The arabs and Israelis are now killing each other with the M16 rifle.

And how did the arabs get the M16?

That is a very good question.

The America made Springfield uses the bolt action design of the Mauser rifle. The German company sued Springfield in the american courts. And Springfield lost. And the US began paying the germans a license fee.

here it was the 225, p6 in europe.
npr sucks.

The Springfield 1903 cited was made in government arsenals. Thus the name Springfield.

I stopped listening to them years ago. I don’t miss it one bit.

If it’s of any value it will easily survive through donations by viewers like you.

Sterling Arms made all-steel small striker-fired pocket pistols and was sued out of business in 1984 by a falsehood cascade very similar to what is happening to SIG Sauer today. It appears that attorney Zimmerman is repeating the anti Sterling playbook. I strongly suspect they have been financed by Michael Bloomberg who is determined to destroy the firearms industry.

SIG Sauer deserves the benefit of the doubt until real, reproduceable evidence to the contrary is presented. If this continues, there will be no one to manufacture the firearms you enjoy – and the ammunition you shoot (the ammunition industry is also plagued by corrupt, mega settlement seeking lawyers).

NPR isn’t going any place. Its just not going to funded via tax dollars any more and no more CBP scam through which tax payer dollars flowed to NPR and PBS.

Long before Boeing or Raytheon were a business.

Getting a government contract, federal, state, or local government, has always been their goal.

The early model Springfield rifles were not heat-treated correctly. So the soldiers who were issued them had problems back in the early 1900s.

In the future. Sig Sauer will be visited by three ghosts.

The first will be the CEO of Remington. The second will be the production manager of Remington. And the third ghost will be the quality control manager at Remington.

This is not just about the Sig as a firearms company. It’s about a group of people who went along with this and provided cover in the gun news media for their decision making.

The gun writers, the gun reviewers, the gun influencers, the gun magazines.

They all covered for the Sig Saur decision to only issue a “voluntary recall” of the P320. That was not drop safe.

And that was before the US government gave Sig a contract for a military wide sidearm.

And how many free guns free interviews?Free plane trips free parking at the hotel. How many of these influencers’, video channel folks. How many of them got a kickback?

A free dinner, free parking or a free room at the hotel? Or a free gun? At SHOT show or some other firearms convention?

I guess Hi Point and Charter Arms and some of the other low cost gun companies, don’t hand out free stuff. So is that why the gun writers crap all over them?

Hi Point has never had a recall.

Charter Arms has been producing 32HR magnum revolvers years, before the Ruger LCR came out. And I like their revolvers. They are available. And the Ruger LCR in 327 is not. My Charter Arms was also over $200 less than the Ruger.

Having said all that, I like the military-industrial complex. It provides me with all the guns and ammunition I can afford.

Btw

Bill ruger said he did not want the AR-15 sold to civilians. Gaston Glock did not believe civilians should own handguns. Smith and Wesson cut a gun control deal with the Clinton administration.

The top gun makers all have “dirty hands.”
