Longtime readers know how this works; new readers, here’s a challenge. Send us your opinion on what this magazine is for, hopefully with a picture of it in the gun it belongs with. The first submission that gets it right, receives the RKI Award. That’s right, a real, original “Reasonably Knowledgeable Individual” award from Small Arms Review, suitable for framing and putting on the wall next to your PhD, Juris Doctor, or UCMJ Article 15. You will receive all bragging rights that go with being an RKI recipient, and we’ll throw in a free one-year subscription to SAR. Simply email us your answer and photo to: office@smallarmsreview.com.
For a refresher on the Vallerand Magazine Identification System, go to www.smallarmsreview.com and search for “Vallerand” in the archives. Or, go to SAR Volume 17 Number 2 and review it.
