TGIF!

TGIT!

Tuesday for me. Pretty productive today. Headed for Hopkinsville, KY in the morning. Camped out in Greenwood tonight.

C'mon Mouse, everyone has a Mosin, Sks, Makarov, and a few sealed spam cans somewhere.

Used too.
Lots of Milsurps.
1st "X" did me in oh so long ago.

 

[Leadeye]

Some of us have Colts, Winchesters and Heiser.

Drinking E.H Taylor Barrel Proof tonight. 129 proof. Not an easy bottle to get. Messes you up fast. Tastes so good

Back in the day I used to visit a place down there near Ft Campbell called Kentech. Made a lot of injection molded plastic parts.

Sorry to hear that, it's a shame all the $70 mosins and $300 russian sks's dried up years ago. They hurt less to replace then.

Yeah and it still hurts 40 years later.

No. I refuse to go full on Milsurp. I will live vicariously through you nut jobs.

I will show you tempting photos, and talk history ..... you will succumb to the alter of milsurp !

The setup. This took about an hour of doing .... but keep in mind that I'm not fast these days.

And it was all done for three photos ... two of which I shall show you now.

The flip-up, calibrated rear sight. It's calibrated for up to 1,000 meters, but I'm led to understand that's optimistic, as the barrels don't have the precision rifling that they do today. Still, you could probably hit a tank at that distance, and do it with a darn big boooolit !!!

The bayonet ...... ahhh, I love the bayonet ! It's permanently attached, and when swung into position, it protrudes a full 12" beyond the muzzle. It's a pointy, cruciform style ... made to do some stabbin' !
I set it up with the brass oiler, the leather double-pouch, and a couple of 7.62 X 54 R booolits. Russian, of course !

And that concludes photo-time with MM for this evening. I hope that you enjoyed the pictures.
Milsurp respect, my gangsters ..... it's a thing !

Beautiful rifle.

Mouse is already moving in the old American West direction. Milsurps are fun, but they can't compete with JW.

Nice stuff MM. M44’s have never looked so good. I am starting to regret giving my kid my M38 now.

 

[Leadeye]

Nice MM! I love the color case hardening.

Mouse needs something like that to go with the suspenders.

Still watching The Irishman and have no idea how far along we are in the movie. It’s good, but just keeps going and going.
