BlackOps Badger

thank you, Wolfy. I think that's what I'm trying to get at. More moving parts equals a higher probability that something will fail.

Totally agree. I'm just saying that I feel that any idiot can figure out the ins and out of a bolt gun easier than they can figure out an AK or an AR. Especially when it comes to maintenance.

I was at Butch's on Saturday, and I don't think they had any M44's there. However there was a pretty nice 91/30 there. It's round receiver and I believe it was an Izzy. Not positive on the make though.

But on the other hand, any weapon is practical when you need a weapon. Another reason I think a bolt action rifle would be somewhat ideal is the lack of moving parts. Basically, there's the bolt and trigger. On a semi-auto there's a lot more that can get worn out, and everything should be oiled and clean more than a bolt action I would think. And it also depends on the circumstances. If we were talkin hurricane, and things get bad, but will be back to normal, then yes a semi-auto carbine would be fine and a Mosin may not be a great choice. But if we are talkin "28 Days Later" and there's zombies and no hope of the government saving you then I would think a bolt action would be good for its relative simplicity.

I don't think it's really slow, as much as they're doing a lot of building up. For example, I think last weeks episode was extremely tense with Chalky and that other guy in jail. I definitely think it will really start to pick up soon, though.

Butch's Gun World.

It really is a beautiful rifle. Even with the cosmo still on it. Can't wait to get it all cleaned off.

So, I just picked up a 1923 Izzy Mosin Nagant. Now here's what has me confused. Since it was made in 1923 that would tell me that it's a M91. The thing is, it has the globe front sight, and flat rear sight. Tell me what you think. Is it just an M91 that was upgraded to a M91/30, or do I have something else? Using another website, it seems I may have a Dragoon. I don't know though. Somebody gimmie a hand figuring this out.

Nice find. Enjoy it!

Haha, Well played, sir.

What if I had put an ad in the paper for a gun buyback program? Would that be legal? I only want good, working guns though... speaking of which, I'll start now: Give me your guns, I give you 25 bucks. PM me. Lol.

Fixed for ya

Haha. I didn't read that far. I saw that rare, one of a kind Garand and quit.

I found this one. First person that can tell me what's wrong with this picture gets a cookie. (Hint: Look at the Garand. Lol)

Mosin Nagant. Reasons: I have tons of ammo for it. Super reliable. Simple operation. Easy to clean and maintain. I have 4 of them. They are simple to use so I could hand one to somebody with no experience and they could use it fairly efficiently. Bayonet just in case. Also, a boat oar. lol

Anybody watch it? I thought it was pretty good. Next weeks episode looks like it'll be really good.

Lady Gaga didn't die....

What's that?

Usually when they say they will do something they follow through. I'm just wondering what scale it will be on, if anything does in fact happen. Chances are it will most likely be denial of service attacks. That's usually what they are.

No experience with these with these so I'm just curious what's up with the shift pattern?
