This ammo was also apparently the rumored "second shipment" that's been inbound for a while now, the major importers are all saying there's none in the pipeline for now ...

Sportsmans Guide also ran a "flash sale" for this ammo at $189 per crate for members, thus the quick sell-out ...

  The M39 was chambered and rifled specifically for standard 7.62x54r ammunition, in addition to being able to shoot the Finnish 7.62x53 round.  This was due to the fact that the Finns were involved in the war against the Soviet Union, experience in the earlier Winter War of 1939 had shown them that they could expect to capture and use standard Russian ammunition, earlier Finn variants had a chamber that was tighter than optimal for the Soviet ammo thus the change for the M39.  Most (not all) of the earlier weapons were also re-chambered during this period to fire x54r (the "D" mark on the barrels indicates this), thus unless the guns were sited differently at later dates the standard 147 gr milsurp ammo is what it was designed for.  Having said all that, most Mosin variants "like" the heavy ball ammo mostly because it was normally made to better specifications, being the Soviet version of "match" ammo ...

  The rifles that Classic has been marketing for a couple of months are the John/Pat Burns M39's, sometime late last year Classic negotiated the purchase of their remaining stock.  Pat Burns has had a few sell on Gunbroker since then, mostly those on antique receivers as well as some "parts guns" so she obviously held back a few, but the Wholesale Guns and Ammo site has none listed since the sale to Classic.

  I doubt it will make any difference who is elected.  The importation bans on military surplus from Russia were enacted during both the Clinton and Bush presidencies, some are in fact voluntary trade agreements between Russia and the US and were originally supported by domestic gun and ammunition manufacturers.  Even if the next president is an ardent supporter of gun rights the conditions which have precipitated the current shortage of 7.62x54R aren't going to change in the near future ...

If the noise is emanating from a seam or along a wall (where there may not necessarily be a joist) sometimes pouring something like Dawn dishwashing detergent will stop the squeak by providing some lubrication between the joint ...

  It wasn't necessary.  The US has had a ban on milsurp ammo from Russia for many years, the ammo imported here in the last 2 decades or so has been from the former Comm-block countries of Eastern Europe or Ukraine.  The supply in Eastern Europe is either exhausted or is being sold to various factions in the Middle East for more money that it sells for in the US while pretty much nothing is being exported from Ukraine since the latest dust-up there. Obama hasn't had to take any new actions to cut off supply of 7.62x54R to the US, conditions around the world have already done that ...

Sportsmans Guide got a container in about a month ago, when they ran it at $284 per crate it sold out quickly.  As far as I know that's the first shipment on 7.62x54R that's made it here in well over a year with no more due in in the foreseeable future ...

Classic has the only remaining primary market M39's left, as they purchased the rest of the rifles that John Burns imported directly from Finland in the late 90's.  As for the "brand", get what you want, the VKT's are rarer than the SAKOs but a lot of people favor the SAKO rifles as that's a recognizable stamping from the later rifles they made for the civilian market, VKT was the Finnish state arsenal and never produced later rifles for civilian sales.  An unscrubbed Eagle is pretty much luck of the draw, a lot of the M39's are scrubbed but some managed to miss that particular modification. The hang tag is of interest to collectors, but it's not something that is highly valued.  From what I've seen of the M39's that Classic has left in stock, you are more likely to get a post-war refurbed rifle ( a "pretty" one) by choosing the SAKO option, a lot of the VKT's seem to be in wartime condition with the requisite "character marks" normally associated with those guns.  Those are the ones I normally look for, I like the "been there and done that" look myself ...

  Over and over and over again ....

I've had the review page for those bookmarked for years, many classics on that page ...

  According to the comments in the video, the pistol was built using steel tube to fabricate a "new" receiver from a de-milled Mosin, thus avoiding the necessity of a tax stamp (their interpretation, not mine).       Bubba.  'Nuff said ...

  Easy, he's a long lost descendant of Houdini ...           Because they don't keep babies in jail, just bad guys who break out and escape almost as often as the bad guys on the old "24" series ...     BTW, I want to know what type of batteries are in all these cars they keep firing up, obviously I'm buying the wrong brands ...

  Took a while to figure out what was causing that I see ...

As others have said, the load data is a good average, based on results form their test platform.  Longer barrels, variations in seating depth, crimp (or no crimp), chamber shapes and distance to the lands in your particular gun will all cause variances from the published data.  Chrono your results, record the data, work loads up slowly and stay within the published parameters and you should be fine.

What DaveTN said, however there are some local shops that won't accept a C&R, others that will want to run a background check anyway.  The online stores who regularly deal in C&R guns (Classic, AIM, SOG, etc.) will file your info as they would any transfer between FFL's, in fact most of them have a system by which you can upload a copy of your certificate in advance, then your subsequent purchases will automatically pull the document up when you checkout.

  Now that I think about it, that was right around the time I I decided it was time for a much shorter hairstyle ...

  And it's about time, another 8 weeks like the first half and it will be time to pull the plug ...     Agreed.

Good plan.  Tires are a lot cheaper than lawsuits ...

If the purchase is from an 01 FFL their records are processed as normal.  If the purchase is from an individual or another 03 FFL then the only records are the bound book(s) ...

  Not to mention when the pressure pump you're using ruptures directly overhead, drenching your hair in the stuff.  Especially in the "long-hair" days of the 70's ...

  You might be right, but I suspect we'll never know, as this ship won't be built.  As an aside, the four promenade suites on the original Titanic cost $4350 per one-way passage (that works out to about $100 000 in today's dollars), Bruce Ismay occupied three of these, the other was unsold for the voyage ...

This article is describing a fantasy which exists only in tales from the proposed owner, who also happens to be currently under investigation of fraud allegations ...   As pointed out earlier, modern cruise ships make their money on passenger volumes far larger than a Titanic sized ship could ever carry, with amenities that most of the steerage passengers of that era couldn't imagine.  The novelty of traveling in a time capsule like the proposed ship might carry it for a while, but if that sort of travel made financial sense the current ships would have never been built the way they are ...
