Potpourri and bric-a-brac

Flashing Alice

Ft. Irwin is an installation dedicated to training. It has a minimal cadre, and when I ws in the Army, the sole tenant was OpFor. OpFor is/was a unit trained in soviet tactics and equipment, and combat units would travel to Ft. Irwin to do battle with them to get an ida of how fit they were to take on Ivan.

Well, someone stole some AK-4s and a Dragunov sniper rifle from there, and now there's a reward being offered:

I guess the BATF feels like someone is harshing their gig.

Next, there's the latest Executive order issued by BO:

executive-order-blocking-property-transnational-criminal-organizations

At the bottom of the order, he lists 4 entities this order applies to. He musta forgot to add BATF.

And finally, I've noticed that St. Anne has been making some odd statements and endorsements in recent months, and seems to have lost her fire. This guy - Los Angeles based civil attorney by day - USAR cavalry officer when called upon to defend America, has that fire:

Thanks Stoo.  I know that Mark Levin is puzzled by Ann Coulter's endorsement of ....          Since I'm carrying Ann's baby, I must be silent on the matter.

I have wanted one of those Dragunov sniper rifles (7.62 x 54, I believe) for quite some time now.

They are supposed to be remarkably accurate.

And I would, of course, want the matching Krinkov (made famous by OBL, RIP) in the same caliber, although I would settle for the semi-auto version of it.

C'mon Molon, are you really going to shoot something at over 300 yards?

Melon, A off the rack Remington 700 is far more accurate. Or a Springfield M1A Match. The Druganov's where way over rated when they first appeared. M
Krinkovs are chambered in the smaller 5,45x39...
RAK

Dragnov isn't a sniper rifle it is an assigned infantryman weapon. I own Kalashnikov's version but the weapon is the same caliber.

Get a Mosign, Simo Hayak did remarkably well with one racking up at least 600 kills to the white death.

Plus, the 7.62x54R is a manly-man kinda cartridge, which is its own reason for owning at least several firearms chambered for it!

Looking at a chinese mosign remake. If your shoulder isn't aching you are not shooting enough.
