|
|
Well I was up this morning so i decided i would stop by and see how yall are doing. I also thought it would be a good idea to let you know what i have been up to for the past couple monthes or so.
As you all may or may not know my computer got fried due to a transformer explosion. I did get insurance money off of it but i decided it would be in my best interest not to fix it. I came to this conclusion when i realized i had alot of time to spend doing other things without it. I do plan on fixing it eventually but lately i have been enjoying my low-tech time off.
I have recently got into gun collecting and have purchased a few in the past few monthes. I have a Lee-Enfield No1 SMLE, a Yugoslavian SKS M59/66, 2 antique .22 rifles from the early 1900s, and a Mosin-Nagant M44. I enjoy it and have spent quite some time researching them. It has become a good hobby and i plan to continue it into the future.
Due to this new hobby i have spent many a day at the firing range and am now able to hit a 6 inch target at 200 yards without a problem with the Enfield. I dont know if it is one shot kill though so if any of you would like to find out give me a call . I am actually going to the firing range later today to fire the Nagant since i just bought it yesterday.
Hmm what else is new... I guess really nothing. I go to the range alot and recently spent a week up in the mountains. Ive been getting pretty outdoorsy without all the silicon running through my veins. But alas one cannot deny his history and i shall be making my return to the servers by winter.
I will be down in the Clearwater Florida area for 16 days from aug 10th - 26th. If anyone has any good ideas for me and my girlfriend to do, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
For now i must say adios friends. I shall be looking forward to seeing you all in game soon but for now I must remain free of the Cat 5 cables.
Take care all of you

Hey Jack! Old guns are cool I like the World War 1 and 2 guns best. They dont have those plastic stocks and such.
Hope to see you in game come fall! _________________ Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. |

mk III. The man. date on it is 1949. I missed the WWII mark.
Oh and clay, my stock is coming loose from the main body of it. I opened the latch on the buttplate but dont know what type of nut or screw it is in there. if you could help me out it would be appreciated. _________________

if you have a standard mk III its different from the mk III* by a lot iirc. Mine was sporterised so its stock was worked with before I got it. I think the butt plate is supposed to hold a military cleaning kit. I really have never looked inside it with a small flashlight. You would be better off asking a gunsmith I think. I just know how to load, shoot, and clean em. |

I am not sure if mine is a mkIII* or not. I will have to look into it. All i know is its fun as hell to shoot. So is the Yugo SKS. The only thing I dont like about the Enfield is the ammo is kinda expensive. At around 20 bucks for 20 rounds its definitally not a plinker. _________________

Be prepared to get out the heavy duty cleaning stuff, because a lot of the milsurp 303 from pakistan is uses a corrosive primer. |
