Will harm or good or neither come to us from a two day hiatus of politics and paper pushing?
I hope not. The three feet of snow we got this weekend shut everything down and I can not even imagine what twelve feet more will do.
Mosins for me too. With Mausers in reserve. I find that the price of one mauser will equal 2 or more mosins. I’d post a pic but photobucket seems to be acting up for me tonite.
Do you think G-d might let it keep snowing there until about June if we pray hard enough? ;)
The Pew Charitable Trusts should offer a huge cash reward for the best snow statue. Perhaps the treasury department could ask Kinko’s to run off a few hundred thousand extra bankruptcy anticipation notes for the lucky winner. Maybe the labor department would count this as part of the “employed”.
Collect mostly Finns, 91s, 27s, etc.
Used to get them fairly cheap but not
so much now.
MY favorite is a 1927 Tikka 91 with a heavy barrel,
love to shoot it and quite accurate too.
finns are cool. the owner of http://gunsnammo.com has some nice ones
How long has it been since the feds were closed two days in a row?
Ak Polish underfolder.
Yugo sks 59/66
Ak m-65 built as bullpup.
Aks made to ATF spects on commercial receivers.
Have you shot the 44 at night yet?
I have one that the barrel had to be shortened by two
inches because of bore wear.
It throws out a fireball about three feet in diameter!
I like the SKS. Wood and iron rule
Amazing.
The seat of power of the world’s preeminent superpower made incapacitated by a simple snowstorm.
While brave men and women fight and die in inhospitable lands, the Federal government takes a “snow day”.
Pathetic.
(Although, not having them “working” does not mean they’re not still metastasizing)
Someday I will shoot the m44 at nite. no venue for it right now. I’d like to see my m95 Steyr carbine at nite sometime, too.
(what’s left of) our liberty and property are safe for another day or so...
