Welcome back Judi :thumbsup:

Sounds like you may have snagged a Russian Tula, quite a few came in with the recent imports. Most typically had a mis-matched Chinese top cover.

But, if said SKS star stamp has a 1 stamped in the center of it :big shock: You may have lucked in to an NVA :Drool1: :thumbsup:

Gurn,...are you hiding Dave, can you flush out gurn for me. I know that work bench has not been touched ! :devil2:

Jim, looks like you been putting more rounds thru them Mosins then all of WW1 and WW2....deep ammo bunker ? :bwink:

AJ ....take the wife to the range, have her shoot a few rounds off. Once she gets hooked on then you won't have to be sneaking any into the house. She can start her collection. :)

Weldonhunter ....Nice to see you too :)

Hello Millman,.....I still like your hat, Don't let Chuck make fun of it. I think I will buy him one like that too :)

Rongo,...How have you been ? Wonder what you been sneaking into the house your not telling us about. :vcool:

Gsragtop,....I bet you been buying everything that Walt has not seen. Well I going to start following you now...yep ...She's back. :bwink:

Buckeyesgt....Hello, I swear, Chuck sounds just like John Wayne on the phone. As soon as I get in touch with Aim, lets set a afternoon for lunch, maybe a quick ride in my vomit comet :beek:

Tennessee_Mosin...Break out the Mosins and pass the ammo :thumbsup:

zeebill....I do get a little slap happy traveling between that many time zones, But I was so excited to get back to all of you. :brolleyes:


Russell,...Send your address, a box of AK-47 magazines are on me :)

:chain:
Greasemonkey....Do I have to black-bag you and this time keep you in the basement for information. Seems Gitmo will be empty soon, maybe I can start holding you guys there. :bwink:
:chain:
Dolk....My loving ex-husband ( sort of we never finished the marriage ) anything new in the collection, I have your link to the web page I must look it up. We might have to meet in Vegas again :brolleyes:
:chain:
JYD,....I bet right now your either looking at a can of spam, or some other "pressed meat" sandwhich. I would cook you a home made meal. But I prefer to order out as pizza is my favorite. Besides, no way getting into that vault of yours thru your tummy with food. I would send my brother by you telling him your looking for help to hire. He would expect a advance as his date would be waiting in the car. :)


Whew...I will be back, need to go to the post office and pick up four months of mail. :beek:

:soapbox:
.Where is that Monty Python spam spoof when you need it ? I think we should demand that he post the menu from there. After all we would have to wait some 2,000 years before someone would discover the "vault". Would rival the opening of King Tuts tomb with discoverys. Judi and her Mosins ;mywink;

The only thing not on the menu over there is Spam, they don't even have a single can of it in the store. No matter, I have enough of my own. If I remember in the morning I will try and take a picture of the menu, I might not get to it, I have to ship a number of things out in the morning, seems my eBay buyers have money again. They do have some real good onion rings, fresh made from real onions right there, good fries also, and curly fries. Had some broccoli there on Sunday that was very good, and they have bacon, but no pizza. Pizza is not hard to find, there are 4 Pizza joints within 1.5 miles of here, all of them good. Vault? What vault? There is no vault, nobody saw me loading up the vault, nothing can be proven. It's the slow season Judi, the only job I have for your brother is finding the other T top of the '88 Monty Carlo. He can start by looking in the car, it's 40 feet out, and 205 feet down in the water, should keep him busy for awhile.

Judi, glad you are back. Sorry you did not enjoy Baltimore, but then who does? I would have bought you lunch if I had known you were here.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Based on what you said the sks sounds like a Chinese "ghost gun". Made without the usual marks for distribution to the NVA/Vietcong. Whether this was because it was cheaper and faster or they wanted plausible deniability is up for debate.

A Lunch Ok that is a date :), Just do not run out on me like JYD leaving me with a $7.00 Happy Meal bill. Seems if spam is not on the menu off he goes. or I was not worth the $7.00 ? :P Judi and her Mosins ;mywink;

Oh heck, I have been spelling Judi wrong. I have never known another girl named Judi, just Judy, as in Judge Judy. Hey wait a minute. This isn't judge Judy in disguise is it?

Happy meal? I remember them, but if I ordered it in MacDonald's the staff would panic, they know me well and I always order the Big Mac. A good number of the billions and billions served by that company is actually me :) Remember the .99 Big Mac promotion they ran a few years ago? I was buying them by the sack full.

You can hide those McD's they would degrade and just need to be warmed up ....So how many sackfuls would you say you can put away. We should have a contest on how many you can pack away in a hour. :thumbsup: Judi and her Mosins ;mywink;
