    sringfield mil. spec.

    Brazilian foundries rank at the top in the forging / foundry world. Highly regarded as extreme quality and workmanship. Sure, the Reese family could have hired Union workers to make their frames, but at a MUCH higher cost. And possibility of work stoppages, walk outs, etc. But then, we'll...

    Unions.. keep 'em or end 'em?

    Pssst...... hey guys. Ever notice how many union companies close shop here in America and head over seas? Plenty! Why you ask? Too costly for the owner / board of directors to pay the wages the unions strong arm (read strike) their owners with. Hence, shut the plant and move to a location...

    Can anyone dispute this fact?

    Loaded, read my post. I'm willing to bet that Colt went back into production at the same location, with at least some of the old employees making the same products on the same machines. The point being made here is that Springfield has NO continuity to the past. Not one physical link to the old...

    Loss of rights and other "feel good" BS!

    Okie -- When I pass you in my car I'll be sure to wave to you as I stuff another cheeseburger into my mouth, grab some fries, sip my drink, tune in another radio station, turn to talk to my passengers, answer my cell phone, look in my mirrors, shift gears, use my turn signal, check my on...

    Teachers: where are the CONSERVATIVE unions?

    TWO WORDS ---- School Vouchers! Send your kids to the school you want using the voucher system. Our current school system has failed miserably. And yes, unions are one of the causes. Liberalism is too. I hate liberals! And I'm not too fond of unions either. Unions = extortion while...

    Loss of rights and other "feel good" BS!

    5. No cell phone usage while driving - I largely agree with this (I've seen too many accidents and near-accidents), but would like to see exclusions allowing for hands-free kits. Preacher - Not to beat up on you but, What's next from Big brother while driving? No radio tuning? No eating? No...

    What if the M-16 was never adopted?

    Think about this - The .223 round is meant to injure not kill right? If so, then it takes 1, even 2 other comrades to help the wounded guy to the back lines for medical attention. Now instead of 1 guy out of the scenario you have 3. And what man is going to fight if he sees his comrades leaving...

    Loss of rights and other "feel good" BS!

    Let's not forget that guns aren't the only agenda of the "left wing, I grew up on MTV and Barney the purple dinasaur, kumbaya" nit wits. They have attacked (and succeeded in some cases) -- 1. The cigarette industry -- restaurants and bars that cannot have smoking in them. 2. Not...

    Can anyone dispute this fact?

    Hmm.......... The original Springfield Armory served the country through wars and foreign conflicts for nearly one and three-quarters centuries, before it closed its New England operation in 1968. In 1974 Robert Reese acquired the Springfield Armory name and identified the growing need for...

    "Knock-down" effect of being shot?

    Just remember this. It's pure hollywood. And if you don't want to believe otherwise then believe this... If the bullets/pellets are going to cause the recipient to fly backwards in mid air, or cause him to fall back with each succeeding hit, then too will the person shooting the bullets/pellets...

    War on Terrorism Over?

    zedicus said: "With the passing of the Patriot Act, and the Son of Patriot Act, we are giving up our freedoms left and right. Wasn't that why we were attacked in the first place? The war on terrorism is over, and we have lost. Not by the hands of any hijackers, but at our own hands. Freedom is...
