If Europe relaxes gun restrictions, will it hurt gun prices?
No_0ne replied to Ronald_55's topic in General Chat
It's a moot question. There's no foreseeable set of circumstances that would lead to a loosening of restrictions in Europe, in fact the opposite response is the most likely outcome of any changes in laws regarding firearm ownership there ... -
Adding that one expensive firearm to the collection...

Bingo. Original configuration, captured during the Russo-Japanese war of 1905. No crossbolt in the stock; early flat sights calibrated for the 200 gr roundnose version of the 7.62x54r cartridge as introduced in 1891; sling swivel on the magazine, the other end of the sling would have attached either to a corresponding swivel on the front band or with a hook attached to the sling which was hooked across the front band screw, there's still some question as to when the Russians switched to the latter arrangement. What you don't see in this picture is the Japanese characters inscribed in the heel of the stock identifying it as Japanese property, or the fact that this particular rifle has all Sestroryetsk parts marked according, an original matching rifle.

I am currently working just outside the path of totality, so hopefully a short drive will cover it for me. I won't make definitive plans until much closer to the date, as noted above weather can have significant impact on viewing conditions. If necessary, I'll fly to wherever optimal viewing conditions can be found ...

The size of the hailstone created has more to do with the time spent in the cloud than the size of the original droplet. In more severe storms the stone can get pulled up repeatedly, each time forming a new layer of ice, however most stones pick up their layers through the process of accretion, either by contact with super-cooled droplets which have not yet turned solid, passing through layers of water vapor, or even by combining with smaller stones already formed. In each case, time spent in the freezing layers determines the size of the final hailstone ...

My utilities, phone, and whatever else I could get on it have been drafted since way before there were e-checks, internet, or anything remotely similar. It's kind of a set and forget thing, the bills get paid on time, I don't have to screw with them, no fees get charged, everybody's happy ...

I can't help you with a quote, as my experience in this is decades old and I'm not up on current pricing. What I can tell you is to avoid any estimates on price per square foot, as it's one of the most useless methods for estimating construction costs, due to the vast differences in what people consider a "typical" home. Get in touch with some builders who are active in the area, they are much better equipped to give some ballpark estimates if you can provide some minimal expectations as to what you are interested in ...

Spam can ammo - Do I need an opener????

That shipment was most of 2 containers that Bob Bowman of Florida manged to get out of Ukraine a while back. The uproar there has pretty much shut down all shipments of 7.62x54r out of that country for the foreseeable future. SG probably had that ad up by mistake, a newer version of the ad had it for about $280 per crate, the old one was still visible to members when they posted the ammo. Both the ammo and the ad were gone very quickly, that shipment was the first to the US in over 2 years, none since. Unless something changes radically in the world, those prices are most likely gone for good. A lot of the old Comm-bloc countries sold out of this ammo several years ago, it's not available out of Russia since the Clinton years, anything that comes out of Ukraine will wind up in the middle east as they are paying 70 cents and up per round for it. There are a few other places that still have some, but bad logistics, political concerns, and supply and demand pretty much preclude the old prices being seen again. -

It was a good episode, but I thought they gave some plot points away throughout the show. Saw Sasha's ploy coming, as well as the Benedict Arnold move by the Dumpster Divers, still overall a good way to wind up the season.

Tear it up, throw it away. Do the same with the followup letters, including those from the collection agency they sell the ticket to. They give up after a while.

I agree that the shipping cost in the post I quoted above does sound unrealistically expensive, but from what I've gathered throughout the years, the other prices are typical, again depending on exactly where you are importing from. As for the dealers who bring them in by the thousands, they are normally already set up to do these types of importation by virtue of being bonded importers, with the right type of FFL license as well as ATF and customs credentials.
