Gunsite Scout Rifle From Ruger
From Tactical Wire:
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the Ruger® Gunsite Scout Rifle, the ideal “fighting carbine” in .308 Winchester that is a credible rendition of Col. Jeff Cooper’s Scout Rifle concept. Cooper called for a relatively lightweight, hard hitting, do-all rifle that in the hands of an accomplished shooter was able to place accurate, sustained fire out to long ranges, yet was quick-handling and light enough for all-day carry.

New Light Machine Gun for Marines
Military.com reports on the introduction of the IAR (Infantry Automatic Rife) to replace the SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon).
The introduction of the M-27 is a return to the roots of the Marine infantry squad, Flynn argued, which featured an “automatic rifleman” that eventually evolved into a light machine gunner with the introduction of the SAW in the 1980s.The Corps’ adoption of the IAR has been fraught with controversy, with critics arguing the limited firepower of an M-27 — which shoots a 30-round magazine — would leave Marines vulnerable. The lead-spitting power of the M-249 and its 200-round drum helps keep bad guys in place while grunts maneuver in for the kill, skeptics argued.
More veterans are starting businesses
From: Star-Telegram
TARRANT COUNTY — Andrew Brady, armed with a Purple Heart and early Army retirement papers, launched a business in his hometown last year.
His objective was nothing less than audacious — to sell high-dollar, custom-made rifles in a battered and weak economy where even Walmart and Target have sometimes been hurting.
A college graduate and two-time combat veteran before his 30th birthday, Brady knows the odds. He’s doing it despite them.
“This is the worst time to own a business, much less start one,” he said one afternoon in the Lone Star Armory shop, near Rendon in southern Tarrant County. “But if you can make it in this economy, I’m convinced you can make it for good.”
By launching his small business last year, with no backing outside of family, friends and his own chutzpah, Brady is part of what seems to be a growing trend among veterans to become entrepreneurs.
About 9 percent of the businesses in the U.S. are veteran-owned, the vast majority of them small businesses with few to no employees, according to a Census Bureau survey taken in 2007, the most recent and comprehensive study of the subject.
But Brian Bascom, CEO of the U.S. Veterans Chamber of Commerce in Plano, figures that the numbers might be edging higher since then, based on what he calls a “fairly significant entrepreneurial bent” among those in the military.
Combine that with close to 15 percent unemployment nationwide among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, and one has a potential recipe for more entrepreneurship among 20- and 30-something veterans.
“These are not folks who are going to sit around on their thumbs, so if they can’t get a job, what are they going to do? They’ll make up their own job,” Bascom said. “It’s absolutely a kick in the pants for entrepreneurship.”

Remington 870 or Mossberg 590? Which shotgun is best for you?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Mossberg, Opinion, Remington on 15/Oct/2010 00:42
If you surf around gun forums you’ll see that “discussions” about “the best” shotgun can get pretty emotional. It’s like guys arguing about Fords or Chevys; not always objective.
Here’s a collection of observations by shotgun users that I found helpful, not just guys ranting, but helpful information that may make your decision a bit easier.
As always, understand this is opinion and anecdotal information, bear that in mind. We’re not making any claims on accuracy of info, just passing along some discussion.

ATF Tries to Scuttle Plan to Reimport Surplus Rifles
Posted by Brad in Law, Springfield on 13/Oct/2010 10:45
In this story from World Net Daily, author Bob Unruh reveals how the Bureau of Alchol, Tobacco, and Firearms is blocking a plan for South Korea to return thousands of surplus M-1 Garand rifles and M-1 Carbines to the US for resale to the public. The ATF cites a “threat to public safety” as the reason to block the return of these classic American-made weapons.
