Man, there a lot of us klutzes on FR. I had a couple of guns once. I thought that I’d go target shooting in the woods a while back. It is the damnedest thing, but I lost those guns in some field.
Of course, all of this fell out of the canoe years ago. A dark day, that was.
GLUTTON! What, 500+ posts isn’t enough for you so you’re reposting the link??!?
(Actually, that is one of the most interesting threads I’ve seen on FR in quite some time.)
Always curious about that picture. Anyone know who that woman is and what excuse she was executed for?
Beware of variants made in China.
(In Vietnam we called them Chicom-56.)
(German Wehrmacht's Sturmgewehr 44 was the real basis for the “Kalashnikov”)
The fish are taking up arms.

Milled receivers, right? They have the manpower, that’s for sure.
A stamped receiver is faster to make, lighter and cools faster.
Lost my SKS after it fell from my canoe.
Anybody looking for a US made AR-15 type can find some really good choices at less than $900 and even a few nice stripped down ones under $650. Ruger also has a nice line of somewhat comparable rifles with it's Mini 14/30 Ranch rifles.
It's a buyers market out there these days for these types of rifles, and 0bama is apparently the best salesman around.
My SKS was lost in a kiln explosion.
>> Lot of that happening these days...
I’m disappointed; y’all really should have taken better care of your guns.
I always took really good care of mine... but last winter the bills piled up and then my car crapped out and I had to get it fixed to get to work and I was strapped for cash.
So I sold all of my guns, the decent ones anyway, to a guy I met at luby’s; we were eating there and just happened to strike up a conversation... he was into guns, too... let me think, his name was Smith. Yeah, that’s right. John Smith.
I got John to sign a bill of sale with the serial numbers on it. I have it around here someplace in case it’s ever needed.
Mine? Bizarre Rice Krispie treat accident...
I always wanted an AK since 1968! Finally I got a high dollar Valmet and it was great, except it was way too heavy and atrocious sights! Traded it off and got a chinese AK. Bought a bunch of ammo, took it home and found out the ammo did not match! Had to buy a SKS to shoot up the ammo.
Now the SKS has replaced my 30-30 Winchester but I still have the AK. Can’t reload as the AK throws the empty case into a galaxy far far away.
I haven’t really tested it for accuracy beyond about 50 yards, where I find it plenty accurate. Others would vehemently disagree with you.
I prefer to build. They can just send me the parts!
Know what?
Knowing the kind of people who I would bet make up the majority of purchases - This makes me feel better about our nation.
It makes me feel SAFER to know so many of our citizens are arming themselves.

Sorry for that double post.
My clicker finger had a spaz when I hit post!
