Saturday Morning Gun ***

Today, we'll finish out the 7.62x39 AK-style rifles residing inside the Arms Room. In this case, an Yugoslavian M70AB2, built on a Yugo parts kit with a new-made US receiver, built by Darin at Citizens Armory in Mexico, Missouri . Pics will embiggen if you click them.

Neccessity is the mother of invention...

And these guys are some seriously inventive mofos. <===(You *seriously* want to click that link - the article is chock full of embiggenable pics of this stuff!)A Libyan rebel fighter, in a vehicle rigged with armor plating, flashes a victory sign at a territory taken from forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi, after rebels pushed several kilometers in the direction of Zlitan, west of the rebel-held port city of Misrata, on June 13, 2011.

Thursday Gun ***

On yesterday's Gun *** post, USMC Steve asked, "Where are your Galils?" The answer to that is... down the rack from the AKs. Click the pics to enlargify.

DIY Weaponry Lybia

Upon looking at this video I was struck how with chewing-gum and baling wire, ex-Alqaeda-non-Iraqi-Foreign-Fighter types and now *er* heroic anti Qadaffi rebels, are arming their forces. Budget: Zero. Then the thought occurred. It took General Dynamics $23,000 to churn out a copy of the Mk19 Grenade Launcher; FN $1,100 per M4 Carbine, etc. etc. etc. Someone is making a killing in our Bidnez industry. Boq

The reason unemployment is so high -- according to TROTUS*

In the midst of a flurry of Wiffle Ball® questions directed his way on yesterday's "Today" show by rookie hurler Ann Curry, the *Teleprompter Reader Of The United States revealed the White House's official explanation for the suckitude of the US economy and a 9+% unemployment rate.No, he didn't blame Bush.It's all the fault of -- ATMs.Yup. The networked cash dispenser, which has been around in one way, shape, or form since the days when TROTUS was majoring in naptime...

Wednesday Gun ***

A little Balkan fandango, a mix of Romanian (the rifle) and Czech (the 2nd Gen night sight). Click the pics to embiggenate. The sight is functional (but batteries are a ***) and is really intended for the RPK/RPD light machineguns, but works in this application, too.I know there are those of you out there who consider the AK to be about the ultimate expression of a battle rifle, but I'm not that big a fan. Even well-built ones (which is to say not the ROMAKs put out for export - there's a...

Flag Day, Army Birthday, Happy Day, Sad Day...

This is a perplexing day for me. Too many choices come due, perhaps. Ones I made, and ones made for me. It's Flag Day - how to mark that at the Castle? I chose to fly the Civil War flag of the United States, given the sesquicentennial of the War Between The States, and even though I count several Rebels among my forebears, I am a bluebelly. Army Birthday... my connection to the Army is slipping, I can feel it. It will never leave, I've had a DoD-issued ID card since I was born... but I can...

Does Fiddler's Green have a runway?

And a special tap that dispenses AVGAS? Heartless Libertarian asked that question in email yesterday because of this news item about a preserved B-17 that crashed yesterday. That was heartbreaking to watch, if tempered by the knowledge that all the passengers escaped unharmed. I couldn't help but wonder if some old Luftwaffe fighter pilot didn't feel a little tingle go down his leg when he saw that video...

Monday Morning Castle GunPr0n...

Since I teased with the Castle's Garand this weekend, I thought I'd grab all three of John Garand's masterpieces that reside in the Holdings of Castle Argghhh! Both pics will embiggenate if you click them.The Castle's three Garands - in birth order... a Winchester made in June 1944, a Harrington and Richardson made in 1954, and one of the last of the battle rifles - a Springfield Armory made in 1957, the last year of production of non-National Match rifles. The Winchester fought in...

If you live along the southern reaches of the Missouri...

...say from Omaha to Jeff City and beyond, and you'd like to see the flood maps your county and city emergency management officials are watching... click here for the Kansas City District Office of the US Army Corps of Engineers . The Castle isn't under any looming threat, that would take a flood of bibilical proportion, but it's a very interesting example of something computers do well, and that the internet makes easy to access. If you really want to get your geek on - use these links...
