    Kyllä, sir John, kun tämä pandemia on ohi, meidän on tavattava Rick's, ja saatettava muutamat muut INGO: n kosmoliiniarmastajat paikalle.
    Kuulostaa hyvältä. Ota salmiakki ja Kossu sekä tietysti vodkaa virvokkeita varten. Tietysti olemme todennäköisesti siellä seuraavana aamuna!
    Mietitkö, kuinka moni Google-kääntäjä kääntää tämän ketjun lukemisen?

    :buddies:

    Paljon tätä tapahtuu joka tapauksessa! :scratch:

    LOL, kyllä runsaasti Vodkaa, ja ehkä myös borsaa.

    käännöksen osalta toivon, että he eivät yritä venäjää

    I still enjoy them, also stacked the ammo deep, including several cans of the yellow tip! I own several 91/30's from 1897 to 1940's, also a couple Finnish and 3 38's. had 3 different 44's none were accurate and none really pleasurable to shoot so i sold them when prices went up. I just gave my son one to add to his arsenal too. I enjoy most all milsurps and have been collecting for decades

    I recognize that range, Roush Lake in Huntington. On that end of the range, with the concrete overhead and the wall not too far away, I know that makes for a hell of a loud bang to go with that fireball.

    When they could be had for $100 and a can of ammo for another $100? Sure. At there current price? No.

    As a rifle they pale compared to the Mauser, Enfield, and 1903.

    Lots of love for mine! Have owned a few variants from Russia, Finland, Poland, Romania, Hungary, and China. Still have a few from Russia, Finland, and China and quite a few crates of ammo. A run-of-the-mill Izhevsk 91/30 was the second gun I ever bought, "handpicked" from a gun shop trashcan in 2003 for $99 :laugh: Still have that one, but man do I wish I knew then what I know now when digging through piles of these things - back then as a broke college student my only criteria was trying to avoid cleaning cosmo; I had zero idea what markings, characteristics, and other things made a gun unique or collectible. I remember shooting an M38 at night for the first time - between the concussion and the muzzle flash you might as well have been standing next to a Space Shuttle launch. They are fun, reliable, and resilient shooters, and are truly the quintessential milsurp gun IMHO.

    Two of my favorites - a Finn M39 and an authentic, numbers matching PU sniper (pretty easy to tickle steel at 300 yards with surplus Russian silvertip):

    I'm now down to just one Finnish M39 with a "B" barrel in unissued condition.
    It even came with the arsenal tag hanging off of it, and the tag is around here somewhere.

    At one point I had a cheap Mosin M1944 or M1938 tanker. The crown had been counter bored. I guess the story goes that they were knocked around in the tank and their barrel crowns got messed up. With the short barrel, it kicked like a mule!
