OOPS!

Well, this is embarrassing.

We don't seem to have an article of the day for this date. Maybe you could help us out and make or suggest one.
(It's fun! trust us.)

On this day

[more] What else happened today
1900 — Springfield Armory completed an experimental magazine rifle which they believed to be an improvement over the Krag. They fashioned a clip loading magazine rifle in which the cartridges were contained within the stock, preventing damage to an otherwise exposed magazine. It was approved for production in 1903 - hence the nickname, "The Springfield '03". 2006: Olin Corporation, owner of the Winchester trademarks, announced that it had entered into a new license agreement with Browning to make Winchester brand rifles and shotguns, but not at the closed plant in New Haven. Today is V-J Day in the United States. Today is also Armed Forces Day in Poland, memorializing the Miracle at the Vistula.
