I'd want to shoot one before I plunked down the cash. It's interesting but not $1200 interesting without a test drive or 3.

The lever turns easy and it unlocks good dropping down about 1/4 of the way then it gets stiff and you have to 2 hand it pretty good. It's internal hammers.

Nothing like an AK made in a factory that makes nothing but AKs! I wound up selling my heavy barrel chicom AK to a friend who just had to have a good AK.

We've all seen smooth old doubles where you hit the lever and the action just slides open so smoothly. We've also seen some where you just touch the lever and they fall open.
Well I've got one that you can break it over your knee and its still a pain to open! What would you polish/buff/fluff/sprinkle with hoodoo magic to get it to open smoothly?
It's a EEA Bounty Hunter II made in Russia.

1st time granny was in the hospital there was a very nice grandmotherly lady in the other bed. Sis was flipping through the channels and told Granny "Hey Jerry's on". We used to turn it on and watch her laugh at it. Well the nice grandmotherly lady said her grandkids have been on that 3 times. Well when they came to see her they gave us the low down about it. If you got enough people and dream up a good story you can call the show and they will put you up for a week. They were working on a real doozey for their next "vacation" when their grandmother got better.

Sounds like it's time to step up to "herd of goats" and just roll with it.

Shooter's Bible and Paladin Press catalog were my 2 favorite things.

I agree that knowing what a 22lr is capable of is as important as most anything about them. I have one 22 rifle that I can drive thumb tacks with consistantly and it gets sighted in about twice a month to make sure it is still dead on. As far as reloading, I think it would not be necessary in my case because I probably have enough to shoot anything and everything I would need to shoot and still have plenty left over. I think last look I have 1 large ammo safe completely full of nothing except 22 lr and part of another and still buying every chance I get to fill the second one.
I thought you were supposed to build a fort with the boxes of 22 ammo......

Mosin 91/30s are going for around 200 these days. I would skip that and look at new-production bolt-action rifles in a common cartridge like .308. I think some of those can be had for around $250-$300. Same bolt-action benefits/limitations as a Mosin, but available in new production and w/o the oddball ammunition factor. If Trump drops the import ban on goodies from Mother Russia, Mosins might make sense again for folks who want to stockpile them.
The cheap shotgun is actually a decent choice for that purpose, but like you said, range becomes a factor. Slugs would help, but not as much as a real centerfire rifle.
Stepping up to semi-auto, SKS rifles run about 400-450+, with beat up Norincos fetching north of $300. At that price you may as well get in on the flood of cheap ARs that are on the market now. AKs are today's AR of yesterday with WASR 10s fetching $650 while entry ARs are $450'ish. It's madness!
I'd take it a step further and get a bunch of mossberg MVPs.....they take AR mags.
Then again you can build ARs now for stupid cheap so you could have a bunch of PSA parted up ARs. I think if you're building an "army" you'll want everyone shooting at least the same mags and ammo. -
Didn't work out too well for the old dude on Tremors!

I waited till the second one came out and then bought both DVD's and then sat down and poured a glass of Jack over Ice and sat there and watched both of them. I still think the 1st one was the better of the two but second one was not bad. As far as a third goes I am thinkin it is going to be a lot more bloody since he has now lost the protection of the organization when he killed the bad guy on the secrate ground right in front of the organzation leader and he told him right then that he was no longer a member and would lose that protection. That means he is an open target for any and all assassins.
Now with that said, it is not surprising that Keanu Reeves is a very good actor with firearms skills since he is an avid shooter and owns a great many different firearms and shoots regularly in real life. He does not follow the rest of the snowflakes of Hollywood when it comes to 2nd Amendment................jmho
IDK I think Winston like John more than any of the others......and he does have a hole card that will come into play in maybe Chapter 4
I will say that the 3 gun stuff didn't really tickle my fancy. While it looked cool and was executed very well it just didn't fit the character. Maybe it was the quad shell holders and then he didn't drop deuces or quads and he just halfassed it like me reloading a shotgun on the clock. He did have as good a weak hand shell stuffing reloads as I've seen anyone else have.

My google fu is weak and I've been looking for a leather or good nylon sheath for a Cold Steel TrailMaster bowie knife. Anyone got any ideas about where I could start looking?

If this were to happen and the impact is actually as severe as predicted(70-90% of population deceased) then it really doesn't matter what you have stashed. Very few of us would survive.
I think it would really boil down to how quickly the military could respond to keep the peace, assuming their equipment isn't also fried. Even then I don't have high hopes.
I agree with having some provisions at home though.
They couldn't....maybe in a few of the major cities but with that many dead there wouldn't be enough soldiers to do much. I think a lot of the books are way to "pie in the sky" on that aspect.

Randi Rogers isn't on the list and she wins any Cowboy match she goes to and does really good in IDPA.

Upstairs safe - right side up
Downstairs safe - upside down
Both were gifts from my hunny and I like the right side up for guns I use more.

Not sure about the 380s but it works like a dream on my Sheild mags. They were impossible for me to get the last rounds in when new by hand.

I say go with the 41 for the longer barrel since it's for Comps and you can make PF easier.

Hippy Thread!!!
I wasn't even alive but I'd have loved to see Jimmie play live.

Exactly... My old huntin bud loads his 45 colt to exceed 44 mag ballistics. VERY hot.
He only shoots them in his Ruger tho. I'd be especially cautious puttin something that hot in a Smith.
I got about 30 rounds of my "bear load" from when I had a Ruger Super Blackhawk. Since all I have now is a S&W629 I keep it in a very clearly marked DONT USE box.

The new Smith & Wesson.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, their "Eotech" sights appear to be on backwards.
I thought they were Trijicon reflex sights.

You don't really shoot far enough in IDPA for the sights to matter much as long as there is enough light around the front sight so you can pick it up quick for transitions to movers.
