I'd still do it for that price. With a little bit of TLC this rifle is amazing. I polished the internals, added a recoil buffer, removed the bayonet, and added a muzzle break. I spent quite a bit of time on the trigger and have it almost like a two stage. The first few mm's of pull is smooth then it stops right at the point where if I put any more pressure it fires.

I've put a good 20k+ rounds through it over the 5 years that I've owned it. Spent the first 3 days after buying it up at my brothers place going through a crate of ammo cutting a tree with a 12 diameter down by just shooting it. Since he is a mechanic by trade he also had a boatload of scrap metal up at his place so we did penetration tests with the steel cored ammo. I've heard some stories about people needing to adjust the sites but mine came perfect out of the box. I was shooting spent shotgun shells at 100 yards with the irons off a bench.

Great gun... love that free floating firing pin too. Yay for a bit of bump-firing! I have a video of me somewhere bump-firing into a snowman and shredding it to pieces.

I've had three in my life so far. The first two I shouldn't have let go but oh well. Might still get one, not sure. The gun should bump fire regardless of whether the pin is free floating or not. And if you upgrade the firing pin to a non-floating with a spring it will reduce the chance of slam fires, which I've had happen on an SKS.
 
I had 3 axe heads in my mailbox yesterday. I figured they would be good projects to kill some time when the weather is nasty outside. I'm going to get eyelets measured up and get some handles ordered for them. There's a 3lb 6oz head that I can't see a name on, a 3 lb 4 oz Craftsman, and one that is 2lb 3oz that is marked True American on one side and Mann Edge Tool Co. Lewistown PA on the other side.

I have a while pile of firewood to move from one side of the yard to the other. Wheelbarrow will make it easier - but there's a 4-foot fence between point A and point B. I think a nap is in order before I tackle this herculean task...

I think the first task I would do in this situation is put in a gate wide enough for the wheelbarrow. One can never have enough gates. My backyard has 8 gates of various sizes in the fence. Gotta admit, my back fences total nearly 1300 feet in length. :D

I have a better idea: I also have a pile of firewood that must be moved across the yard. The yard is covered with snow. There is no fence between points A and B. I will provision you with a sled that can be easily towed across the lawn. You will sleep even better after my wood is moved than you will before yours. :D

What kind of pile?:confused:

:p
 
I think the original buffalo wings were nothing more than wings tossed in a mixture of Franks and butter.

My "Secret" wing recipe is just wings tossed in Texas Pete (very similar to franks IMO) and butter.
 
Found a slight alternative to strapping my 9 to the outside of my Camelbak pack. Tucked in behind the kidney pad....well, it appears it will ride fine. Not inaccessible, not out for everyone to see (aka: steal).

Is that a unicorn helmet? Or a pink hippo? Hard to tell from the angle. And would it come a size to fit Guyon?

I had some Frank's once. So to answer your question: easily.

My wife (the Denver native) prefers Frank's over all others. I personally prefer Tabasco, and tend to switch between original, green, and chipotle. That and Sriracha... But Frank's is not bad, or Texas Pete, for that matter.

Unicorn. And yes, we had bought it for her on the Gunyons recommendation.
Functional, yet fabulous. A motto and lifestyle that he lives by.
