“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 323

Wednesday, February 17th, 2021

I thought today I’d try some more random gun crankery.

There’s a company called Optics Warehouse. I find it surprising that they sell rifle scopes in the UK, but I digress.

Anyway, they have a series called “Master Sniper”. This is episode 4, “British Sniper Rifles Through The Ages”.

One reason I wanted to mention this: Swift and Bold Publishing, the folks behind The British Sniper, A Century of Evolution (which I have previously discussed) have a new book coming out at the end of the month, The Green Meanie L96A1. Swift and Bold has been a pleasure to deal with in the past, and I endorse this product and/or service. (Even though the price does give me the leaping fantods, but again, have you priced sniping books recently? With shipping from the UK?)

Short bonus video #1: I haven’t used anything from the US Army Marksmanship Unit recently, so here’s an interesting video on the concept of “maximum point blank”.

Bonus video #2, from the School of the American Rifle, “AR-15 Cleaning Equipment”.

Bonus video #3: from Brownells (so keep in mind that they are trying to sell you product, though in my experience they are honorable and honest people): “Quick Tip: Tools Every Gun Owner Needs”.

Rush Limbaugh. Because I think the last thing in the world El Rushbo would want me to link to is the NYT, especially since the obit that’s up now is both incomplete and kind of insulting.

The website, which seems to be under heavy load right now.

I wish I could say more, but I was never a Rush listener, or really a talk radio listener after I left high school.

Edited to add: Lawrence. Also, thank you, Chris.
