National Service Language Corps?


is anyone affiliated with this program? if so, is it still open for recruits? I read a little about it but it mentioned a pilot program that ended in 2010, and I don’t know if they still need people. I would assume they would ALWAYS need new people, but you never know.
I speak some spanish. i am not fluent yet, but wish to be in the future, and the NSLC sounds like an AMAZING opportunity.
If i could get some inside info, that would be great!

Who Owns The Rights To The Krag-jorgensen?


I’m just curious as to who owns the rights to the Krag-Jorgensen. I’ve noticed a lot of Civil War and Wild West reproductions in the market lately, and since the .30-40 Krag was used by the US Army during the 1898 Spanish-American War, maybe it would find a niche in the market.
