 Rifle.

      I agree that the m4a1 will likely be around for some time to come. I understand they wanted something with more punch, but I think they went a little too far. Personally, I'm a Grendel fan, but I guess it's Russian roots made it a non-starter.

      Bucket List's?

      I have a bucket list and while a safari is not presently on it, I'd rather be killed by an elephant than lying in a bed at the end soiling myself, lol. I've always said that I may take up skydiving when I hit 90.

      What’s the most essential gear to have during a national emergency?

      Crows. My mom cooked it for us, but she wouldn't eat it, lol.

      Alway's Carry a Gun Boys!

      I grew up hunting, camping, and roaming Honey Island Swamp back in the 70's. The WMA was there, but the refuge did not exist. From the many encounters with hogs and feral dogs, I learned not to go into the woods without a firearm. Not every place is like HI, but I don't need to learn any more...

      paid attorney's fee, estate still unresolved

      I am finishing up my second succession as an executor since 2020, and my fourth one in total. In Baton Rouge I have used, or been involved in a succession with Joe Mengis twice. I think he is the best in the Baton Rouge area. In your situation I would go and talk to him. If you just need a...

      WTS: 2022 Honda HR-V

      My son has recently deployed overseas and he'll be gone for several years. He left his car here in the States for me to sell when I have time. I have a military power of attorney for the car which has been checked by a notary and approved as useable. Here are the particulars on the car...

      Barney's Police Supply is closing??

      I grew up 5 blocks from Parish Arms so we were in there a lot despite it being a small shop.

      Barney's Police Supply is closing??

      Not to divert the thread, but I bought an SP1 from Al Tinney/Parish Arms back in the 70's. He was always welcoming to everyone.

      AI is going to make everything better

      Many of the AI experiments I have heard about were nightmarish failures. I guess this could be the thing that we finally do ourselves in with. Please don't think I'm an uneducated conspiracy theorist. I was involved in computer technology for decades. In my experience, computers can do...

      Home defense shotgun

      I love CZ anything, and a lot of quality and bang for the buck at that price.
