Re: The USMC Hospital Corpsman Knife

Gunny, Are you trying to tell me that USMC on that knife stands for Marines. Since for ever I have understood that USMC stood for US Medical Corps. I remember in the early 60's seeing all kinds of equipment marked USMC in the stores selling WWII surplus equipment. In the late 60's while inventorying...

Re: Windage sight

I wonder if this might not be slide for a Ross rifle sight?

have we had this one before?

Sitting together on a train was Obama, George W. Bush, a little old lady, and a young blonde girl with large breasts. The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, Obama has a bright red hand print on his cheek. N...

Re: 1878 Martini Henry mud puppy

IMA and Atlanta Cutlery partnered up to get the weaopns our of Nepal and them split the Cache. As to price, first these kukuri's are the real deal and not repro's.
