Justice

You'll remember the great "lost job scare" of 2008 in which my group was downsized and I lost. My old boss and I were talking this afternoon, and he let slip that the guy they kept is out on long term disability. Aw shucks, they're stuck, and I'm in hog heaven. I just feel soooo bad.

Shooty Goodness

Six hundred rounds of 1953 manufacture 8mm Mauser goodness. All lead core FMJ and legal to shoot at my range. I am so looking forward to the weekend!

Horse Crossing

These folks, and several hundred others, crossed our high power range this morning. Lots of range officers on hand to keep anyone from wandering into unsafe areas. It was a nice outing for all concerned.

That's how old my new-to-me Mosin/Nagant 1891/30 rifle is. Date stamped 1929, and built in the Izhevsk arsenal, I'd sure like to know more of the story behind 50064. I just finished my first pass at getting all the cosmoline out of it, and am very pleased with the shape it's in. I've got more work to do before firing it the first time, but regardless of how it shoots, I'm happy I own it. Pictures to follow.

Milsurp Goodness

I just checked my bank account and AIM has charged my account for the Mosin-Nagant I ordered at the same time as the CZ. A significant chuck of change has also been committed to Sportsman's Guide for an ammunition shipment. Nothing for the MN, but 500 rounds of 9mm Makarov for the CZ-82, 1000 rounds of 9mm Luger for the P-01, and 600 rounds of Yugoslavian surplus 8mm for the Mauser. None of the above are available in quantity around here, and what is available is increasingly overpriced.
