OK, this is interesting...
In the "Gang at the Gunks" photo, one gent is holding what appears to be a .223 cal. Ruger mini-14 rifle.

Anyone know the story behind that?

Hey, oenophore, I respectfully recant my recent explanation. Maybe this is why kids know how to use firearms! (lol)

Let's put this one to rest as fast as possible.

That's me. Yeah, on To Be Or Not To Be.

Thanks for the blast from the past, Chaz.

Why tell us, yorick? Speak up on the page where the photo is! By the way, it's a GREAT shot! I'm curious to find out some technicalities (like where the shot was taken from, what size lens, whether you did the whole thing a-la-mode, or undressed @ before the last pitch) but perhaps we could take that off-line. Could you PM me w/ details? Thanks!!!

Top candidate for 5.11 testpiece?
