Be a Rasterbator!

The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size.

Rasterbating, sometimes known as tiled printing, is a feature of many computer programs that enables them to print images larger than a standard page. The program overlays a grid on the printed image in which each cell (or tile) is the size of a printed page and then prints each tile. A person can then arrange the tiles to reconstruct the full image.

The Rasturbator site allows you to upload an image, process it, download it as a PDF file, print it out, and then paste the pages together to make a larger image. You may also download the program -- it is free.

The Ruger Collectors' Association

The RCA, co-founded in 1975 by the late Stephen K. Vogel (Bill Ruger's son-in-law) and John R. Hansen, Jr.,  is an independent organization of Ruger collectors, not affiliated with or sponsored by Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. The association is dedicated to the study and preservation of Ruger firearms and memorabilia while promoting camaraderie and fellowship among those interested in collecting and exchanging information about these firearms.

It is the 2nd oldest NRA affiliated collectors' organization.

The RCA publishes a quarterly journal, known as The Ruger Collectors' Journal, and regularly displays at the NRA and other major shows. From time to time special issues of Ruger firearms have been produced for and purchased by the RCA, and offered exclusively to its members.

There are forums where the experts gather to answer questions about Ruger products and these should be the first places information seekers should head.

Colt22: The Colt Woodsman Page

Bob Rayburn literally wrote the book on the Woodsman. His site is the best I have found for parts, information and exploded views for these great old pistols. My Dad owned one and I have owned several. There is no modern handgun that can match these for aesthetics and performance.

Wayne Driscoll Miniature Firearms

This 1/4 scale CETME rifle won NRA silver medal # 72 at the National rifle Association Annual Meetings on May 16, 2010!!! 

This is one of the neatest miniatures I have ever seen!  It is a fully functional 1/4 scale CETME rifle made at the Spanish government arsenal in Spain.  The CETME rifle was developed by the Spanish arsenal to be their front line battle rifle.  It was in .308 caliber.  H & K later developed the select fire HK G3 and the semi-automatic HK-91 from this rifle.  100% fully functional, it comes complete with the original case and 17 rounds of machined brass dummy ammunition.  You can load the magazine and it will feed, chamber, extract, and eject.  This is a select fire weapon and the selector and safety both work.

Sniper Country: Updated Post

Sniper Country is the place to go for any information on the practice or history of sniping and accurate long range shooting. There are many pertinent articles, links and forums.

It is dedicated to the advancement, education and history of the military and law enforcement sniper. It is not a site for the immature or the politically militant.  It supports the PROPER use of snipers within the law enforcement community and will always champion their use within the armed services.  A trained sniper has the ability to SAVE more lives than he will ever take in the course of his legally assigned duties.

  Civilians have always been welcome on this site because they feel that part of the message it presents needs to go to them.  Snipers have long been misunderstood, vilified and even placed into the realm of myth.  The Hollywood edition of the long-range marksman is seldom accurate and often based in a supposed evil nature or heroics bordering on mythology.

The Box of Truth

 

The purpose of the Box O' Truth is to test the penetration of various rounds in various media.

There is only one way to know how much a certain round penetrates. You must shoot it into a medium and see for a fact.

That is what this specialist site does. From windshields (in both directions) to books to car doors and padlocks and in calibers from .22 to .45-70, they have tested penetration and bullet performance.

There are also tests of tactical lioghts and other self-defense related products.

The site is not updated regularly, but what is posted is interesting.

Reviews, previews & video reviews of various guns seem to be well done. There are a ton of related site links and ads, and the site averages around 17,000 visitors a day.
