Death of a PKM

Post by SavageDennis »

Did anyone watch the mutilation of the PKM on Sons of Guns tonight? They took a sweet PKM, chopped the barrel to nothing, added a folding stock and a chute style, backpack caried, belt feed 500 rounds of 7,62x54r. It was a 1 man walking death machine to be sure, but to see a perfectlygood PKM go down like that mae me tear up just a bit. The client wanted something he could try to sell to the military. Yeah right, bub, that'll happen.

I did not watch that show, simply because things like that happen.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

No, was it a milsurp? If it was a commercial built rifle then fine, milsurp would be bad.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I also will not watch those shows. The stupid things they do just feeds the anti-gun groups, makes all gun owners look like crazy violent butchers.
They scare the hell out of people, and we feel the backlash. Just my opinion.

I have no time to watch these shows, I can't snippets of this and that as I walk through the room when the TV's on, I mostly watch the Military channel.

Sleeping would be a good option other than watching them goobers destroy a perfectly good firearm, heck I think I'd rather watch 27 Dresses or The Ugly Truth again :big shock: :chuckles: At least the blond is kinda hot :chuckles:

I was flipping channels and stopped when I saw the PKM out of curiosity. The PKM was de-mil'd before import by cutting the reciever in 4 pieces with a torch and all the parts were in a cardboard box. The reciever couldn't be repaired so the ordered a new semi reciever and converted it to FA by milling it. Doesn't make the final product any better, but it was virtually scrap in a box when they started... :cry:
