Did your wife ever find out you sold her ring?was trying to figure out how I being broke as hell could figure out how to get $300 for an ak.
Funny thing. This story happened back in 06. So I wasn't married.Did your wife ever find out you sold her ring?
Sounds like a good trade to me!Funny thing. This story happened back in 06. So I wasn't married.
Years later I was married. Then divorced. She left her ring behind.
I sold it and bought a s&w m&p 1522
Needless to say I'm much happier with the rifle.
I have noticed in several pictures I have seen of American troops carrying AK's, 47 or 74 I don't know which but I'm curious of the rational, can someone explain?
I can't post any specific pictures but over a period of time I have seen several. Do they just like them better or what?
A friend of mine was in the Army 40+ years ago.
He told me of seeing guys qualifying with the AK47.
I want to say it had something to do with them being in intelligence work.
(I'll have to ask him next time I see him and have home refresh my memory)
If memory serves, it had something to do with being less detectable in enemy areas where the AK47 was the common weapon of the enemy.
I'M SURE there's people here who know a lot more about this than I do who could chime in.
Were those service members doing the SF Q Course to get familiar with foreign nation's weapon platforms?
We have long history of using foreign weapons since the War of Independence, but unless we have photos, hard to say.I have noticed in several pictures I have seen of American troops carrying AK's, 47 or 74 I don't know which but I'm curious of the rational, can someone explain?

Could be SOF. Could be LBGs working with SOF.
Could be cross training with allies. American troops photographed with G36s, G3s, AKs, MP5s is very common.
Could be LCpl Mack and PVT Snuffy posing with captured weapons because if I was 19 I would likely send Mary Jane the same photo.
Could be foreign weapons training: https://www.militarytimes.com/2013/...rines-take-foreign-weapons-instructor-course/
If we have photos, context and patches, we can tell you what is LIKELY happening.
Been down that road. Cost about the same for me too!It cost me over $275,000.00 for my divorce in loss income, housing, 2 Harleys, a small metal shop / business and a tubbed out S10. Well worth it.
Too old to do that now unless I plan on working until I'm 90.
that Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Battlefield pickup weapons and ammo require no accounting for rounds fired as long as the immediate senior NCO’s and LT are onboard.I may or may not have heard that some guys deployed in the most recent situation used aks because there wasn't paperwork related to shooting them. I'm not sure if that's accurate, like every payroll vehicle unofficially had one in it. There were definement plenty of stashes discovered and then posed with!
