I'm mailing off my C&R in the morning!
I just gotta get up early, drop my LEO forms off at the sheriff's office before work, and mail the forms to Atlanta!

I just want to thank all of you Fine Riflemen who have inspired me.
I will be honored to join your ranks, if you'll have me.

Local Fudd shop story from a few hours ago:

I was finger loving the two Garands they had in on consignment, and this rear end in a top hat standing there looking for a HD gun for his wife(who was with him) speaks up.

"My father-in-law up in Seattle found a guy who is going to hook me up with a Garand. Apparently they had bought several crates back in the 70's when they were cheap, and they're going to sell them for $150 each."

Of course I laughed in his face.


Also, the fudd behind the counter recommended a Taurus Judge to the lady for HD.
I wept.

Okay, so at work today i talked to a neat oldster.
He was telling me about some of his time in a sniper outfit in the 223rd infantry regiment the korean war.

He said that since they didn't have many m1d's to go around, and they were basically DRM, what they did was convert their garands into single action. he said what they did was take off the gas assembly, plug it, and replace the front sight?
he said with m2 ball it jumped from 2100 fps, to 2300 fps
he said they used irons most of the time, being DRM and all

another gently caress gently caress trick they used was taking a 1/32 bit and boring a hole in the tip of their rounds. they were called 'screaming banshees'. someone make a video of this.
he said " the chinks, if they heard a sound not native, they assumed it was a demon"

i talked to him about all kinds of poo poo for an hour, when i should have been doing real work. it was pretty cool.

Hamburger helper is, after buying the required hamburger and milk, about $5 for enough food for two meals.

Boon's farm raspberry flavored poo poo-wine is a delightfully girly drink, costs $3 for a 750ml bottle that's 7% by volume, and if you really want to ride the drunk posting train to ban-ville you can drop a shot of $6 per fifth hobo-grade rum in it without destroying the fine bouquet and flavor of the wine.

Just saying.

A lot of people feel the same way about Yugo SKSes with all the Serbian cross graffiti and the ethnic militia implications. I can see how someone would be uncomfortable with guns from either side of lovely ethnic conflicts no matter what part of the world.

what if the conflict wasn't ethnic?
what if it was economic
no one seems to have a problem owning mosins that may have seen pogroms

what im saying is that guns are designed to kill, milsurp has a higher likelihood of having killed a person, innocent or no, than bubbas remington 710
