  1. Therfore Am I?

    What a coincidence! Same here, except the retired part. By heritage, I can also be a member of the "Sons of the Confederacy," and "Sons of the Union," so I hope that balances out the Southern hate, that as a White man, is reportedly genetically encoded in my DNA (though my great-grandfather...

    Item Relisted! FT Norinco sks m

    I've got this same Norinco SKS M that I bought in '92, and I have a Yugo AK47 that I had built from a kit and an IO receiver about three years ago, and IMHO, the SKS is a good bit more accurate than the AK.

  3. Overrated/overhyped guns

    Spencer Repeating Rifles... smokeless powder - overrated. Rifles are supposed to be loaded from the muzzle-end. After all, if you practice you can get off two or three shots a minute, and what combat situation would ever require a faster rate of fire than that? On a serious note, I think AKs...

  4. Is Classic Firearms good to order from?

    I bought a AK kit (everything less the receiver), a receiver, and some other stuff from them a few years ago, and it arrived at the FFL of my choice a few days later. An uneventful transaction... just the way I like them.

  6. who's been to Germany?

    That's good counsel. It's Rick "Steves". http://www.ricksteves.com

  7. Metro Atlanta Item Relisted! FS/FT Romanian AK

    I recently had a gunsmith build this exact same gun for me from a Classic Arms Romy parts kit, with a new receiver and barrel, and it COST me $515, total. This one you are selling has a nicer finish on it, too. Looks like a really good value.

    What an idiot

    Agreed. She's got nice hair, that's about it.

  9. Craigslist Rant

    I was recently in the market for a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4, and went to all of the dealerships in the Tallahassee/Thomasville area. We found a few good deals, but by the time we could touch base with the Credit Union, and get back to the dealer (a matter of hours), the car would be gone. We...

  10. College Educated?

    The education system needs to develop a Bachelor of Arts degree in "Common Sense, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Trainability". In my book, that could replace many business/management-related degrees. In fact, you could even have an equivalent Technical Certification measuring the...

  11. Ak-47 prices goin up?

    I've got a friend who owns a gun shop and does a LOT of gunsmith work. He recently built a Romy AK47 for me, which between the kit/receiver, purchased a couple of years ago, and his labor to finish the build - cost about $515. Other than the fresh bluing on the barrel, and the new receiver, it...

  12. Ak-47 prices goin up?

    Keep an eye out on www.slickguns.com for good deals on AKs. They do pop up pretty regularly.

  13. College Educated?

    I didn't mention that point in my post, but there's no doubt in my mind that God opened every door along His path for my career, and provided numerous pitfalls along the way to discipline and teach me absolutely invaluable lessons. My wife of 25 years has also been a HUGE factor in my success...

  14. College Educated?

    Started out as a Biology major in '78, with plans to go to Medical School. Though I love the sciences (still do), I figured out that it was probably too long a haul for my level of discipline in my early 20's. In a quandary, I took an aptitude test which showed that Management Information...

  15. The guy (or gal) behind the username...

    In the late 1990s, I was stumped trying to come up with a user name on ebay... everything I tried had been taken. Among the people I was representing at the time were geotechnical engineers, so the nomenclature of their profession was fresh on my mind. The layers below the surface of the earth...
