FINALLY A GUN FOR LIBERALS

They're coming out with a new pistol in honor of Obama. It will be named the “Union Worker”.

It doesn’t work and you can’t fire it.

FINALLY, SOME HONEST IN BIG BUCK HUNTING STORIES

MY FAITH IN INTERNET STORIES HAS BEEN RESTORED.

Here's a picture of the new world record whitetail.

It was taken by the cousin of a co-worker's sister's, uncle's, best friend's, son-in-law's, niece's hairdresser's, neighbor's ex-boyfriend's oldest nephew. Reportedly it will score 2603-1/8 by B&C standard and was shot in West Texas on a really windy day, 85 degrees downhill, around a curve at 900 yards with a 22 mag.

Supposedly, this deer had killed a Brahma bull, two Land Rovers and six Jehovah's Witnesses in the last two weeks alone. They said it was winning a fight with Bigfoot when it was shot. It had also been confirmed that the buck had been seen drinking discharge water from a nuclear power plant.

This has been checked on Snopes who confirmed it. Honest!!!

FIELD-STRIPPING YOUR 1911

Everybody who owns and operates an M1911 should know and understand how to strip it down to it's basic groups:







This is as far as I go in the field. I can disassemble further, of course; the firing pin / extractor group, mainspring group, and trigger group - but this is not necessary for daily cleaning, or basic problem solving.

Yesterday, a question came up, so I took the opportunity to create a post and share the knowledge with all:


The 1911 is my favorite of all handguns - my question is how to disassemble the mags for cleaning. I have some original Colt mags that I have no idea how to remove the floor plates. Can't find any cathes, latches or buttons. I haven't had any success with simply trying to slide it open, either; this will surely damage it.


ANSWER:

"Original" Colt mags have their floorplates welded to the tube.


Yes, that's a six round magazine - I carry a compact Model 1911 - S.L.


Stick a few rounds into the magazine, and then run a pin through the holes in the magazine tube to hold the spring down.





Remove the rounds and the follower should fall out the top too. Carefully remove the pin, and the spring will come free:








The spring and follower will come out now. Re-assembly's the reverse - about the only zinger is to watch the orientation of the spring v.s. the follower.




Use a tool like I did to drive the spring back down so you can pin it when trying to re-assemble the magazine, and then just drop the follower in and release the pin.

Remember: There are no stupid questions, only the ones which are never asked.



"Oh yeah? Well if that's the case, how come the Professor can make a radio out of a coconut, but can't he fix a hole in a boat?"

Let me re-phrase that. Sometimes there ARE stupid questions, but questions about guns, gun safety, and marksmanshp do not fall into that category.

NEW MEXICO MOTORCYCLE SEAT

Thanks to Team member Chas down there on the border for sending this in. - S.L.

GI-NORMOUS DRUG BUST

This material comes from Chaz, a Charter Member of Team STORMBRINGER, who dwells down there by the Rio Grande:


Home of a Mexican Drug Lord being Raided.


Yes, That IS cash piled on that table in the background!



Just a small collection of guns - these people are not really dangerous at all . . .



Yes, that is real gold on these guns!



Gold and Titanium 45 Caliber semi automatic pistols - they found 16 like this.



Go and kill in the name of the Lord my son! There was a matched pair of these found.



.357 Magnum semi-automatic with solid gold grips.



This guy had a better gun collection that most legitimate museums do.



Just a quaint little villa in the hills - Drug money bought it all!



Man-made cave and hot tub inside the home.



A collection of exotic animals - which were cared for in the grandest fashion, by the way.



7 Lions were on the property.



A very rare Tiger.



The back yard pool.



Exotic art collection - some of which was illegal to own - some stolen.



They just burned it all down!



More guns than you could ever imagine!



This pile of cash before it was counted was estimated to be approximately 18 million dollars!

After it was counted it turned out to be a little MORE than 22 MILLION DOLLARS!


From another angle.




Guns were hidden all over the house along with ample Ammo just in case of trouble.


Stacks of cash were found in every nook and cranny.


This case is filled with 100 dollar Bills estimated to be 1/2 a million dollars - no doubt headed out to make another drug buy perhaps from the Columbians.



18 plastic bins filled with 100 dollar bills were found.



Another cabinet stacked tight with cash - all 100's.



More 100's.



Each of these stacks of 100's holds $250,000 (a quarter of a million dollars)!



They also had millions in Colombian money and Mexican Pesos, although they preferred American dollars for the most part.

There were even some stacks of Chinese Yuan found in one closet.





More Gold machine guns and pistols - most were never fired, just held for collection value.





The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the U.S.A. for 12 years! There are believed to be approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone not to mention the ones in other countries who are enriching themselves in the drug trade. These people have so much money, they make the Arab oil sheiks look like welfare recipients.



CHAZ sez:

Sean - You wonder why I feel antsy down here? Everywhere I go I am carrying cocked & locked.

no f*ckin way you can call this a racist attitude.



S.L.: This will make an AWESOME POST - any details (who/what/where/when/why or how many) about this raid?



CHAZ: Sean, sorry, no details. This has been out for a while and I didn't see it attributed to any source. It's not faked up but I don't know how it could be verified with sources.

I don't think anyone would call "BRAVO SIERRA" on this but I understand your desire to present verified info. Tell 'em a pal sent it to you, he lives down on the border and the article has been floating around for a while.


(Later, CHAZ writes):

Sean, more digging, found Snopes verified the story but also seems some of the pictures in the mix are from a raid by Colombian Policia and Marina, or by Mex authorities against Colombian dealers.

Origin obscured, here are some links that contain the pix and text:


All I have to say is with enough money you can fund your own army, buy all the swimming pools you need, make some small donations to the Democratic Party, kill anyone who gets in your way and live big, at least for a while. This stuff barely gets publicized - if at all - down here in Mexifornia and Azatlan.

WHY SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST CRIME RATE IN THE WORLD

ARMY SNIPERS GO TO .300 WIN MAG

U.S. Army 2009 solicitation for a M24 reconfiguration




The U.S. Army put out a solicitation in May 2009 for reconfiguring M24 Sniper Weapon Systems currently available in Army inventory consisting of a:

* Rebarreling/rechambering the SWS's barrel optimized to accommodate Mk 248 (DODIC A191) .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition.

* Replacement of existing weaver rails with a MIL-STD-1913 rail capable of accommodating both a day optic and in-line forward mounted, AN/PVS-26 (NSN 5855-01-538-8121) image intensified (I2) night vision device.

* Reconfiguring the stock with a stock that incorporates a detachable box magazine, adjustable comb and length of pull.

* Addition of a detachable sound suppressor as well as any necessary barrel modifications required for a sound suppressor interface.

* Replacement of the existing day optic sight (DOS) and rings with an Army specified variable power day optic and compatible rings.



. . . about time they got on the program . . .

The U.S. Sniper's More Accurate, Quieter Rifle

Army Snipers in Afghanistan will receive an improved rifle this fall.
By Roxana Tiron

For snipers, every war is different. Recognizing the differences between conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army is now selecting a contractor to upgrade the 22-year-old Remington bolt-action rifle to become a more effective killing machine. The Army will pour about $5.6 million into upgrades to the M24, with the new gear expected to be delivered to troops by this fall. The M24's barrel is being modified to shoot heavier .300 Winchester Magnum rounds, instead of the 7.62mm NATO ammunition, which should extend the rifle's maximum effective range by hundreds of yards to a maximum of about 1400 yards. The suppressor will reduce the noise and flash of the gun so snipers can stay in their hiding positions much longer after they fire.

This is interesting on so many different levels.


U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes

Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.

Trijicon of Wixom, Michigan, confirmed that it adds the Biblical codes to the sights sold to the U.S. military. The company says the practice began under the company founder, Glyn Bindon, a devout Christian from South Africa who was killed in a 2003 plane crash. The company's vision is described on its web site as, "Guided by our values, we endeavor to have our products used wherever precision aiming solutions are required to protect individual freedom."


THE TYPICAL LIBERAL KNEE JERK REACTION:

"It's wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws," said Michael Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group that seeks to preserve the separation of church and state in the military.


I don't see how. Where does it say in the Constitution that I can't write Scripture on gun parts that I sell to the government? I'm allowed to put anything I want on a product I produce, unless the government contract specifies otherwise - which in this case I think they soon will if they haven't done so already.



One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is a reference to 2 Corinthians 4:6, "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."



Another marking on the gun sights is JN8:12, reference to John 8:12, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."



'FIREARMS OF JESUS CHRIST'

"It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they're being shot by Jesus rifles," Weinstein said.


That's RIGHT - and I'm sure this will be quite disturbing to a number of the GOOD Muslims who've been shooting jihadis with those scopes.

On the other hand, I'm betting a significant number of the Muslim soldiers who owe their lives to those gun sights are going to be thinking long and hard about the effectiveness of Christian technology against fanatic jihadis. This is the epitome of the "White Man's Juu-Juu" Syndrome - a common theme of Western Colonialism.

There's Nothing New Under the Sun


Ironically, the Indian Rebellion (1857-58) against the British came about because of a similar weapons-related issue.




The Rebellion, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, began as a mutiny of sepoys (Indian soldiers in British service) of the British East India Company's army. The sepoys had been issued new Enfield rifles, which required grease-coated paper cartridges. The ends of these cartridges had to be bitten off before the rifle could be loaded. A rumor spread among the sepoys that the new cartridges were greased with the fat of cows (sacred to Hindus) and/or pigs (forbidden to Muslims).




The Rebellion erupted on 10 May, 1857, in the town of Meerut; almost simultaneously other mutinies and civilian rebellions broke out in Delhi, Cawnpore, Lucknow, Jhansi and other regions. Before it was over, hundreds of thousands perished, horrific atrocities were committed by both sides in the conflict; British women and children were not spared. After the mutiny, an investigation showed that the grease did contain cow fat but not pig fat.


Serious Implications


I am a Christian, and I personally believe that we are witnessing Biblical Prophecy being played out upon the World Stage. I am also fascinated by reports of widespread conversions to Christianity amongst the Muslims of the Middle East, already reported in Blog STORMBRINGER.

I am a Christian, and I've been called a Crusader by Muslims, but I am not a fundamentalist or a fanatic. Despite what it says in that last book of the Bible, I'm really not in a hurry to have Armageddon break out on my watch.

My personal beliefs aside, the serious problem posed by the gun sight markings is that the enemy - Islamic Fundamentalist terror forces affiliated with al Qaeda - will use this issue to further inflame their Muslim audience.

The problem here is - and this is the quintessence of the issue - that this plays right into their agenda. IF al Qaeda and the rest of the Islamic Fundamentalists succeed in turning this into a religious war - THEN THEY HAVE JUST WON.

I don't know the answer to this thing; the guy being paid to make these decisions is a few pay grades higher than me. It's Obama's mess to deal with now, Bush's War or no . . .

Trijicon sights are good products, and the government will be hard-pressed to find a replacement. In the meantime, those "Jesus sights" may soon be showing up in DRMO depots, which is good news for people like me.
