From a Bollywood production called Endhiran... The leading lady is pretty smokin' hot as well! Cheers! M2

Desperately trying to be funny...and failing!

No, this is not me and my wife... Cheers! M2

It didn't fall off. Listen a little more closely and you'll hear the corresponding gunshot behind him! On a different note, this is my oldest boy shooting our newly-acquired SAR-1 last Sunday: Cheers! M2

This probably should go in the "WTF?' thread, but since it's gun related I'm posting it here... Keep an eye on the third guy from the left in the front row, starting at about :40 in this video: MF'er barely flinched! I don't know WTF kind of firing party that is, I've never seen one shoot straight up from the shoulder like that! Cheers! M2

Actually, SWMBO quit worrying about other women years ago; now she's more concerned about the number of guns I have (she thinks they total around 20! You can bet your ass I don't correct her on that! ) But my Frau is like yours, couldn't tell an AK from a Mosin; it's my overly talkative 13-yr-old son who's the OPSEC nightmare!

Shack!

Where in the hell are they training them? Currahee?

Video here.

Porkchop, if it helps tell her I'm actually making three gun purchases in a one-week period...the TCP, the SAR-1 and a Yugo SKS with the name 'Natasha' carved into the stock that I am picking up on Tuesday because I am a sucker for trench art! But this information is classified SECRET//NOFRAU! Cheers! M2

We took the TCP and SAR-1 out to the range today, and I am happy to report that both performed exceptionally! First, the TCP. Wow, what can I say? Compared to the Kel-Tec P3AT, it's night and day! Despite being the same size and caliber, the TCP is a lot easier to manage and definitely more accurate! We only put 25 rounds through it (and three different brands of ammo), five of which were JHPs; but it ate everything we fed it! I was concerned prior to shooting it that the JHPs would be a problem, but not so. The slide locking back after the last round is nice (I don't think the LCP does that, and the Kel-Tec didn't even have a way to lock the slide on it!). About the only negative is that it is tough to release the slide lock, but it's easily done by pulling back on the slide to release it so I don't consider that an issue. I'd recommend anyone looking for a pocket pistol to check out the TCP, I haven't shot a LCP but I don't see how it could beat the Taurus! As for the SAR-1, it shot like a champ as well! It has a little trigger-slap to it (as do most AKs that don't have G2 trigger groups on them), but that was about it. It shot well (just a tad low), put nice round hole in the target (no keyholing), and about the only thing I might have to do to it is put a para chord wrap on the stock for a better cheek weld. Outside of that, I'm very happy with it! Cheers! M2

T-bonez Yeah, it was imported by Century but built by Cugir; a major difference. SAR-1s are (I am told) "still the only true military issue AK variant allowed into the USA because the ATF goofed on their own infringements when they let it in." The only problem is that to legally import them, the bayonet lugs had to be grounded off, and the barrel is not threaded (but it can be easily done, from what I've read). But that barrel is chromed as is the gas piston, so it should hold up quite nicely! We might get out to the range tomorrow, if the weather holds up! Cheers! M2

Those Japanese are some crazy fuckers for sure! Cue the video... Yep, fucking crazy! Cheers! M2

Damn, been on a spending spree lately! I haven't even shot the last gun I bought (the TCP), and I go and pick this Romanian SAR-1 at the gun show this morning... I was looking for a Polish AK-74 Tantal sidefolder but saw this and figured since I have so much 7.62x39 I might as well get it instead! Cheers! M2

It may have not prevented it, but it sure as hell could have ended it sooner! As the article stated, the "suspect" had his pistol jam; had that not happened God knows how many people he could have shot/killed! Uka could have easily caused a much higher casualty count. We also exhibited poor OPSEC especially if the bus was of the typical "Blue Bird" type. We displayed a predictable pattern that was easily observable. It is not known if Uka had done any surveillance prior to the incident, but if he had it would have been easy for him. It is nearly impossible to prevent this kind of attack, but you can sure has hell significantly reduce the threat and vulnerability, and therefore the risk, of it happening. I hope the death of these two airmen was not in vain, that we take a better look at our day-to-day activities from a FP/AT perspective. Otherwise, we are simply going to see similar attacks in the future... to the two airmen that lost their lives, SrA Nicholas J. Alden and A1C Zachary R. Cuddeback!

That was on Tosh.0 this week...

I take it you haven't been down to the border with Mexico lately... How's it different from any other base where the commander is too bat-shit scared to allow people to carry personal firearms to work and leave them in their car? Uniforms are targets because the low-life criminals know they can't carry weapons on base (Texas law allows any law-abiding citizen to carry concealed in their vehicles under the Motorist Protection Act of 2009). And despite what some claim US Code Title 18 §930 (Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities) states, it clearly defines the restrictions as applying to facilities (defined as buildings) and not bases! Now thanks to the asshat up at Hood we all have to take "Active Shooter" CBTs on how to run away at the sound of gunfire. I'd rather be armed and put a few well-placed rounds into the threat, and I am willing to risk my life to do so! [/RANT] x 2 Cheers! M2

It ain't about how old I am, it's about how old I feel/act/look! If you can score a nice M39 at a decent price (I think I paid $300-350 for mine), you'll be very happy with it! The Finns did some awesome things with that rifle, and they don't have the old Russian mentality of basic and heavy. They knew how to "fine-tune" the Mosin into an excellent rifle. It's worth the price to add one to your collection! Cheers! M2

T-bonez It's most likely lasted 60-100 years now, it'll probably outlast both you and I! Seriously, I have never heard of anyone shooting out the barrel of a Mosin. Honestly, it'll most likely pit out before it'll wear out. And I have a Finn M39 and love it. It's the Mosin the Russians should've made! Cheers! M2

I got it used from a bud for $250, plus another $80 for eight boxes of ammo (to include one box of JHPs). It had about 200 rounds down it without a single FTF/FTE. I hated my P3AT, but I have high hopes for the TCP! Cheers! M2

I knew it was bound to happen...I just snagged one of these tonight... It was a target of opportunity. I also got eight boxes of ammo for it, so I will see if my hatred for .380 was truly the Kel-Tec P3AT or if it's the round itself! Range report to follow. Oh, and tomorrow night I am shooting a Glock 22 (.40) with the SAPD. Should be fun. Cheers! M2

A little humor to start the week...an oldie but a goodie! Cheers! M2

T-bonez If you're cleared hot to get "one of each," then jump on it! Here's a old pic of my Mosin collection from about a year or so ago... As I said in my PM I've obtained a few more since then, Mosinitis can be very painful on the wallet! Cheers! M2

T-bonez You're the second person to ask me that this weekend! For your first Mosin, I'd recommend a "run-of-the-mill" 91/30 which can be had for about a hundred bucks either online or at a show. It should have the usual accouterments...dog-collar sling, bayonet (which will be a pain in the ass to remove it you install it), cleaning kit to include a rusting oiler can and a bolt take down and set up tool, and a double mag pouch. Then pick up about 100 rounds of 7.62x54R and shoot it a few times. Once you get your shoulder back into its socket, then you'll go to 7.62x54R.net and research all the other variants of Mosins available; at which point you'll send in your C&R 03 FFL paperwork and a check for thirty bucks to the ATF to which a month or so later you'll get your license to have them delivered straight to your doorstep. At this point, you'll send signed copies (do not sign the original!! ) to a list of online dealers who sell Mosins, and you'll start getting catalogs full of stuff you never knew you wanted and/or needed! But be warned, there is a serious health condition called "Mosinitis" (Google it) that involves an odd smell of cosmoline and the sudden disappearance of money from your wallet. Tell-tale symptoms include a constant need to watch Enemy At The Gates and a true understanding of this scientific comparison. Good luck with your decision, and may Ivan have mercy on your soul! Cheers! M2

WTF? Prince Charles doing a "titty-twister" on Catherine Zeta Jones?!? Can't say I blame him! Cheers! M2
