Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I never made it to Vietnam because of the only lottery that I considered myself a winner at the time. Had a few friends fighting there and a really good friend die there. Someday I wood like to get a tracing of his name from the wall.
I always wanted a gun that represented the Vietnam War, but never got one. Finally after all these years, I am building a gun from 60's- 70's vintage Colt parts. It will be the closest thing that I will have to a good M16. Won't be the real thin, but darn close.
