Just to backup I6's info on the M145 (MGO, NSN 1240-01-411-6350): Civy Model of the MGO (Machine Gun Optical): http://www.elcan.com/ELCAN_Business_Areas/Sighting_Systems/Products/Day_Sights/SpecterM145.php http://www.dsarms.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ELCM145W The "thingy" is not an optical...

Has anyone made something similar but for mounted operations with an integrated brass catcher?

Oh for goodness sakes, just go buy a Macbook (which are now fully Intel based) and then dual boot into either OS X or Windows XP (or even Vista... Take my advice, buy XP, don't even touch Vista till the service pack comes out at the very least). Then you get the best of all worlds.  It's a...

Another interesting tidbit from that article: Great, so now if they have an economy again, they can start the arms race again... Hmm, maybe NATO will revive the REFORGER exercises soon and we'll have a CMBG back in Europe... And the other little bombshell regarding who controls the missiles:

Hence my tag line "is a coldwar kid seeing history repeat".  I grew up through one cold war, that was enough thanks. Where's Ronnie Reagan when we need him... he'd fix 'dem ruskies"... maybe his Son Michael who has a talk show on Sirius inherited some of his traits and can end the cold war yet...

From the http://www.defense-update.com/products/t/trophy.htm link: Hmm, gotta love that statement... ouch comes to mind.

Touché  ;D

The helmet is made by Gallet out of France, though I assume it was made in Quebec under contract like everything else in the Military...  ::)  See the last page of the User's Manual at the link further down. http://www.gallet.fr/index.php?id=407&L=0 It is known as the Model CG634 helmet...

Well now it's our turn....  for those of you who missed the front page of todays Globe and Mail...

Actually this topic never gets too far with anyone that knows the history of York (Toronto).  The Yanks burned the York government buildings in April of 1813 as well and stole our Mace (and captured the entire town).  The white house was burned in August of 1814, so it was simply a matter of...

Next the Post will be telling us the Marines didn't run into any Chechnyians in Fallujah...  ::)

+1 Great comment.

Ah damn, you took all the fun away :-)  I was wondering who would catch that little Free-Press slip-up.... As I recall, Bushehr is about 250 miles SOUTH of Tehran! Will Russian aspirations never cease eh  ;D P.S. Aren't these the same reactors that I remember the Germans building back in the...

My favourite quote from that article: "Russia, which is building Iran's first nuclear reactor in the southern Russian city of Bushehr, has consistently warned against attacking the Islamic republic.  Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov has warned that a "bombing of Iran would ...

Hey great find!  iTunes Canada has all his albums including that single, perfect.

Have a listen to Julian Austin, he's Canadian and his song "The Red & White" is of the same vein.  Excellent singer and stand-up guy. http://www.julianaustin.com/ http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=125980257 Cheers     Tim

Almost 100% guaranteed, look at the shape of the butt with the extra piece facing downwards, the flash suppressor is conical, square receiver assembly, elongated holes on assembly, the rear site folded down ahead of the feed tray, etc. Compare to image below: Love to have a go at that little...

Well looks like the issue of the standard 3-colour NATO camo paint job didn't last long... the dust changes the colour pretty quick! Has any sort of Canadian identification been added yet or plans for?

My pair of pouches arrived today, mounted without any real issues.  I used a pair of mags at first for spacing but then simply found that the velcro straps made for a perfect size automatically, simply pull them through the buckle until the all the velcro is through both holes of the buckle...

Just wait till they go through the usual drill of every course... MCpl: "Does everyone have their autobiography completed?" Candidates: "Yes MCpl" MCpl: "Excellent, now turn that one over and write a new one.  You have ten minutes." Then sit back and wait for the usual questions... "Um...
