When we moved from Chicago, I bought a gun. I have 2 daughters, and they have friends. To make sure that my wife, kids and I, are on the same page, I went to the library (internet was very slow and limited at that time), and brought pictures of people killed by guns. I did explained to my kids...
Check government statistics on guns. Rifles (all rifles including "assault") are used 352 times out of 9,203 murders http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0310.pdf there are more people killed with hammers and baseball bats 623, and with hands, fists and legs 815, than with...
Media gives them so much attention, those killers know they will be mentioned on every news, their names and life stories will be repeated on every channel. Everyone will look "where society failed to help these people, not to become killers" and nobody is ridiculing killers. Media should just...
People got what they were voting for - socialist. Scoialists love power concentrated in in certain hands, and having armed citizens, is not what they want. So any excuse for control is good excuse. For them it does not matter that one or two mentally ill people are doing the shooting, what...
Whatever SHTF scenario is (solar flare, power failure, avian flu, UFO), we are talking about hunderds of thousands, millions of people rushing into the parks and forests, and eating whatever there is (unless asteroid hits the Earth, then we don't have to worry about such details) especially...
Salut, c'est moi :):
As I mentioned, there hundreds of pages of discussions regarding MO, and no clear answer. However, "mobilizacionnyj" makes more sense than most of them.
"MO" on Mosin rifles, is a subject of many pages on many forums. Russians themselfs don't know. There are 2 MO marks. One is M.O. with separating dots, usually dated 42/43 (1942/1943) These could be "Mobilizacionnyj Otdel", meaning "mobilization department". Where rifles were taken from police...
Russian IzhMash (manufacturer of AK and Saiga) filed for bancruptcy. They are producing about 70 different tipes of weapons, including hunting and military (including aircraft cannons). It is not clear what will happen, however, it is known that some buyers for russian special forces went to...
Not really. Russians sanctioned/approved production in most of the Warsaw Pact countries. Those countries created their own parts supply, and own modification (e.g. Czech VZ58, forearm on yugo, etc). Poland preferred machinning vs stamping. I am talking about true "soviet" AKM that was made in...
East german AK, then bulgarians, then polish, then yugo, then chinese then romanian. There are no large numbers of true russian - soviet AKM (so called AK47) in US, with the exception of bring backs and some limited "samples". Most of them fully automatic and sitting in private collections. If...
Little axle grease on the rails (where bolt carrier is sliding on), very little. Barrel with the soap and water (or windex) once in a while, and light oil, dry to touch. Maybe once every few months, especially if corrosive ammo is used.
