Blackthorn Fitness/Health Public Service Announcement

 As you age, your mobility does not degrade simply because of the fact that you are aging. Sitting on your ass and not attempting to maintain a base level of strength can delay and sometimes even partially restore your mobility. 

So get off your asses before it's too late.

Sunday With Blackthorn - James Reeves Is Back With Another Shotgun 500 Round Burndown

 This is Re-do of the original Stoeger M-3000 Burndown he did last year.  That was the one where the Buttstock came loose and the number of malfunctions were totally egregious. Stoeger contacted James and apologized and asked if he would give them another opportunity to have him review the M-3000. 

 James agreed, and this video is Stoeger M-3000 500 Round Burndown Redemption!

Sunday With Blackthorn - Never Before Seen Paul Harrell Video

 If you've been following this Blog for any substantial period of time, you'll know who Paul Harrell is, and that he passed away from Cancer in September of 1024. The video below is obviously something I never expected to turn up. I'd like to think that there might be a t least a few more that could potentially turn up. In the meantime, sit back, get a cup of coffee or your favorite adult beverage, and learn something from someone who his business.

 

On The Subject of The M-2 Carbine

 

And Once Again, David James Says.....

 ....PAY ATTENTION!!!

 

 

This is Pretty Cool, But Not At The Pricepoint

 Look, I've always liked the M1 Carbine. Old WW2 and Korean War movies,  etc. I've even had the chance to shoot a few over the years. So when I saw this Youtube video and checked out what updated ammunition, better materials and better tooling and machining could do for this venerable old warhorse, I was impressed. 

Now to be upfront, I don't see this  replacing the AR platform at any time in the future. Especially at the going price for a brand new one from Fulton Armory. Especially considering the MSRP of $2,625.00!!! 

Talk about sticker shock.

Still, the video is worth watching, so grab a cup of coffee, sit back and be amazed at what can be attained by updating an old warhorse with improved technology.
