Picked up a rather beat-up-looking S&W 10-6 that cleaned up nicely with some Hoppes #9 and some fresh grips (#9 doesn't get rid of the 'character scratches', thankfully =). Also picked up a ton of CCI .22 Std.Vel. and some Georgia Arms .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammo. Finally, I found a good set of grips for one of my target pistols, and a GI-style grip safety for my 1911.
I bought my first military surplus rifle, a 1943 Mosin Nagant 91/30. It had matching numbers on the bolt, magplate and receiver and came with the bayonet, accessory kit and 100 rounds of ammo. The best part was it didn't come covered in cosmoline.
Nice, hey if you look closely you can see the blood of imperialist running dogs and the oppressed masses. Another cool thing about the MNs is that they have been used by both sides in a few conflicts and won each time. Seriously though, nice looking rifle and one of the great bargains available now.longwatch wrote:I bought my first military surplus rifle, a 1943 Mosin Nagant 91/30.

Oh, and I finally joined the VCDL
The only downside was I bought a 3-day pass and planned to go back Saturday after going to the meetup lunch in Leesburg, and instead spent most of the day moving stuff out of our office at work, which was heavily water damaged following the fun with Hanna last weekend.

Zombie Squad has it right: “We hold fast to the belief that if you are prepared for a scenario where the walking corpses of your family and neighbors are trying to eat you alive, you will be prepared for almost anything.”
I picked up an M44 for 94 bucks OTD last month out at the Winchester Gander Mtn... It is in great condition and came with all the goodies!RedKnightt wrote:Nice, hey if you look closely you can see the blood of imperialist running dogs and the oppressed masses.

May I please recommend that if you haven't had it to the range yet... don't carry it! Live with your HP until you've confirmed that your new Sig functions properly.
Well Bloomberg hit pretty close to home for them, the owner's father owned Patriot Services which was shut down in the face of a Bloomberg lawsuit.
