George Washington (February 22, 1732 (N.S.) – December 14, 1799) was an American political leader, military general, statesman, and founding father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Previously, he led Patriot forces to victory in the nation's War for Independence. He presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which established the U.S. Constitution
and a federal government. Washington has been called the "Father of His Country" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the new nation.
Washington received his initial military training and command with the Virginia Regiment during the French and Indian War. He was later elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses and was named a delegate to the Continental Congress, where he was appointed Commanding General of the Continental Army. He commanded American forces, allied with France, in the defeat and surrender of the British during the Siege of Yorktown. He resigned his commission after the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
Washington played a key role in adopting and ratifying the Constitution and was then elected president (twice) by the Electoral College. He implemented a strong, well-financed national government while remaining impartial in a fierce rivalry between cabinet members Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. During the French Revolution, he proclaimed a policy of neutrality while sanctioning the Jay Treaty. He set enduring precedents for the office of president, including the title "Mr. President", and his Farewell Address is widely regarded as a pre-eminent statement on republicanism.
Washington owned slaves, and, in order to preserve national unity, he supported measures passed by Congress to protect slavery. He later became troubled with the institution of slavery and freed his slaves in a 1799 will. He endeavored to assimilate Native Americans into Anglo-American culture but combated indigenous resistance during occasions of violent conflict. He was a member of the Anglican Church and the Freemasons, and he urged broad religious freedom in his roles as general and president. Upon his death, he was eulogized as "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen". He has been memorialized by monuments, art, geographical locations, stamps, and currency, and many scholars and polls rank him among the greatest U.S. presidents.
I finally found a first gen 9" version of this so this needs to go. These are great rails. It got light use so it has a couple of wear marks but its better than VG condition

Trigger is on par with my .22...
Just finishing packing up and headed out tomorrow morning. Hoping for a good trip, he’s never hunted before but at 13 years old is ready. The travel trailer will be loaded heavy with our gear and my good friend with his son’s gear too, hope the 935 ft/lbs of torque will handle the hills, LOL...
I finally bit the bullet on getting into suppressors last year and I'm considering a few options for a good bolt action squirrel sniper to act as a suppressor host. I've been looking at the ruger american rimfires, howa, cz 457, as well as the savage offerings, but i'm not sure whether the b22...
I think it was about '91 when I bought a M1 carbine, my first semi-auto rifle. Through the years I have purchased many more military semi-auto rifles but always snubbed the AR's, preferring wood and steel over aluminum and plastic. After all these years of avoiding AR's I finally just gave in...
Been lurking the page for a long time just never had any desire to sell so never finished setting things up! Glad to be here have had a few successful buying adventures here already.
What is up, everybody?
So, I “pulled the trigger” and signed up for my first shooting match.
Going to the Practical Pistol at DDRC on April 1st.
Any advice is welcome as I have zero experience with competitive shooting.
What to take? How many rounds? What to expect?
Attached is the picture...
I use the word build loosely here. As the internals are mostly stock. But I shot it quite a bit and changed it little by little until I was happy with it. Haven’t had anyone to compare it to since I only have one other friend with an AR. I’m actually not sure what model this is, but it started...
Years ago I rattle canned a shotgun for duck hunting that has held up well and still looks great after almost 40 years. With that in mind, I prepped a magazine and practiced on it first and then got serious on my coleman water bottle. Satisfied the gun wouldn’t turn out like azz, I did a...
Hello,
My taste in firearms actually leans towards single shots and bolt actions, but I want to add an AR to have some experience with the platform. I bought a bunch of mags before the high capacity mag ban with 300 BO/300 HAMR in mind, so I am covered on that front, but it seems like I should...
By buddy @Tweezy is new to guns is looking for his first CCW in 9mm.
Let's give him a warm and well-informed welcome and help him find his best option.
I've heard nothing but good things about the 43X, but I don't have one myself.
Is the red dot worth the juice...?🤔
I have an old G33 I love...
A roughly 9x5x2 zippered pouch using this tutorial https://sarkirsten.com/pouch-pattern-calculator
But no lining, no interfacing, and instead of the triangle technique, I cut rectangles out and bound the 4 vertical seams in Coyote brown binding tape. One solid piece of fabric versus 5-6 seen on...
I finally bit the bullet. I have had a bunch of ak mags I bought before the WA ban took effect and even have a KS47 build, but I have been holding out on an AK purchase for some reason. I have shot several of my buddies different AK’s but never have owned one myself. With more legislation...
