Wat's Guns-N-Stuff Thread

Yeah, if it looks even close to mil-spec they want to classify it as a "military collectible." Fuck'em. There's a shit pot of 'sporterized' Mausers out there, many not well done, that have no collectible value at all. BUT, the actions are what counts and you can turn them into anything you want. You'll find those in the gun stores and pawn shops, mostly in rural areas. The most desirable actions are pre-'43 Wafenfabric (Mauser), BRNO, and La Coruna. That is not to say the others are trash, merely that those are the best.
Both of my main game-killing guns are dubiously-sporterized surplus rifles: Turkish Mauser and Lee-Enfield. The pigs and whitetail don't seem to care, but I have considered taking one or both to a gunsmith.

One of my host families in rural Southeast Asia would sometimes let me go hunting with them. That's actually where I learned to shoot. My own family, of course, detests anything to do with firearms and game hunting and most of them see me as the blackest of apostates for enjoying both. Which is kind of amazing given that I had a great-grandfather who was once a well-renowned safari hunter and endangered species conservationist.

Wandering through the jungle and blasting muntjac with an antique Chassepot rifle was fun. It's a shame that Uberti or the like doesn't make any reasonably-priced reproductions of that weapon, or instead of the Argie FN-49 I might have moved in the opposite direction, tech-wise.
 
Got a call from the FFL. The M1 has arrived/landed. And he doesn't have a show this weekend, so I'll go over to his place and do the deal, so to speak.


Praises to Allah for all of his Manifold Blessings and Great Mercies as well as his General Beneficence.


This is why Wat is his favorite and you're not.

The moment you realize that all wat says and stands for is nothing but bullshit.
 
I’ve lived a life long enough to see Reagan Republicans who stoked fears of America being irrevocably changed by democratic leadership and the coming cancer of socialism lovingly embracing Russian authoritarianism as a solution to our capitalist ills.

Гнило́й фаши́стской не́чисти
Заго́ним пу́лю в лоб,
Отре́бью челове́чества
Сколо́тим кре́пкий гроб!
 
Any fucking REAL MEN here tonight ?


This one was asleep so he can be alert to go to his Real Job this morning. You know, the one that's optional and not mandatory.


The thing that dawns on me about Victory Day, think of all of those people who participated in the first one and how grateful they were to be able to parade and not to get caught up in the meat grinder of the eastern front. The USSR lost a generation in that war.
 
Breakfast with the Feds Friday. Let's see if he remembers the brass.

Do we have a new troll or is that yet to be determined?

If he does, great. If he doesn't, great. If he has some M1 clips, he sits at the right hand of Allah.


Likely it's a random couple of posts, which is more than I can say with charity for the st000pids.


Did I mention that I'm picking up my M1 tomorrow? I did already???


Tomorrow . . . . :D :D :D
 
None of my firearms were found outside of the safe this morning.......even though I left the door standing wide open

What's the deal?
