Moped

This sounds really fishy to me too. I'd call the main office down there and let them know what is going on.

I used to think the grips would be uncomfortable. To my eye they just didn't look right, but I got to handle one about 6 months ago and it was very comfortable to my surprise. I wish I could afford one, but it will be a while unless I sell something.

That's a nice find! Congratulations!

You really don't need a lot of tools or a shop. I really advise checking out the conversion process online. I did mine myself. Had ball doing it and learned a lot about the AK and Siaga. You will know that rifle inside and out. BTW, I'd never done anything like this before. My respect for the AK grew multiple times after seeing how simple a design it is!

Not bad looking and at a decent price. I'm sure it's a good piece. Ruger doesn't make junk.

They are all gas bags as far as I'm concerned. Matters not, if they are on the right or the left.

A Mora No. 1, No.2 or 511 makes a good neck knife, if you aren't trying to hid it. They are very light and give you a full sized handle. You also won't find a sharper knife IMO. Price is right too. None of those cost more than $10 + shipping over the internet. One place I know does $6 shipping for up to 6 knives. Can't beat that with a stick! Ragweed Forge MK, that Tenacious is a nice looking folder!

The book was by Nevil Shute and had the same title. I read it and then found out it was a movie. Here is the Amazon link. Amazon.com: On the Beach: Nevil Shute: Books I also read Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank at much the same time. I actually liked this better than On the Beach, which was darker and bellicose. Lucifer's Hammer was one of my favorites and like One Second After, really makes you think about what you need to survive and what is needed to save civilization as we know it. Lets just say that if TEOTWAWKI was to ever happen, one of my salvage runs will be to as many libraries as I can find to save as many books as I possibly can. In that situation, knowledge is going to extremely important. Maybe not at the beginning, but once everyone gets back on their feet it will be priceless.

The book as always was better. But that was a good movie. Didn't much are for the remake. Came out several years ago. Saw it on TV.

Well, no one is talking about AKs, so i will. I picked up a Saiga and then did a 922R Compliant Mod on it. They are great rifles and come out of the same factory in the Motherland as the Military AKs. So that is one option. The nice thing about doing a Saiga is you will know the rifle inside and out when you get done. Costs on these are going up, though. Arsenal probably makes the best AK on the market today. If you don't want to build one, that's probably the way to go.

Great job! I kinda like the rough finish on the Colt. Looks cool! The big thing is not necessarily what it looks like, but how it functions and shoots!

The same thing can happen to a well has happens to a waterline in an earthquake. Also you need a generator to run the pump in order to get water.

If we truly had a mental heath system in this country, that could actually make a report on someone, I'd be for a background check for this, but we don't even recognize mental issues in this country unless it has something to do with gun control or suppressing someone's ability to do something.

My personal opinion is that background checks just make sure the good guys are checked. The bad guys get their firearms from other sources.

What's wrong with the real Kabar?

I think downsizing is a great idea! I love snubbies! Can't beat'em!

I love simple knives and I got a new simple knife in the mail today. This one is a bit different than the usual stuff that's seen here. I ordered a Svord Peasant off Ebay Friday Evening and got it in the mail today. The Svord Peasant is a friction folder. It's an old design (300 or 400 years old) that has been updated. The Blade is 3 1/4" 1095 steel and is razor sharp out of the package. Handles are black plastic. $15.95 shipped. BTW, if you like great blades, checkout Svord Carbon Steel Knives. The Hand Made Carbon Steel Knife B.W. Baker designs and makes some fantastic knives!

Good deal!

I figured I'd go today. Got a Over/under I'm looking to trade or sale. Probably be there around 11 or so too.

M38/44s are hard to come by anymore. Pretty much sold them all out, though I'm sure there will be another batch come through at some point.

While you all clearly don't suck on the Government teat, so to speak, a lot still do and they are addicted. At this point, I don't see that it will ever change either. As far as the Big Oil companies making a profit, that's what business is all about. If your not in it to make a profit, then why be in business in the first place. I can't fault them for that. I want to make a lot of money too. Even if we opened everyone backyard up for drilling, that would only last so long. The world population is growing at an astounding rate and China and India now have a large middle class that are beginning to buy cars. GM sold more cars in China, than they did in the US, last year. They need oil too, and they are buying it. Supply is not increasing, and never will, while demand is growing quickly. Oil prices will continue to raise in fits and spurts, regardless of what we do. Best to start really looking at alternatives to oil now. And start thinking about how we are going to change our ways. It's just not oil either folks. World wide food prices are going up quicker than oil. We don't buy bulk foods like a lot of countries do, so we don't notice it as much. And we have been one of the bread baskets for the world. Now we are raising corn, not for food, but for fuel. Ethanol in our gas comes from corn and that's what our corn is going for. In the next 50 years, water is going to be another thing we start running out of. Look what almost happened to Atlanta a couple of years ago. And what California and Arizona go through every year now. They have to ration water, because there isn't enough to go around there. Too many people are the problem. It's a problem that isn't going to go away either.

Another rifle you want to pick up is a Mauser 98 in 8mm. They are starting to climb in price. 8mm is still fairly cheap too. I'd go ahead and get a K98 and a Vz24. Schmitt Rubins are another rifle that the price are really starting to climb. Great rifle too from what I heard!

My name is kb4ns, and I'm a Mosiholic.

Just my 2 cents, but of those three, I'd go with the Kahr. It's light and all the bugs should be worked out by now. The Kimber's new and subject to having some kinks. The Ruger is the heavier of the three and probably would require holster carry, where as the the other two are small enough and light enough to stick in a pants pocket.

They are excellent rifles. $250 was a good price.
