I'm betting they have train tracks adjacent. I'll be stealing a freight train a loading her up.

Second try. The M44 is not unissued and lacks a cleaning rod & sling. Still, not bad for $249. http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m533/Phatass56/image_zps2cf6154d.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m533/Phatass56/image_zps4b8f9dcd.jpg http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m533/Phatass56/imag...

I thought I posted pictures? Too many perhaps?

Got to love the Finns.

Cool video.

Pictures today guys, I promise. I don't know whether my M44 was unissued, but it is very nice. Unfortunately, it lacks a sling. I have several Soviet slings, but no Polish. It's really good to be back.

Been gone for awhile, but thought I'd drop back in after my most recent find. It was just dumb luck, but I'll take it. I wandered into my LGS the other day, and what did I spy upon the consignment gun rack? A virtually pristine 1952 Polish M44...for $249.00. I grabbed it and bought it immediately. I...

I have read that good PU snipers rifles could average 1.5 MOA with some substantially better than that. Wh...

First off, thanks for all the kind words and drooling... :mrgreen: Yes, I hunt with mine, elk specifically here in Washington. Mrs. GS and I also do primitive mountain man type rendezvous re-enactments as well. The big one is the Pacific Primitive Rendezvous which is held annually in the Pacific Nor...

Is an SKS enough? In short, yes. But like anything else, it depends on the operator, their situation and a host of variables that could easily change the calculus. Having said that, situations could arise which would preclude ANY firearm being enough. I would place a higher value on traditional skil...

Thanks for the kind words guys! Yes, they are both have curly maple stocks.

Here are our flintlock rifles. They are contemporary made by my favorite, and superb gunsmith, Brad Emig of Cabin Creek Muzzleloading. Mrs. GS is .40 caliber and mine is .58. Hers is obviously made for a petite woman (which she is) and is just a scaled down version of mine. The .40 has a length of p...
