GUNSHOW!!!!! WOOT!

Made a trip to a gunshow today in Dayton instead of a range trip. Good stuff to be had for all and the ammo prices there are much easier to swallow than the ones that happen here in Cincy. (to the tune of 25% higher here on common stuff)

Managed to find some honest to God Mosin Nagant Stripper clips and should have cleaned the guy out. I wasn't for certain as they look very similar to the aftermarket clips though the difference in loading is rather extreme. Found some stuff for the SKS too. Don't want my Russian friends getting jealous of each other. LOL

So the Mosin received a scope mount, stripper clips, and 40 rounds of silver tip Hungarian milsurp(want to try it out since I have a source on the cheap). The SKS received 500 rounds of HP by Wolf(not the best but it shoots fine out of this rifle) and a Muzzle brake. Would like to get more stripper clips for the SKS but people are starting to realize that its easier to use the clips than the magazines. Because of this the sellers are starting to jack up the price on them. Law of Supply and Demand in action. Gotta love capitalism. :-D

Not really happy with the way the scope mount sits but at the price the guy was selling, well, hard to pass on. It will work for a red dot just fine if I go that route but I will need to pick up long relief scope if I decide to go that route. The P/U mounts are near impossible to find anymore. I don't like the Tapco mounts at all so those are out. Who knows: I may just manufacture something of my own.(and yes I am checking it out lol)


Back to the real world. Who's completely convinced that the stuffed shirt sporting "President of the United States" is an avowed Socialist bastard? I know that I am and that the disease of communism is starting to really infect a majority of congress and the senate.
Things do not bode well in our country at that rate.

Guess thats why I went and bought more ammo.
