    East German Makarovs

    in Curio, Relics and Black Powder

    Posted

    Well My Tok was a 762x25 and as I got older it became a handful for me to shoot and I sure hated selling it but wanted someone to have it that could enjoy it like I did and I didn't want to make it a Safe Queen.


    I understand that! I have committed to myself to not have or keep safe queens. I either just won’t buy it or will sell or trade one if it becomes that.

    I can only compare Bulgarian to East German. Function is smoother and tighter on the EGs I have used compared to the Bulgarians and when in unmolested condition the EG finish is nicer. Generally I like the size/weight/balance of the Mak as well as the fixed barrel. And I like the price points on them.

    Need a break seriously

    It is a tough calling for sure but can also be a rewarding too once the race has been run. My wife and I are also involved in a situation that could develop into one like the one you are facing.

    I would add a couple things:

    1. I happen to work for a national company that provides exactly the type of care you are talking about. I will PM a contact closer to you to speak with. They may not be able to serve Newport but they can answer that and regardless can be a good resource for information on options, programs, etc in East TN.

    2. Seek out family caregiver support groups via churches, facilities, etc. You all need the support they can provide you.

    3. One funding option that might apply, and that very few know about, is for veterans and surviving spouses, and is called the Aid and Attendance benefit. Like anything with the government it involves a slow application process and it is income and asset based. Worth looking at potentially!

    ...Hit send too fast. If you like golf the course up at Kenlake State Resort is ok and there are some courses around Murray that are ok too. Lots of mini golf. I am not a fisherman but the fishing is generally good and you can get some local advice on where currently. The Homeplace at LBL is interesting too.

    Swiss K31

    in Curio, Relics and Black Powder

    Posted

    I bought a Swiss 1911 Long from classic and just got it about 3 days ago.  Holy crap the trigger on it is amazing.  Haven't had it out on the range yet, but with the long sight radius, and that trigger, I can't imagine it being hard to hit the bullseye with


    I am pretty certain even if the deal for the K11 carbine works out this week I will want to check out a long rifle eventually as well. It may be 2018, but I think it will end up happening. I think I like the genre!

    Not the biggest fan of classic because they've been upping the prices of their rifles, but they do have GP11 in stock.  
    Congrats on the K31, I've been wanting another one, but been trying to get a complete Schmidt Rubin rifle collection before doubling up


    I might have a line on a K11 so maybe I can add that one to the fold and compare it against the K31 and the Finns. The Finns might still have some fight left in them so the comparison may not be over just yet!

    Hoping for a better deer season

    in Hunting and Fishing

    Posted

    I can't complain too much about last season. It was my first ever deer season and I put one in the freezer. I am anxious this season about having a place to hunt but at the same time I have seen 2 sizable 8 pointers among others right behind my house. So maybe I can get at least one in the freezer again this season.

    If you don't already have a Swedish mauser, they are on par with the k31s and m39s

    I don't currently have one. I did have one at one time, and it did shoot well for sure. At this point I will likely hold out and keep my eyes open for a Finn marked one. I need to add another caliber like I need an extra hole in my head!
