OSUT 258: Better late than never....Summer Days are Near

[DoggyDaddy]

He's getting ready to post a "real" 98K now. I told him he should post the 303 Brit in the ammo forum.

Dang it. The gait belt I ordered for Susan has been delayed now. Supposed to be here Wednesday now.

I just saved someone in the classies. They had a rifle posted as a Mauser 98K that was actually a Yugo M48. They also had ammo posted with it that was actually 303 Brit ammo, not 8mm Mauser ammo. I think I've got him straightened out now. He thanked me. He just didn't know what he had.

I'm already traumatized trying to buy shoes today and you add this!!




Good job helping to sort things out.

He asked me what he should charge for the ammo, but I told him that was a tough question, since surplus 303 has gotten pretty scarce. I told him to start at 60 cents/rd and see if he gets any nibbles. It's 1958 ammo, probably Berdan primed and corrosive.

Then it dried some.

We tried a new recipe, black pepper chicken. Way too much pepper. Woke my azz up. Think I will have a couple memorable moments in my near future.

I love fresh ground black pepper. I get the little disposable grinders at Aldi. Probably not the highest quality, but much better than the pre-ground stuff.

Wow.
That's modern. Thanks for showing him the ropes and the matt.

Stuff I used to shoot was a penny a pop. Literally. Surplus store. Older!
Never one squib. Corrosive as all get out and we were warned.
Clean your rifle! That was the most fun part.

I got a bunch from CheaperThanDirt several years ago for about 30 cents/rd. and I was ecstatic. And it was Greek HXP, boxer primed and reloadable. I used some of the brass to make 30-40 Krag cases. It's great brass.

I'm gonna go ahead and take my shower and head to bed. Back to work (but from home) tomorrow. G'night all!

 

[BeDome]

Rest well, DD.

 

[BeDome]

Heading down soon as well.

Good night all.

I made shish kabobs on the grill. I think I added more red pepper chips than usual to my marinade. Had a little zing. Good summer supper after BLTs for lunch. The tomatoes are wonderful. That's a dinner plate under that baby.
