Very interesting article attached. Is current decline in oil prices just one more occurrence to the historic boom and bust cycles the oil industry has seen ever since Spindletop? Not according to this author. Sorry if this is the wrong area to post but it does have political consequences...

Just stopped at Gander Mountain to get something else but ended up buying some American Eagle .223 (55 gr. FMJ) for $8.99/20 so I grabbed a dozen boxes to go with my other purchase. Also saw Remington UMC in 45 gr. $139.99 for a box of 200, but passed on that for the American Eagles. Ended up...

I have finally climbed onboard the AR train...gonna take deliver soon of my first AR, a SIG Sauer M400 in 5.56 with the detachable carry handle. I wanted a basic bare bones model and that was my decision after sorting through what I wanted. Post pics as soon as I get her home...:patriot:
