Re: A Mosin "Where's Waldo" on CNN article
What was this, another asshole gun buy back program? The carbine isn't your typical slum city bangers special, it's probably stolen and turned in as the only way the crackheads could find a buyer for it.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Dang a old Krag, and isn't that a Gew 88?
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: A Mosin "Where's Waldo" on CNN article
Read the article...pretty funny actually. A group that runs a summer "gun camp" for kids sold all that stuff back, and bought modern firearms and ammo for the camp. They gamed the system, and it is awesome. Their angle was to gather up garbage guns that didn't work and were otherwise just scrap metal, and turn them in to new guns for the camp....The only thing I don't get is how the Mosin ended up in the garbage pile...from the looks of it, it would appear to be in really good condition...Junk Yard Dog wrote:What was this, another asshole gun buy back program?

Re: A Mosin "Where's Waldo" on CNN article
Ya i saw the gew there. Not sure if the krag would be worth the trouble though. I would have liked to be ther for some of those though. MAybe we should put together a mosin buy back program. Get all those nasty mosins off the street and give them to a good home....you know kinda like mine. I would love to adopt one. ![thumbsup :thumbsup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Re: A Mosin "Where's Waldo" on CNN article
Actually there are some revolvers in there that may have some good collector value. And the M44 looks as if it only needs a bolt and bayo. The Krag has some parts as well that could be used for restoration. I see a bunch of wasted potential.

If a couple of milsurps have to die, at least the funding goes to letting kids learn to shoot.
