i would have fixed problems and made it a shooter. i got to fire randver's M-44 last night at a range. 2 foot diameter fireball and very much louder than my 42Izhevsk M1891/30.. i let him shoot mine also. irishman made up our gun range get together. fun,and since AIM charged me it means "bill,your M-44 is on big brown truck". i will go shoot it next week. wooohooo how come i gotta say A$$h*#^e and you get to say the real nasty?? cause i am a newbie i bet...Junk Yard Dog wrote: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.
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?

If a couple of milsurps have to die, at least the funding goes to letting kids learn to shoot.
You will really like that M44 Kermit. You won't regret getting it trust me, I have 2 I got from them. They're a blast.kermit wrote:i would have fixed problems and made it a shooter. i got to fire randver's M-44 last night at a range. 2 foot diameter fireball and very much louder than my 42Izhevsk M1891/30.. i let him shoot mine also. irishman made up our gun range get together. fun,and since AIM charged me it means "bill,your M-44 is on big brown truck". i will go shoot it next week. wooohooo how come i gotta say A$$h*#^e and you get to say the real nasty?? cause i am a newbie i bet...Junk Yard Dog wrote:What was this, another asshole gun buy back program?
