When going through the editing process, I send a story to a group of individuals who have experience with the subject being written about. Occasionally the results are amusing. Case in point, the last chapter. Travis grabbed a rifle, a Springfield Arms M1A, the civilian version of the venerable M14. When originally written, I had him grabbing a Ruger Mini 14 chambered in NATO 7.62. Shows what I know! It turns out the Ruger model uses a Russian 7.62 round, which I didn’t even know existed! They promptly suggested different weaponry, which I gladly changed to. As always, any screwups are mine.
Enjoy!
