Years ago we used to have an image floating around here of a Continental Soldier (some called a Minuteman maybe erroneously) holding an AR-15.

I used to keep it on an old hard drive but can't find it. I would like to incorporate it into something I'm working on.

Anybody has it who can post it I'd be mighty grateful.

Thanks

This is like the original image more or less sans AR-15 instead of musket

[wardaddy]

figured I could try this.

do you know who here would have an updated RKBA list?

[StarCMC]

Any ideas for wardaddy?

How about THIS!

This image was created by cartoonist Scott Bieser, who is a libertarian cartoon author. He is the fellow who made grahpic novel adaptations of some of L. Neil Smith's novels.

If you are going to use it for anything commercial you should probably contact him for licensing. He might also have a version without the title on it, which would save you photo-shopping time. BTW: The gun in the militiaman's had is not an M-16 or AR-15, it is an AR-10. It's the original Armalite .308 version of the AR-15, with period-accurate "Mozambique Mud" brown furniture. So popular is this configuration with collectors that (the new, revived) Armalite makes a retro reissue of it.

I do not know if any of these will do. But here are a bunch of images.

How about a MinuteChick with a FAL?

[Charles Martel]

Check with the guys over on AR-15.com; they’ve probably got exactly what you’re seeking.

[wardaddy]

I’ll take the chick....

the Brit SLR version was popular in my west Africa days mid-late 80s

[wardaddy]

thank you sir

[wardaddy]

i thought about that...are AR-15 and AK47 forums the same now?

[VR-21]

"I’ll take the chick...."

So will I, and I do highly recommend the Dillon (Aero and Precision) calendars for this year.

a Continental Soldier (some called a Minuteman maybe erroneously)

A Continental Solider was a "regular" in George Washington's Army. Many of course were former militiamen. Minutemen were part of a "select militia" that took extra training, and agreed to be available "At a minute's notice", thus "Minuteman". Many towns in New England had both regular militia and Minuteman companies. Both sorts responded to the April 19th, 1775 British Regular arms confiscation raid on Concord.

A good book on the subject is The Minute Men: The First Fight - Myths and Realities of the American Revolution By John R. Galvin, General USA, former Supreme Allied Commander (NATO) 1987-1992. (He was a major, IIRC, when he wrote the book, which came out originally in 1967. The latest release is from 2006, so it's still available. That's considerably newer than my copy. :)

I’ve seen that image a dozen times, and now I can’t seem to locate it ANYWHERE. Have you guys found it yet?

[wardaddy]
