Some Mighty Fine Looking Guns
Now when most Folks think about The French and their attempts at using their Military. They think of the above Pictures. Except maybe for the French Foreign Legion.
(Who are still some serious Hard Ass Troops even today by the way)
This Fellow argues otherwise. So you make up your own mind.
One of the Funniest Guys that I have ever seen in Print is a man named P.J. O’Rourke. He has to be one of the funniest conservative writers that has come around in a long time.
(If you get a chance & want to know why Washington DC is so FUBAR*. Read his book “Parliament of Whores” . It is both Funny, Sad and very Wise. Amazon has it)
Now this is one of the Most UN Politically Incorrect Stories that I have ever read in my life. (Which is saying a lot!) It was also written a very long time ago in National Lampoon. Back when the term “Freedom of Speech” actually meant something.
For quite a while it was extremely hard to find. But somehow a copy showed up on the internet. Now I offer this up for entertainment purposes only. Also to show how far we have strayed from our Freedoms.
I ACTUALLY DO NOT BELIEVE IN THIS CRAP MYSELF.
But I do think that it is funny! If it offends anyone out there. My Heart felt Apologies are extended to them. To everyone else I hope that it will give you a few chuckles!

Yep!
This Gun just goes to show that some folks have way too much time & money on their hands. But if it lets them sleep well at night and they do not cause problems.
So as I like to think That I am a good American. Then All I can say is Good luck and God Bless them!
So here are a few more for your education and benefit.
I think That is a French “Apache Gang type Toy”
I saw one of these in Montenegro.(yes there is such a place!)
Anybody have an idea what this Semi Auto use to be?
Hopefully this one is just a concept drawing! But I wonder what it’s power source is?
A while back in the good old days. I was offered a great deal on a Parker Hale Bolt Action Rifle in caliber 22-250.
I am now so glad that the Good Idea Fairy was around and that I bought it.
As it shoots a really tight for me pattern. When I take it out on the Benchrest at the local shooting Emporium Range .
Now I am the first to admit that it is not my best looking rifle. It has one of the ugliest stocks with pressed checkering. That I have seen in quite a while.
Plus I had to have the trigger worked on. Since at first the trigger weighed in at over 8 pounds.
But “my” Smith was able to get it down to a very crisp two pounds now.
Now that was $40 bucks well spent in my humble opinion!
But considering how well it shoots for this old duffer.
Or the fact that I did not have to have it tuned up by a Gunsmith too much. I would be a real idiot to complain about it.
(It use to be a lot of Police Departments used this rifle for its SWAT Team Sniper.)
They also come in these other favors too!
Parker Hale in 7mm Rem Mag
or
The Parker-Hale Model 1200 Super 30-06
(It use to be a lot of Police Departments used this rifle for its SWAT Team Sniper.)
A Parker-Hale L81A2. In 308 or 7,62 x51 Nato for the purist out there.
All I know is that if one comes up for sale in my general area. That and if it is not really ridiculous in price. Then my Credit card is coming out of my wallet at a pretty good speed for this Old Fart.
Other Stuff about them that I found on the net. So far it has basically backed me up on my opinions.
