Google is a wonderful thing... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tun_Tavern Tun Tavern was a tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which served as a founding or early meeting place for a number of notable groups. It is traditionally regarded as the site where the United States Marine Corps held its first recruitment drive.[1] It is also regarded as the "birthplace of Masonic teachings in America."[2]

Saw a video today of the Sgt Mjr's comments on today's 234th.
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

TC, Thanks for the low down. Not being a Marine you have to excuse my ignorance...
