My Only PU - But It's a Doozy

Post by martin08 »

Like many members, this forum has opened up a chance for us to re-introduce our collection, one by one. I've been adding the new ones as they arrived, but today I'm digging up my only PU Sniper. It's a Polish rearsenaled 1944 Izhevsk, and it is mighty dandy to gaze upon.

So enjoy, and thanks for looking.

Very nice !!
“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.

Um, um, er..... I don't know. :oops:

I left the cosmoline right inside. I don't know if that will matter for a few more pennies someday when it comes time to sell, but I haven't had the heart to clean her out.

Oh that's pretty easy. Out of all 57, I've shot the PU, T-53, 1 of the M28s, 1 of the M39's but the cases kept sticking, One Finn captured 91/30, 1 of the K31's, 1 of the M38's and 1 ofthe K98's :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek:

So 8 of 57 have been "Tested" What percentage is that, like 15% :big shock:

I ain't fallin for it! What you mean to say is when it comes time for your heirs to sell it. Man that one don't even qualify for the title of "never fired and only dropped once." :)
