Odds 'n Sods:
Simon M. mentioned that following Mossberg's
lead, the newly-minted "we're
conservatives, honest!" management at Smith & Wesson has
jumped on the "survival kit" band wagon. They now offer "Disaster
Ready" kit packaging for four variants of their Glock-like Sigma Series
9mm and .40 S& W pistols. Simon says: "I see that the kit is
missing a good knife and a holster. I hope there is a good flint in
the Pocket Survival Pack. Now if they did one of
these
[kits]
based on there M&P15 (AR-15) that would
be a bit better." As previously mentioned in SurvivalBlog, S&W
already offers a survival kit tailored for the Montana/Alaska/Canada
"bear country" market including
one
of
their whompin'
huge .500 revolvers.

I'm often asked for gunsmith recommendations. One that I can recommend
highly is Rich Saunders, who operates CGW
in Gardnerville, Nevada.
He is an awesome FAL/L1A1 gunsmith
that
has
branched
out into other
gunsmithing work, including AKs. Rich has done five FAL-type rifle
builds for me in the past four years. (Three L1A1s, an L2 heavy barrel,
and
a
custom
inch magazine compatible "Para".)
He does amazing work. All five of these rifles were absolutely gorgeous
guns that function flawlessly.
Rich
also
does
custom
coatings on firearms, and now sells knives and field gear. Highly recommended!

Bob B. mentioned this
book review of The Dangerous Book for Boys. Sounds like
my childhood!
