1. MDL sent in this link from Time magazine.
2. I picked up my K31 today. NICE. PIECE. OF. GEAR. I think I need a cigarette. Actually what I need is ammo– I have a sealed 480-rd Swiss battlepack, but it’s so neat and well packaged that I couldn’t bring myself to rip it open for anything less than TEOTWAWKI. I’ll have to get a small mound of some already broken out ammo and take it to the range.
3. Speaking of the K31, it was the always-outstanding Loudoun Guns that did the transfer. They also installed an Ergo Grip and a Badger Tac-Latch on my M&P-15T, for no charge. I cannot recommend them highly enough. (BTW, that M4-gery, with the new AR-style front sight and the aforementioned add-ons, is now 100% battle-worthy.)
4. Two very interesting items in the first “bullet” point of this post at Survival Blog– to wit, a certain set of Finnish M39s will qualify as pre-1899 antiques despite delivering entirely modern firepower, and that the Silver Bear brand of ammo offers non-corrosive cartridges for same. That is mighty good news, for the major drawback of the 7.62x54R is corrosive ammo. Take note!
Anyone else have some gun news?
And how about that Women-in-the-Sub-Fleet business??
