John Browning’s birthday should be a national holiday!
People that bitch about “the Mormonizing of America” would do well to recognize JMB’s contributions to the winning of the 20th century’s wars.
The DI, a Korean War Vet, said “Fire off all of the Mag then throw it at them and run.”
I noticed shortly afterward that RTOs, Blooper Operators, and M60 Gunners who normally would have a .45 as a secondary weapon took the Sergeants advice.
It is.
And we Browningites regard a trip to the range with a 1911 as one of our pillars. Knob Creek for a session on a Ma Duce is the equivalent of the haj.
I think you are right. John Browning’s birthday should be a national holiday. I am serious about that.
During WWI, Browning charged the government exactly $1 for a machine gun which was worth many millions just in royalties.
Browning mentioned that his son was over there fighting (incidentally trying out the BAR) and many other people’s sons were doing the same.
He was a real patriot.
If you enjoy firearms and the shooting sports, you have got to go to the John Browning firearms collection in Ogdon Utah. It is downtown in an old train station and the collection has samples of all Browning’s designs and guns, shotguns, pistols and rifles. The museum also has sections on western rail road building and classic old cars. Historic 25th Street, right in front of the station has some nice places to eat or shop.
