You beat me to it. Stonewall Jackson also kept a similar sort of diary/rules...probably much borrowed from the other Virginian.

It's my all time favorite also. In fact, the Pink and old style A/S Milk are the only two after shaves that I can use. The price is a bit steep, but once you know you like (and if you aren't sure, you can try it here , sorry for the shameless plug) you can get the 500 ml size bottle and then simply ...

He also does not have the right to keep a dirty kitchen, or the right to serve alcohol to minors. He hasn't been complaining about those things for the past thirty years - why not? Aren't they just as much of an infringement of his rights? That's not an entirely consistent argument since both alcoh...

Kenton, After the comments about your website I checked it out real quick and saw something about Lexington, VA. What do you do in Lexington? I graduated from W&L last year and am always surprised to meet people from that extremely small town. Hi Todd, W&L is one of my favorite places in Le...

Before I do anything with a gun (even my own), I check to see if it's loaded or not, and I do this by racking the slide or working the bolt and then dry firing the pistol/rifle on an empty chamber which is what I did with this rifle...

Huge Federer fan here, also. However, my dvr pulled a nasty little trick on me today...as I was about to start the match just a little bit ago, my dvr unexpectedly "rebooted", and when it came back my entire playlist had vanished including today's recording of the Wimbledon Final. So I tur...

I agree with everything David said with one clarification. There are very slight variations from one magazine to the next even though they both may claim to be mil spec...that being said, on my particular set up (pic below), I can partially insert a fully loaded 30 rd. mag backwards without damaging...

I still don't buy it. These magazines have a lip down the spine, it can't go in backwards and that really is a long index finger. Yes, they have a lip, but trust me, it can go in backwards, but just barely...maybe about a 0.5 inch, which depending on the mag and firearm is enough for it to stick un...

In 1, I think what we are seeing is a spare magazine. I don't think it is possible to seat a magazine backwards into the receiver. Stoner wasn't an idiot -- that's Stoner the designer of the Armalite / AR-10 / AR-15. Well, it's not possible to fully seat a mag backwards, but it will go in just slig...

Robert,

Do I understand this correctly? Standard Royal Mail International and FedEx Overnight will be the same price? If so, that's awesome!
