How the heck do we get this thing back in there?

Is that Tommy Lee Jones in the lower left corner? I'm surprised Nickolas Cage didn't sneak in there.

I think it is, Nicolas is the one on the far right in the back. He just looks younger then.

.....Hombre, among a lot of other things, I really did not know you were a "Partizan" trainer!

........I like the one with the manual, coulda been me, ......

I was about 2 or 3 years old when this picture was taken but as they say, people age fast during wars.

I liked the one with the manual too.

"If you drop that rifle one more time private, can you guess where I am going to put this?"

[Junk Yard Dog]

He is looking at that manual as if he is trying to figure out how to read it, no pictures I guess

[Hombre]

I also like the poster with the girl in front of bajonetts, I believe the script means: Rodina, pick up your arms! Rodina=Fatherland!!

That is close but Родина-мать зовёт! = The Motherland Calls!

The Germans spoke of the Fatherland but the Russians spoke of the Motherland. I wonder why.

The captiion where I got the picture is:
Запись добровольцев 1941 г.
Место съемки: Ленинград

Google translation:
Volunteers entry in 1941
Location: Leningrad

TSHTF soon after this picture was taken.

Poor bastards, a minor speed bump for the Germans in June.

Wow, I was off by a few decades. I was thinking WW1. It makes sense now though. The rifle looked familiar, now I know why. I own that rifle! Yeah, that's it!

Fatherland=Motherland=Rodina....Your country is calling you, was that the slogan on our Uncle Sam poster, where he points the finger..tried to find it, but no.....
I think the feminine aspect goes way back to the times before Christianisation, like elsewhere the pagans had Mother Earth as main Goddess....

IIRC it said "Uncle Sam Wants You".

I googled it and looks like my memory failed me again.

Right, Hombre, now I see it..., thanks for googling, I think the Russian girl is nicer, though
Racer, you are probably right! It's a round receiver, not a Hex, because then it would be mine..

Hold this in your mouth and turn around....

No need to debate religion here unless it is a gun religion, IE i collect guns religeously.( ) The Russians are deep seeded in christian beliefs from way back.

[Junk Yard Dog]

[desertgunner]

Desdem, that's exactly what I did not discuss, only just mentioned above, and it is kinda right, too.Thereafter they were seeded!!!ROFL and banging my head, what a way to put that....ROFL and getting a bloddy nose from banging....
The Pope is just not Mother Mohejam, but that would be religious, right..ROFL

There's no busines like Mosin business, and no better show...!!!!!
Sorry, I had some more coming, but my CFO came and told me to cut off the cr.. and go to bed to make some money tomorrow....but she did not say I could put $10 away on the Mosin-attempt-to -buy-account. Just remembered : Black And White Money is created equal, just the sources and uses may differ.......Good Night , Y'ALL

[desertgunner]

With all due respect, Gents,
was this thread about how we get this thing back in : : :....
the answer is: If you don't know, go back to step 1 and start at the foot ..........ROFL with orchestra (TOP)

gotta stop...CFO lurking..
