Another of our weird regs concerns AR-15s. If you buy one fully
assembled, it has to be one of only a couple of HBAR models. You can,

I guess I just never had the "black gun" thing.
I like wood and full power 30 cal if I am buying a center fire rifle.

I wonder what Harry's need for or attraction to military weaponry is?
Back in the sixties when Uncle Sam would have appreciated him picking up
a gun and serving his country, Harry preferred to seek a scholars
deferment to attend a third rate school for girls in, of all places, Kansas.

My point exactly. He could have stepped up and they would have given
him a M16-A1 and let him shoot gooks with it. Now he lives that life
vicariously shooting Evian bottles.

He would have been one of two things in the service. Clerk, or paper
pusher or cannon fodder. That liberal arts degree would not get a skilled

D'oh. I felt no desire to "serve" the brutal right-wing dictatorship in
Vietnam, or the equally corrupt pols who followed in its footsteps.

I think it is nice that you and Fretwell managed to avoid the shooting
war by hiding out fixing radar and cruising on coast guard ships. FlaJim,
