^This. Modern hydros don't react well to being "dragged", without being placed in the "tow" position first. It doesn't take much to shell them internally doing this ...

I was 8. I wanted to stay up and watch the actual egress from the lander, but Mom was adamant that it would be way too late for me to stay up and I could see it in the morning. I found out the next day that Armstrong went out at about 10 pm, which even though was later than my usual bedtime, wasn't out of the question for summer. I still haven't forgiven my mother ...

The days of "much" being imported are over. There are some occasional shipments trickling in, mostly from private sales overseas to locators for bonded importers, they make a lot of treks around Europe seeking out old milsurps for sale on the private market and when they have enough stockpiled to make a shipment, they send them over. Apparently a very small shipment of Mosins made it in from Ukraine last year, and a few similar rifles from the former Yugoslavia states and Albania have also made it over in the last 2 or 3 years, but it's a tiny trickle, at best ...

Probably not. I've often thought that every one of these show the effects of bored Chinese soldiers who sat around beating the hell out of their rifle stocks ...

Amazon just filed the initial docs for a new low-orbit satellite system to provide internet connections from space. Apparently this is a thing for several companies, their are 4 or 5 different ones all planning on the launch of anywhere from 1000 to 12000 of these satellites to enable most of the world access to broadband internet. It's going to get quite crowded up there ... Amazon's Kuiper project

I just rebuilt an older (@2010) desktop for use in my shop. I did install a new SSD in place of the old harddrive, loaded a fresh copy of Win 10 and used my old Win 7 key to activate. No problems whatsoever, albeit when I built this one originally I put a pretty good CPU (for that time) in it. As for the changeover to Windows 10, as usual with a new OS it took a few days and some online research for me to get comfortable with it, but now I've come around to the idea that I like it at least as well as Win 7 ...

I wish I could see clay birds at 100 yards ...

Have the local power company come out and run a test on your transformer and inlet lines. Sometimes there are problems with the supply voltage, leakage, etc. which can be worsened by storms and routine surges.

As someone who generally enjoys the TV series, but has never seen the comic books, when did they stop issuing them?

Those prices are normal, in 2019 ...

They went so well with the "Corinthian leather" interiors ...

At $200 in it, you did fine. As for 'real life value", Finn'ed 91/30's usually bring about whatever the going rate on the Russian refurbs is. People who are into markings might pay a slight premium for the 41 stamps, but as a rule, these rifles don't seem to sell as well as the better known Finn variants ...

For a fast application, mix whatever concoction you want to spray in an orchard sprayer. This is a plastic siphon-style sprayer found in most big-box stores. I use pure bleach, when siphoned through your hose it dilutes it accordingly. Apply wet, let it work for a few minutes, wash with pressure washer. As noted, an RV brush will take care of any really heavy areas.

In a lot of places in Tennessee, that used to be kind of a requirement to work in the Sheriff's office ...

Easy. Let one of the current 20-odd Democratic POTUS candidates get elected, and the dollars will start raining in again ...

Looks like there's a lot of Swiss rifles available in Knoxville ...

How many Rocky/Rambo sequels can they come up with? I pretty much dropped out after the first 2 or 3 of each, what's this one anyway, Rambo 47?

Lots of reasons. Warehousing and storage and other forms of overhead, the possibilities of laws/customs regulations changing, economy of scale, all factors which will provide impetus for importers to move lots of guns in the shortest amount of time. It's basically the model the whole industry was built on, from Bannerman's through Sam Cummings to Classic/SOG/AIM today ...

Since I made that last post, Classic did send out an email with some cans at $150 ...

And here is some surplus ammo for your Mosins. First spam cans I've seen in stock in nearly 2 years ... Unobtanium cans

When I flew a UAS, it was a DJI Phantom 3 Pro. Bought it for use in my work at the time, enjoyed playing around with it as well.

Sling is like a basic cable/dish service, depending on the package you get several channels on the basic plans ("colors"), plus whatever add-ons you choose . One great thing about streaming TV, if you don't like your package, you can cancel or change it pretty much at will. For example, I subscribe to HBONow for as long as GOT is showing, then cancel immediately after. Same for several other services I have used throughout the years. Roku also allows you to have a single interface for all your different services, both my Netflix and Amazon video have "tabs" on the Roku page, or I can access them using the smart TV or computer interfaces as well.

Good looking rifle. I'm not a Mauser guy, I take it the Syrian variant is one of the rarer iterations?

Agreed, but $450 M39’s are more difficult to find ...
