Egyptian Rasheed

[DoggyDaddy]

I have enough surplus 8X57 to last me and my kids, and the grandkids most of their lives... I bought very heavy back when I owned a 1919A4 beltfed converted to 8mm.

I'm still buying it when I can. I've got a tin of Romanian on the way as we speak (the Hakim and FN49 both seem to like it). Granted it's not as cheap as it was even when I got started, but it's still not horrible (about 50 cents a round seems to be a "good" price for Romy, Yugo or Turk right now, and sometimes I find Turk for less). I haven't really counted but I'm pretty sure I have about 4K+ rounds now, which will last me for quite awhile. I've also started picking up a few boxes of commercial ammo here and there so I will have the brass to reload eventually once the surplus dries up.

I like Rashida but I had no idea she was Egyptian.....I thought she was African American and Jewish???

I'm pretty sure she's out of my price range. Besides, she's not old enough to be C&R eligible.

We need to get on that - we can petition the BATFE that she has, "significant intrinsic value to collectors and museums." She need to be on the 'exempt list' - I don't want her to get transferred through a dealer first before I get her.

Took the Rasheed to the range today and it had a few feeding issues. Going to have to check the mag I think. May just need to take it apart and clean it. I also found that the SKS stripper clips I have don't fit it. I don't know if it's because they're aftermarket clips or if it needs a different type? The groove for the clips is just too tight. I need to pick up some "real" ones to see if they work. Anybody know if it should take the SKS clips?

Just doing some quick internet searches it looks like some say the sks stripper clips work, and others say had trouble with them fitting ... it gets curiouser and curiouser or so Alice told me...
