Judi is back, Musée de l'Armée, Cosacks, Mosins, SKS ?
Well you guys know I have this power that is unleashed through a process that involves a lot of really hard to understand math and physics calculations, and possibly some magic...
Well it has been a very long time, Back in May I was TDY to Washington DC, which sent me to Baltimore for two weeks , then returned home before Labor day, only to be sent to France. Just got in today wanted to say hello. Had to change planes in NYC, stopped by the NYPD office in the airport. Showed my ID Asked if they had a room I could change and holster my issued Sig. It was a three hour layover for next flight they gave me some advice on nice take outs, had a Ruben and ice tea.
Anyone ever goes to France please stop and vist the Musée de l'Armée,.. French military history one the three largest arms museums in the world. The Mosins they had were perfect. I wish I could have talked the curator out of at least one, but no luck. Really a nice place from the 13th century armour, all the wars, WW1 and WW2 Vietnam...and many others. Wish I had more time to vist there. It would be like Dolk or Miller Tymes gun room.
Please I will check the movies thread the film The Cossacks,...The Cossacks is a 1928 American silent drama film. I do belive all the Mosins and sabers are real, and ka3 marked . A film worth watching
I must thank the UPS person for leaving a Mosin that I ordered in May, left on my front door, lucky my neighbor took it in at the end of summer for me.
I been seeing alot of 1920's M91/30's early ones from PW arms coming in. I have to catch up with the ones I paid for but they been holding for me I grabbed a 1920 izhevsk, and of course another 1943 izhevsk that one is number three in that year I have. Plus a few others.
Jet lag has me now I need some sleep , But I promised my pups a XL pizza for them. They sure missed me, Lucky my aunt took care of them for me. But I will not be traveling no more I turned in my resignation letter for Nov. 2015. I am tried of the travel, hours, and I do not certainly need the money. I need to use up my vacation three months, and all my sick time . My department head is GONE, left said the place gave him a ulcer. He was a appointed hack. So that makes me the straw boss again. I think he feared me returning PO'ed.
I am going to post a vid in the off topic, How to land an A320 when you aren't a pilot. I bet 90% of you can be talked down. Enjoy the vid. I also am going to post Monday or Tuesday in the play it forward thread a box of Mosin parts many, that you can have free . I am going to have to sell or get rid of over 1,000 AK-47 magazines 7.62x39. I will make special deals for RMNF members. They are East Euro / China ones, 30rd. some forty rd. from my Dads gun shop two crates of them. I don't want to fly them back home. I am at my Dads house which I will re-list since my lazy brother forgot to tell the agent .
Hello to all the new members here since I been gone. Please check your head space with the Okie gauges Be safe. shameless plug
Any word on the RMNF hats ? Did I miss them ?
Calling all SKS experts.... ..Grease monkey and all you other guys help please.............
Now, I purchased a SKS was suppose to be a China one, but no /26\ mark, just five numbers and a star, Almost like a Tula star to the right of the numbers. It has no import marks either. I need to call them to ship. I have pictures I shall post later.
Gurn, Jim, are those work benches cleaned yet ? I do not want to call the wifes up...again. I see that the showcase is expanding Walt I was so happy to see your two dreams, the 1895 Winchester and your wife such a lucky man. You other guys I might have to black bag you as I see some nice collections appearing.
JYD, did you have all that snow a month ago I seen on TV ?
Also before I left I purchased another empty Mosin crate. I will fill it fast as I missed alot of things I would have purchased. I need to fly my Cesna down to Aim to pick up a few things they be holding for me that been paid for. So Chuck I will drop in on you.
I have to keep a eye out for Dolk,...NO...put me down Dolk, Put me down....
I shall post more this week, I need some sleep and my pups need some attention from me.
I must say, I missed this place, It is the best place on the net. A gentleman I work with, he is in another department has a C&R I found out he collects pistols only thou.
No place like home.......I missed all of you, Judi and her Mosin's

Long time, no hear. Glad you're back. Thanks for the update. A while back my wife asked about whether she could handle a Mosin. I mentioned the "lady on the Mosin forum" who shoots Mosins just fine, and collects them too! So, we were talking about you behind your back.

Hi Judi, I'm one of the new ones you mentioned. Regarding your SKS, I don't know for certain but I don't think Chinese used stars. It may be what they've been calling Sino-Soviet, a Chinese with Russian parts ? not sure how that class is defined but that's what it sounds like. Unless it's a North Korean, how awesome would that be ?

Hey Judi one other thing. I was just reading that you're thinking of going to AIM. Better hurry, they're moving this week, the 30th and 31st. I haven't talked to Bryan recently but from what I here it's not far from where they are now.

Hello Judi, welcome back, no, I had one snowstorm that gave us 10" or so of sloppy wet snow. What you saw on TV was up north by the Canadian border, they got slammed. So far I have had a mild December, and hope the rest of the winter will continue on like this. Sounds like you have been having adventures, the biggest adventure I have had recently was deciding what cigar in the Christmas cigar sampler a friend gives me will be least likely to taste like three day old road kill. Good luck with the magazine sale, that should be able to fund some Mosins, and we look forward to the resumption of the lazy, incompetent, brother storys
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
