I was looking at GunBroker.com when I saw this beauty
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=104896112#PIC
Apparently its a .577-450 Martini-Henry Bira gun, from 1870-1880's. Asking price was only $38K and they are saying that the entire piece is completely original. I would imagine that there might be a handful of these out there, but ive never even heard of another one so who knows how many there are. Anyways if anyone feels moved to do so it would make a great early birthday present for a certain collage kid who loves old machine guns.

Ruger has the SR-9 redux out, I really want one of these beauties. GunBlast.com has a full review here. For those who didnt already know all SR-9s got recalled and this is the fruit of the recall.

Ok this is Eleanor a 1967 Shelby GT500, this stunningly beautiful car was used in "Gone in 60 Seconds" (got to say that Nicolas Gage made a good driver for the movie).

This has got to be one of the top 2-3 cars ever made. I'm not a big Mustang fan but this Shelby is just drop dead gorgeous (not to mention it probably costs more than anything ill ever be driving). Personally id go for a red 1962 Corvette Hardtop, or a black 70s Corvette Stingray, but I don't know cus this Shelby is just stunning.

*disclaimer* My little civic is not called Eleanor just in case you were actually wondering if I was serious.

Ok so Im going to IUPUI starting this Fall (long boring story), and hoping that ill be able to double my gun collection this Friday, ill get pictures of my new guns up sometime next week. In other news I am going to celebrate the Supreme Court ruling by buying these new guns and hope y'all can all do the same.

O ya my new (but really old) car. Shes a 1990 Honda Civic DX holding a 1.5 liter engine that pushes 92 horsepower at 6000RPM. Ive already got some new rims and pulled a few dents out (pictures to come) but the best thing is that I get up to 45 MPG. Im planing big upgrades in this baby but they will take time since money is a little limited.

(the dent you see under the door just got pulled)

Yes the Sarge is back from PCC. Lots of news and only a short amount of time, so ill get started. Im transferring colleges from PCC to IUPUI. I bought a car (1990 Honda Civic DX). And My new 30-06 is stinking awesome.

Im switching colleges because PCC isnt accredited and I am going to have to have accreditation to get into the USAF. Also Ill be joining the AFROTC at IUPUI.

My car is sweet and gets about 40 MPG, and is actually a blast to drive.

And last but not least my new 30-06 is ready for modification (once I get enough money to do it)

And that my friends is an update from the Sarge.

Hello everyone, it is me the famous (or not so famous) sergeant. Life is good and since im headed home for 4 days it is much better. Midterms went pretty good but I haven't gotten all the grades back. PCC does not allow me to update my blog while im down there, but the nice Florida weather makes up for that, so that is why I never update. Many thanks to my little sister Dana, who trys to answer my comments and keep you all posted on whats going on. Anyways I got a new 30-06 to go try out so you all enjoy.

Ok well my last week was totally awesome. Encampment was a lot easier than I thought, but it was still really hard to find the energy to keep going. Every morning started with PT at 5:00, and the alarm clock consisted of people yelling, trashcans being tossed down the bay, and more yelling. After PT you had a 15-20 second shower, and had about 15 minutes to get into BDUs and SOP your bunk (make the bed and the like). Then you had the honor of standing at attention shouting at the top of your lungs for 20 minutes waiting for chow to open, and then you waited another 20 minutes in line standing at attention waiting to get your food, then you stood behind your chair at attention for about 5 minutes until everyone in your flight got their food and arrived at the table.

The best part by far, was watching 2 Airforce PJs jump out a black hawk. For those who don't know the PJs are the most elite SP units in the world. They go though Navy Seals training, Army Rangers training, Army Delta Force Training, each one is a combat medic, and fully trained as an EOD personal, both on land and in water. Then the black hawk they rode in on made 2 passes at about 20 feet off the ground, going full speed (that was freaking awesome).

My flight (Golf) made honor flight, and me C/Tech Sergeant Ruark was selected as guideon bearer for the flight.A few pictures below are of graduation day.

Marching in.

Formation of the flights.

Me and my flight commander reporting to the C/ COL for the honor flight.

The awesome gold tassel.

My flight, the guy with the white cord is C/Capt Legrand, he is my squadron commander (at encampment and at Weir Cook).

All in all I had fun,and can now wear 3 more ribbons on my ribbon holder (Encampment, my Master Sergeant, and a Squadron award).

Ok well I decided it is about time to post again. Well a lot has happened since my last post, so here goes. I got a new airsoft gun, sold 2, and have made a boat load of money from working (my collage account is still a little behind, but it should good by the time I head down to PCC). I have been officially accepted by the way, before I was already accepted but not officially (ya I know that makes perfect sense). I'm headed down to CAP encampment next week for a week of fun, which of course means a lot of PT, Drill, and my favorite getting to stand, sit, eat, and read at attention. Also I'm headed out tomorrow for 2 conventions, so i'm sure ill be nice and rested up before I have to report for in-prossesing. Well I sure you all enjoyed reading this, so ill sign off as I have a bunch of packing to do.

Hey PK, don't worry I totaly dominated the playing field. And as a side note, my new airsoft gun shoots 400 FPS (did I just hear you scream for mercy).
