This Week in Guns, November 4th, 2017
 By Chris CovertRantburg.com The disposition of the Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl desertion case is not setting too well with veterans, who think he should have received prison time for desertion. I think a dishonorable discharge and forfeiture of rank to E1 is pretty severe without getting into prison. Bergdahl, in order to have any chance of a decent income, will be forced to do it illegally, or he could become a Democratic politician. Their bench is pretty bare at the moment, so a young traitor/deserter on the roster may be just the thing to get the votes coming in. Even if it's from the rooftops. You could try a new revolver manufacture, this time a .22 LR. The construction looks fairly easy, and all you need in addition to the machining work are some fire control components. In the Russian film "Brother", an eight shooter was featured in use by the main character, also in .22 LR. It is easy to dismiss, but the description of the piece in the film stated that, once the Soviet government fell, Russian organized crime started to make their own firearms. An eight shooter was one of the products available. One more thing: if you see the film, note what the character came up with for a suppressor. By the way, "Brother" is highly recommended, and well acted by a young Russian actor who died a few years later. Loads. Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition: Pistol ammunition prices were mostly steady. Rifle ammunition prices were mostly steady. Prices for used pistols were mostly lower. Prices for used rifles were mixed.
