AIM Surplus has them for $89.95, but it isn't the same as having your choice from a crate of 20... https://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Russian_1891_30_Hex_7.62x54R_Mosin_Nagant_Rifle.html Cheers! M2

Sorry guys, these are now $2,399.99 per crate and currently out of stock...

I'll cut you some slack as it did take me a while to notice it (my eyes were obviously drawn elsewhere!), but there was a clue as to who she is in the first pic... Cheers! M2

Sorry, no captions but the one from the previous post works as it is the same chick... Let the putter, ball, etc. jokes begin!

I don't think his "Mood: ecstatic" is gonna last too long...

Not "civilians," "contractors"... I would be most--if not all--have prior military experience. Don't blame the company for one idiot employee...

Dunno, couldn't find any follow-up reporting; but here is the incident report if it hasn't been posted already... And here is Todaro's mug shot: You can try emailing Jeremy Turnage (jturnage@wistv.com) at WIST, as he last updated the story on their web site.

Concur, it needs to be zapped into oblivion!

A whole bunch of 'then and now' plastic surgery pics can be found here. Cheers! M2

Yes, these are regular 91/30; not M44s or M38s... Cheers! M2

OK, I need nine more people with $200 each who want two hex-receiver Mosin-Nagants in excellent shape... https://www.impactguns.com/store/PWA-M9130CRATE.html I'll have them delivered here and will then have them shipped out to your FFL after they arrive. Anyone interested? That amounts to $100 per 91/30 in excellent+ conditions and with all the accessories. You can't beat that deal! Cheers! M2 p.s. Pitt, I got the same email about the KVAR sale...it's very tempting! p.p.s. T-bonez is right about the CZ 75, it is an excellent pistol and what US forces should be carrying instead of the POS Baretta 92F/M9 (if we couldn't carry a .45).

Now for two more 80s icons... First, poor Blondie... And Kim Wilde was hot in the day, but now... Shit!

Sorry, I don't have any experience with EAA guns; but two good forums to check for info are: https://www.thehighroad.org https://www.defensivecarry.com You should find some folks that can give you some firsthand experience with them. Cheers! M2

p.s. Here's some more... (and doing that annoying little shit Flavor Flav...)

Yeah, this sucks...as it is a constant reminder that we are all getting older...and fatter!

Yeah, I gotta ease up as I picked up my other paratrooper last night. My FFL has got a great shop and a range at the edge of his property, so we put a few rounds through it and the other two Norincos I've snagged over the past week (yeah, I've acquired four rifles in the past seven days! ). He's an AR guy and even has his own business--Dreadnaught Industries. He was showing me a couple of the projects he has going and I was seriously tempted to let him build me something nice; I want a short carbine but am not sure if I want to go through all the hassle. Still, after seeing some of the stuff he's got, it is tempting... Cheers! M2

80s Hot... Mug shot not!

Hey guys, I've got a question . . . . Have you ever seen Green Nike's before? Cheers! M2

If it happened, then the Lt's next comment should have been..."See if you can guess what I am now?" Followed by... "I'm a zit! Get it?" To which, the Reflective Belt Nazis would have responded... "All right, you bastard. Let's go, right here!" Thus requiring the call of "FOOD FIGHT!" Which would have resulted in the Base Commander looking like... But I am beginning to look more and more like Bluto! Cheers! M2

Don't know if this has been posted already, but I came across it today and felt it was worth posting... Our Fallen Airmen of Raider 21

Yeah, one of these days I will get off my fat ass and get one; but I work with a guy who is a FFL and who does my transfers for free, so it hasn't made it a pressing issue... Plus, the majority of my acquisitions are FTF events; I prefer to actually check out a firearm before buying it (although I have made a few purchases simply from pictures). The problem is, once I get one in my grubby little hands, I have a tough time not handing over the cash to keep it... Cheers! M2

Naw, the Frau and I have an agreement...I get to work but also buy guns when I want, and she gets to spend almost as much money on things she wants. Sure, it isn't the most sound financial situation; but sometimes you get to a point in your life where there are a few things more important than dying rich! Speaking of which, here is a "family photo" of the mil-surps I have at the moment... As I said, I have another paratrooper SKS inbound, which will probably top off that portion of my collection. From here on out I am gonna focus on Mosin-Nagants, particularly M44s and M38s if I can find them, or any rare 91/30s that I stumble across. I will throttle back, lately I have been a little angst'd up concerning the comprehensive exam I am taking next week to complete my second masters degree. Once that is done with, I will relax and won't need to buy as many guns as I have been in an attempt to keep myself distracted from the big test. Cheers! M2

Granted, I've never carried a Tactical; but I wouldn't have thought that the extra inch on the barrel would've made that much of a difference! I've conceal-carried M1911s on a few occasions and it was more of an issue of weight over length. Anyhow, I do have a "problem" with buying rifles lately; I picked up a Norinco paratrooper SKS last night despite having one inbound from Ohio. The one from last night may may have been originally destined for Bangladesh (the serial number is proceeded by the letters 'DB,' believed to be an indication of that). Bangladesh fought for "independence" from India with the support and help of the Peoples' Republic of China and Pakistan (of course). The PRC flooded the area w/Type 56 Carbines which proved invaluable in the national liberation struggle. I have indication if this rifle was ever used or even exported to Bangladesh before it was modified to its current paratrooper configuration (the paratrooper is a carbine-length SKS never used by the PRC). Doesn't matter either way to me, they are known for being sweet shooters! I think the second one I have inbound is the more "traditional" paratrooper, with serial numbers on the bolt cover and stock (the DB one doesn't have them). I'm still not sure I will keep both, but odds are that I will! Cheers! M2

XD-45 Service. I have on a few rare occasions carried either my Taurus PT111 or the PT709; but 99% of the time it is the Springfield...and one of the others as a BUG if possible...

'Tis true! I found a paratrooper locally and may just snag it instead or in addition to the one I have inbound... But I swear after this I am going to slow down...at least until I find a Mosin-Nagant M38 in ripe condition! Cheers! M2
