Cheyenne is Cheyenne. As far as i know, 22lr has to be logged as it is a pistol round as much as it is a rifle round.

How true. Firearms = the new asset class. =P I just moved into Mausers.... why oh why. :cry:

as good as... 8uJouw9uh84

I will look at some russian newspapers to see. but look, lets be honest. It is an AK. You can dress up a pig any way, it is still bacon. It will be ultra reliable. The modifications, sure, bigger mag, new rail, new flash hider, maybe a nicer barrel.

On the 91/30's, doesnt really matter, and not difficult to find. Reason why, when most were rearsenaled/refinished, they were all forced matched. Some were electropencil matched, most were restamped. On the other variants, very difficult to get fully matching, but not on the 91/30's. All of the 91/30's I have, or have owned, are all numbers matching. If you buy online $89 to $100, pay shipping, ($20), pay transfer + nics ($40), you are better off finding one local from a vendor, from a forum member, or go to any Pa gun show.... $100 for the gun, plus $7 tax, $5 pics/nics, $6 show admission (with $1 coupon), $5 gas and tolls. and you are at $120 to $130 and you pick your own gun.

check out gunbroker, and sometimes on the forums. I purchased mine though at a gun show.... I believe it was, yes, it was the show up at Split rock lodge in the poconos, next to jack frost big boulder. bought it from eagle arms. the following weekend I purchased my swiss K31 from them at the allentown show at the roadway inn? I am excited though about this weekend and will be heading to the kings caterers show in Bristol. in 95% of the cases, you can get better deals from friendlier people on the forum, however you cannot beat the gunshows for the simple fact that you can see varying examples. The downside is... is it worth driving over the bridge, er river, paying tolls, paying the gun show entry fee, walking around looking for something to buy.... and in the case of valley forge shows... get food poising. Add in pics/nics + tax, and often times you are paying a good percentage more than buying it from someone on the forum.

bingo. I have 3 powder measures now, granted they are lee, so dont have to spend $80 on each. For the handgun calibers I load, it is the same powder, W231, and for rifle calibers, i use either IMR 4895, Reloader 15, or IMR 8208 across all rifle calibers I load, 223 and 308, and soon to be 7.62x54, 8mm, 7.5 swiss, and perhaps 7.7 jap. but in any case... I use one powder in one powder measure, I dont mix them.... anymore. lol.

M39 and 91/30 is basically owning a toyota camry or a lexus es 300. the car guys will get the analogy. It is the same underpinnings, ie receiver, bolt, however the two are different, with the m39 in particular as it was a brand new finn rifle as opposed to a rework, ala Finn'ed 91/30's. the M39, in particular is russian in that it only has a russian receiver and a russian bolt. That is where it stops. The stock is a 2 piece finn stock, brand new heavy finn barrel, and new stock hardware, different sights, and most newer m39's have a pistol grip type stock, as opposed to a straight grip on first gen m39's and 91/30's, and all russian Mosin Nagants for that matter. Great condition finn m39's go between $300 and $400, and are worth it. They are in most hands, the most accurate out of the box Mosin Nagant variants. 91/30's are still terrific values, and are $100 to $125 after nics. I own right now a Finn 39 that I bought only after I had 4 regular 91/30's. After that, I also purchased a Chinese type 53 variant. Hope that helps.

keep in mind, rimfire or shotguns only.

+1. I will split this topic as it has, at this point, nothing to do with the original WTS post.

poor mans version of CJ = Fort Dix & Indoor range membership at BA or SS.

Was waiting for wolfy to mention a non smith wesson gun.

prayers for the family... but what the hell is a "non-combat fatal incident?"

confederate flag? mental issues? aha.

Pete, thats because you hang out with us. =) But I agree, alot of gun folks are friendly, when together, however the people on the forum, are top notch.

nice, how old?

I dont see it as another recession. We were never out of the first one. All of the "recovery" is based largely on the artificial propping up of the economy, and the blank check with no credit limit of the government. The key question right now is... what will happen if the spending is cut off? I highly doubt we will have a collapse due to debt, but we will have much higher taxes, the question is in what type, how fast, and when?

Wait, so will you now forever ring through the metal detector? how much weight did you put on as a result of the added metal?

Ask for some Vicodin. Forget tylenol.... unless it is Tylenol B.
