Well, isn't life a trip? Nothing stays the same but everything goes back to where it started.
Looks like I'm gonna be a road warrior - again. Sorta. Part time.
They've decided to expand my role. Allow me to do some outside sales. They are just small local accounts and that's fine. Just kinda funny. Didn't really expect that.
Not sure how I feel about it either. I'll do it, and I'll do my best but, well anyway.
I do need some help. I'll be calling on some of the small arms manufacturers. We supply several parts and I'm too build the business. There's only one problem. I know what the parts are called but I don't know what the hell they are.
For instance - I finally worked up my nerve and asked T1G what a charging handle is and why they are considered disposable. He knew it right off the top of his head. Damn impressive. Hell - I was just proud to know what the hell it looks like and what it's made out of.
So....over the next few days I may have some "small arms" questions. I just wish I had a scanner hooked up and I'd down load some pictures - that might help.
The good part is I've got the resources. With the folks that read this blog - I may look like a genius.

Swords... now I'm your man.

If you need some gun questions answered...Dear Husband might be able to help you, he might also point out some great references for you.
You still have my # and my e-mail....so "shoot"...
Posted by: ArmyWifeToddlerMom at September 21, 2005 09:09 AMThank you all!
Eric - the charging handle is disposable because I sell a bagillion of them. I asked T1G that same question and he explained it's because they break.
I guess that's good - for me anyway! ;-)

Can't imagine that there's a whole lot he DOESN'T know.
Posted by: Harvey at September 21, 2005 07:07 PMThe part you put your finger on and pull is called the trigger. A revolver has bullets in a circle. An automatic has a clip. A clip holds bullets. That big piece of paper you shoot at is called a target.
The end. That's all I know. ;-)
