SGN does have some articles online, but they omit the pictures. 
SGN is a pale shadow of what it once was. The Internet and online shopping have drastically cut their readerbase. Used to be, if you wanted a specific firearm, you went through SGN page by page. Now, you just Google it. <sigh> 
The larger suppliers, like Sarco, Hunters Lodge, IMA, etc used to have great graphics. Line drawing caricatures of soldiers, stuff like that. All gone now.  |
And that's what makes us old! I also miss the days when SGN was THE paper to go to for all your shooting needs. I miss the illustrations, drawings, not to mention prices. Militaria from all over the world, and dirt cheap. I never had the subscription, but as soon as the paper hit the stands, I had to have it. Too bad I didn't save any. I moved too many times in my life, and at one point I had tons of old SGN issues, which I foolishly threw away.
