AIM has 91/30's back in stock http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F3MOSIN9130  

Hmmm.  Since many Federal programs seem to be sacred cows to most of our legislators, does that mean they are really closet Hindus?

... where's ole' Joe McCarthy when we really need him...

This guy usually has Lee stuff in stock, refreshes his inventory regularly   http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?177853-New-batch-of-LEE-stuff-is-here!   had the 3 die sets in as of yesterday.

Aren't they all?

...doorjambs are your friend...

...maybe they should have revoked it under that "mentally defective" clause...

While I'm absolutely sure that all politicians love new tax revenue (grease for new earmark passage) I'm not sure gun sales would amount to much.  There are @ 300 million firearms in this country.  Let's say that 10% pass through private untaxed sales annually (I would be surprised if it's that high, but bear with me a sec).  That's 30 million potential sales.  At an average price of $500 each, total gross sales would be $15 billion.  Figure an average tax rate (sales, use, property, whatever) of 10%.  You just raised $1.5 billion in taxes.  Chump change, not worth the effort for the average politician in Washington.

  I will be glad to take more detailed pics, but I have to borrow a better camera (and maybe a better photographer) first.  It has the type 2 barrel bands, front is NEW marked, haven't removed the rear yet to see.  Front band screw retainer is missing, rear is complete but is right-hand threaded (maybe it's US made?) as opposed to Russian left-hand threads.  Only visible cartouche or mark I can see on the buttstock is a Finn maker's mark, buttplate is badly scratched and scrubbed from what I can see.  PM me for specific pic needs and I will try to get you what you need.

My first Mosin, first milsurp. A WWI era Russian battle rifle manufactured in the US, used by the Finnish army (against the Red army in WWII ?), then imported back into the US. I think it's cool...

... or a spine...

"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burdens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger, that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights."      - Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1890

In order to help assuage your feelings of guilt, I'll take those nasty $12 PMags off your hands! :usa: Seriously, if you are going to be selling anyway, the fact that someone else is willing to pay exorbitant prices is their problem, not yours. 

AIM just sold over 2000 91/30 complete stocks through their site.  They are out now, but there should be a lot of them floating around, the website price was $20 each or 3/$50.  Just a FYI if you decide to go back "stock" with it.

"For those who love to live in fear of their impending doom there are plenty more dates to put in your diary for a possible apocalypse. US bible scholar F Kenton Beshore says he has unlocked secrets from the good book revealing the world will come to an end after 2018, with the return of Jesus. Deceased psychic Jeane Dixon was an adviser to President Reagan and claimed to have predicted the assassination of John F Kennedy; she also claimed Armageddon would happen in 2020.  (note: Dixon previously predicted that the world would end on Feb. 24th, 1962.) While most predictions revolve around the return of Christ, as prophesised in the Bible, the Kurdish Sunni Muslim theologian Said Nursi estimated the world would end by 2129. The physicist Frank J Tipler claimed to have scientific proof of the existence of God and announced in 2007 that the second coming of Christ will take place in the next 50 years, meaning the apocalypse will coincide with another scientific prediction - technological singularity. Some computer scientists have speculated that the singularity will take place in 2045. This is the emergence of greater-than-human super-intelligence through technology beyond which events cannot be predicted. Scientists have speculated that the emergence of super-intelligent computers could spell the end for humanity. Another situation hypothesised by scientists is the grey goo scenario in which self-replicating robots consume all matter on earth, in the course of building copies of themselves. The theory is used to illustrate the potential dangers of nanotechnology. In 5,000,000,000 AD scientists predict the sun will swell into a red giant destroying the earth, and in ten duotrigintillion years the universe will meet its ultimate fate, a state in which it can no longer sustain processes that consume energy."

Local librarians are also a good source, as they regularly have books repaired. Some of them even do it themselves, our local school librarian once repaired a binding for me.
