For anyone interested, GUNS Magazine has their classic issues (1955 to 1965) in PDF format available to read. Some of the prices in the ads will make you sick, and some of the gun "debates" of yester-year are interesting, like "Can burp-guns replace rifles?"

The pen is mightier than the sword, but only when you're shoving it through your enemy's throat.

Interesting to read that gun enthusiasts were battling the ATF even back in the 50s (page 8, March 1958 issue of GUNS). Back then, the ATF was referred to as the ATTD (the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Treasury).

Yeah, the AR10 should of been the next rifle. It was sabotaged to fail the trials.
