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.
Got this gun in 16" 556 with no sights just front and rear rails. I want iron sight with a handle like pictured. Now on the front sight, will also be rail mounted, do I need low or high profile?

I am still using my first generation of Speer G2 147gr 9mm as range ammo since it does not do well in 4” barrels. My new Glock 17 has a 4.49” barrel. Can I use it for self defense now? No big deal if no one knows the answer since is makes good range ammo.
For sale is a GSG 5 in excellent condition. I am the original owner. I bought this when they were first released so this has the HK features the new ones now don't have due to HK's lawsuit. I've updated the barrel shroud/handguard to give the appearance of the SD version. The original parts...

Hi, I'm considering buying my first 22. Priority is robust ammo handling (hear so much about 22 misfeeds/FTE!), and good target accuracy. I am impressed by reports of Ruger Mark IV ease of takedown, and am strongly considering it. I would love to hear any advice on which Mark IV to consider...
So I picked up a M&P 10mm 4.6in model 13388. I must say it is a nice shooting pistol for sure.
It feels like any other m&p series fits your hand and comfortable to grip. The stippling is really aggressive and might tear your hands up if you have girl hands. I myself love it when the texture is...
Hello, it's nice to be here. I shot a gun for the first time 2 months ago in a handgun saftey class that I took with my wife. We are both in our 40s and recently bought our first house and took the class to see if a gun would be something we would be comfortable having in the house for...

Just picked up my first “evil” rifle. Not super familiar with them yet, not new to firearms but new to the platform. Has some interesting markings. Police trade in possibly? Can anyone tell me a little more about this one? Also I believe it has a bayonet lug which is pretty interesting. I’m...
It's been a while, I finally made the leap on a SIG P320 X-Carry
I purchased a wall safe to install while the transfer clears.
I also purchased a trigger lock.
I've been looking for the info on legal storage but finding mixed info.
It seems to say I could legally leave the gun out if it's...
