      Rifles of the First World War

      I have sold a number of my firearms over the years for different reasons, and then spent years rebuilding my collection. I recently added another First World War rifle that I had been looking for, so I thought I would photograph them together. A number of them have been rebuilt after the war...

      Guns stolen from 16 museums, 50 years ago, recovered and returned.

      For untold years in the mouse-infested, secret crawlspace of an attic in Newark, Delaware, a man named Michael Kintner Corbett kept priceless American history locked away from the world. That is, until the FBI came calling. On May 24, 2017, FBI agents led by art crimes Special Agent Jake...

      Unraveling the Myth of Sgt. Alvin York

      I stumbled across this and figured there would be others that would be interested in it. Archeology and documentation that has surfaced prove that the famous story of Sgt. Alvin York capturing 132 Germans single-handedly is a myth. The real story is that there were actually 16 other men with...

      Meta Quest 2 VR

      I searched and didn't find a thread on this, which kind of surprises me. We ate dinner with a friend of my wife and she told us all about how awesome the Meta Quest 2 Virtual Reality system is. It was enough to sell me on it even though I haven't been into gaming for 20 years or more. Does...

      My son's car was stolen, almost.

      I got a call this morning from my son (21 year old) telling me a convoluted story about how his roommate left his car keys on the seat of his car resulting in his car being stolen overnight. Knowing what his car is like (an old Chrysler 300), which is itself a long story; my first thought was...

      My visit to Portland, OR

      I could have placed this in the Break Room, but I know it will turn political so might as well start it here. My wife had business meetings in Portland so we went early and stayed at a place on the beach before heading to the city. The coastline is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Rocky, steep...

      Artificial Intelligence now Sentient?

      A lot of disagreement regarding whether this is really a thing, or just the program doing what it was supposed to do. Nonetheless, it is interesting to think about how we have now reached the point that it is impossible to tell if the "person" on the other end of the internet is actually a...

      Another example of... What could go wrong?

      This came up on my local Nextdoor, speaks for itself.

      Train robberies in LA up 356%

      Didn't see this posted elsewhere... Images of thousands of stolen and discarded packages alongside the Union Pacific train tracks near Union Station have people around the world asking – how does this happen? Apparently, it’s a near perfect storm of an ongoing train robbery problem, the...

      Some old Colts

      I recently had a chance to visit the Connecticut State Museum in Hartford. They have an amazing collection from Colt that is quite extensive. I am going to share some of the things that I thought were highlights. The original prototype, displayed on top of the original patent drawing. Cased...

      WWI French contract Revolver Modele 1892 'Espagnol'

      I recently picked this up, a Spanish made revolver purchased by France during WWI. These are probably the cheapest firearm from that war that can be purchased today, typically around $150. France was desperately short of handguns and turned to Spain, among others, to fill in the gaps. The...

      I can't rotate the bolt! -Ross Rifle Model 1905

      I just won this at an auction. A Canadian Ross Rifle. The full story on these is quite fascinating and I highly recommend the video by C&Rsenal. The short version is that Canada decided to adopt a rifle of her own design and manufacture due to frustration with being dependent on British whims...

      Old photos brought to life using modern technology

      I stumbled upon this on another web site. This guy uses technology to bring people in old photos to life with interesting results. They are colorized, sharpened, and even made to move. There are a number of different examples available, but I thought INGO would like this one.

      I'm looking for a barrel for the Israeli Galil rifle (the original, not the new Ace) if anybody has a spare?

      Netflix - The Social Dilemma

      I know there is a separate thread for Netflix, but I am curious if anyone else has watched The Social Dilemma? There wasn't anything truly earth-shattering in it, but it did do a good job of tying together all the little bits and pieces of social networking and the impact it is having on...

      I almost fell for a scam, but ironically I was saved by another scammer.

      My wife and I are moving to a smaller house and are attempting to git rid of some excess furniture. I posted something on Craig's List and got a message offering to buy it. I contacted them and was given a story about how they are out of town on business and asking if I would take a check? I...

      A new personal record for the post office

      I bought a book, I know, who reads books anymore? It was shipped on the 18th from Oakland, MI. According to Google Maps, Oakland is a 4 hour and 42 minute drive from my house. The book first went to Pittsburgh, then to Cincinnati, it then made its way to Indy. It sat in one facility in Indy for...

      WWII #4 Mk.I Lee-Enfield Rifle

      I took my WWII #4 Mk.I Lee-Enfield rifle to the range today. I'm much more of a collector than I am a shooter and, frankly, these full-power rifles leave me with a sore shoulder, so I don't shoot them too often. This particular rifle is a good shooter though, somebody that knew what he was doing...

      Dutch Model 1895 Mannlicher Rifle

      It was mentioned in another thread that hardly anybody ever posts any mil-surps on INGO, so I thought I would post this Dutch M1895 Mannlicher Rifle. I won it with an online auction bid for $230, but after shipping and fees it totaled $300. Not really cheap, but not too horrible for a mil-surp...

      5th Congressional District Primary

      I received a push poll phone call from the Victoria Spartz campaign last night, the first such call so far. I have to admit, I haven't really been paying much attention so far and it was the first I had heard about who all was running to replace Susan Brooks. Spartz won points from me for...
