Deal from AIM Surplus on Mosin-Nagants

[Badgersmilk]

My suspicion is that I could carve out an aftermarket 10/22 stock to fit the .44 Carbine.  Their VERY similar in size.  But the .44 has a tube magazine hidden in the stock under the barrel.  I know one guy tried this with a factory 10/22 stock and ended up cutting away wood to get it to fit until he cut through the bottom of the stock.    The stock I'd wanna use is the same green camo one shown here with a MN in it, but its already cut out for a 10/22.

Only thing I don't love about the .44 is the blah factory stock.

Congrats on the MN!  Your gonna love that thing after you shoot it.

Alf, while your waiting for your rifle to get there, watch the movie "Enemy at the Gates".

As shown in the movie, at least at one point during the war the Russians were so short on weapons that they gave out a single rifle per a few troops...  Told them "When the guy holding the rifle gets shot.  Pick it up!"  Wanna argue?  They just shot you themselves.

Ah I see what you're up to.    You just have to carve slowly.  Having the correct tools helps, too.   I'd like to think that someday I cold make one from scratch.

I love Enemy at the Gates.   (The fact that Rachel Weisz is in it is irrelevant...........not.)
I do remember that scene with the shortage of weapons.    I think being the 3rd or 4th person in line would be a pretty safe place.  You'd have a couple of people running "blocker" for you and hopefully you could make it to the trench alive.

It's coming tomorrow.  Checked and it's already at the local UPS depot.

SO. I took off early so I could practice sitting by the door waiting for the UPS driver.  I'm doing good so far.  But may need a little more practice this afternoon.

$5 says you're in the head when he knocks.

What are you trying to do to me!?  As it is I've got 20 some guns squished into a 14 gun safe, and buying another safe before the wife gets her new dresser...  Lets just say that would go badly for me. 

Yeah, I'm with Quaker.  $5 either your taking the browns to the super bowl, or in the shower when Big Brown Truck comes a knock'n alf!

Amen to that. My GF at the time - a raging aggressive hetero I will add (stories about her I could tell would make even FQ blush!  ) - got so turned on watching Rachel's white butt wriggle out of those commie britches, that . . . .

Let's just leave it at that, shall we? ? ? ? ? 

Alf - Buy the damn dresser already, then get a good vault door and put it on the basement. Should solve your gun supply problems. For a while anyhow . . .

Okay all you very evil perverts.  And you rest of you are worse.

It arrived.  Satisfied?  Huh?  I now own one.     Never guess where I was when it got here.  My wonderful trophy wife had to sign for it.   See below.

Greasy sucker.  Didn't fully strip it but got most of the grease off and cleaned the barrel.  No hurry as I won't get to the range with it for 2 weeks.  (And why they filled the bayonet hole with grease is beyond me.   Just get the barrel clean.  Stick on the bayonet and....  B L O P ... a glob of grease big enough to cover the whole gun...grrrr)    I'll post some pictures tonight.   I wish the importer didn't have to stamp it, but at least it's very neatly done on one facet of the receiver.  Laser etch I think.   They also assigned their own serial number.   Well it's more of a cheap shooter/toy than a historic collectible.  Original Russian s/n was 056xxx.  My I guess "official" BATF s/n is 1010xxx.  Which they put on the bolt and receiver.   1932 proof mark.  I guess a real collectible would be one that service in WW I and didn't have the importers stamp.

Fun fun.  Now to find ammo at the upcoming gun show.





For those who care....or not.....I was at the doctor's office where she was carving up my weak hand index finger.   Seems I got some shrapnel in the finger without realizing it.  Biological not mineral (or metal) we think.  And it had brought with it some bateria friends.    It had festered and swollen badly.  Nothing like have your finger hacked on without the anesthesia.    Her excuse was giving me Novocaine would hurt worse than the minor surgery, because of the swelling and sensitivity.    I SAID, there very little I can't endure with the proper application of intravenous Valium.    She's the doc, I lost.  At least I got a really big bandage to take advantage of the sympathy factor.
