With Peyton Manning breaking Brett Favre’s NFL record for career passing yards on Sunday, Favre – while hunting from a tree stand – took a little time from his busy schedule to offer his congratulations to Manning, who he said is “the best.”

“I’m in tree stand,” Favre confirmed on the video, which was posted to the Denver Broncos Facebook page, and has since grabbed more than 4 million views. “Yeah, you’ve interrupted me again,” he said to Manning before offering him congrats and good luck, and presumably went back to hunting.

The AK Operators Union, Local 47-74, gave the old accuracy field test to the PTR-32, the HK pattern 7.62x39mm rifle that blends east and west.

Based on the HK91 series, the PTR-32 trades in .308 for the standard AK fodder, hence the interest in the rifle by the AKOU who keep a weather eye peeled for anything even mildly Kalash related.

With the Teutonic roller-locked layout of the PTR blended with the caliber of the far off Russian steppes, the question of putting rounds on steel at distance arises– and it seems like Robski and co have the answer.

Paris is once again the victim of terrorist attacks in three incidents involving shootings, explosions, and hostage taking. At this point, we have few details on the perpetrators, but at least twenty-six are reported to have been killed. As I’m writing this, NPR’s All Things Considered reported that the number is now at least sixty.

A California man was indicted for gun and explosive possession by a felon, the Justice Department announced Nov. 13.

Kenneth William Kirkland, 47, of California City, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, possessing a destructive device and explosives, and failing to register a destructive device.

According to the indictment, authorities found Kirkland in possession of three rifles — a Double Star Corp STAR-15 rifle, a Russian M44 rifle, and a Winchester 94 — a destructive device, and a bomb.

He also did not register the destructive device nor the explosives in the National Firearms Act registry, the indictment says.

Kirkland, who was convicted of burglary in June 1993, was arrested Oct. 13 by California City police for the weapons possession. He was booked into the Kern County Detention Center on $1.4 million bond.

His court date is Nov. 24. If convicted, Kirkland faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $260,000 fine.
