A Parker from Remington – 1934 marked the year that Remington took over production of Parker shotguns, moving the plant in 1938 to Ilion, NY. Then came WWII, which ended production. In a 1987 project intended to bring back the classic Parker side-by-side shotgun, the Remington Custom shop made up prototypes that included updated features like screw-in chokes. Only a handful of these 20 ga. shotguns were to be produced.

FN Issues Recall on M249S Rifles
The 5.56 M249S from FN America is a semi-auto version of the battle-proven M249 SAW light machine gun.
FN America announced Friday the mandatory recall of its M249S rifles, both the standard and PARA configurations.
“A recently identified design issue within the hammer group of the rifle may adversely affect the rifle’s reliability,” stated the Virginia-based company in a press release.
“Under certain circumstances, a reset failure within the hammer group may cause the M249S to cease to function, causing an unsafe firing event,” it continued.
Not all rifles are affected by the recall. FN urges purchasers to visit the FN M249S Safety Recall webpage and input the serial number on their rifle to determine if it is subject to the safety recall.

If the rifle does have the issue, FN will replace the hammer group at no cost.
FN told customers, “Please do not ship any affected product to FN until a FedEx label has been generated and sent. If the firearm is not affected, a message stating such will be displayed. In the interim, FN asks that customers not operate their FN M249S standard or PARA until the hammer group has been replaced.”
The company urges purchasers to be patient with the process. But it will work to fix and return the rifles back to customers within 30 days of receipt.
If you have questions about the recall or need assistance, contact the FN M249S Recall Support team at 1-800-635-1321, extension 145. Or by email at M249Srecall@fnamerica.com . Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

Well I thought it was Interesting!
Now I found this site while wasting time for some reason or other. Now as a Ex History Teacher and general History Nut. I find stuff like this fascinating.
But it is also very sad one too. As we tend to forget the high cost of War and the pain that it brings to so many. Especially for such a Tragic war that we fought in Vietnam.
Now if this upsets anyone out there. I am truly Sorry as I do not mean to make light of our losses. Nor do I wish to dishonor our Honored Dead.
But I think that this information can be a great resource for us to use and to think about. Especially when we start talking about the Future of our Great Republic & what we should do.

A Classic Satan Joke
The Old Cowboy…..
A few minutes before the church service started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and chatting among friends.
Suddenly, in a flash of light, Satan appeared in front of the congregation!
Suddenly, in a flash of light, Satan appeared in front of the congregation!
Everyone started screaming and running for the exits, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for one elderly cowboy who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the man and said, ‘Do you know who I am?’
The old cowboy replied, ‘Yep, sure do.’
‘Aren’t you afraid of me?’ Satan asked.
‘Nope, sure ain’t.’ said the cowboy.
‘Don’t you realize I can kill you with one word?’ asked Satan.
‘Don’t doubt it for a minute,’ returned the old man, in an even tone.
‘Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?’ persisted Satan.
‘Yep,’ was the calm reply
‘And you are still not afraid?’ asked Satan.
‘Nope,’ said the old cowboy.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, ‘Why aren’t you afraid of me?’
The old cowboy calmly replied, ‘Been married to your sister for 48 years.’
**** Trigger Warning- Semi Adult Conversation Below****
Now I found some more pictures of the ongoing craze about Assault Rifles / want to be ray Guns. Now as you know doubt know by now. I am not a big fan.
As I think that this is what a Rifle should look like.
But since they are popular and I do not want to urinate off too many potential readers / donors. HINT, HINT!
I wish!
Also
I do get why on they are popular with the General Shooting Population. Especially since they are one of the few guns. That one can “gear up!” without the need of a Gunsmith. 
So enjoy!
