Cabela's has some Lefevers, a pretty hot gun with you guys - a year ago they'd have been snapped-up just to have.
Today they linger - money is short and they're somewhat on the shoddy side. Just having a specimen is not enough anymore!
Btw KY, I didn't broadcast the fact that I ripped off some poor ol'sap's Fox HE. Think you might be the badman!

So what is this about black guns? I thought they all were black. Except maybe Barbie's best gun...I'm sure it's pink.

The charging assist on the Mattie Mattels is actually part of a grand tradition in American military smallware. How about that 1903 that delivers the full package on case separation? Could it be that the wonderful old Rube Goldberg M1 can actually be loaded and cycled more reliably with the "Holbrook device" installed. Sad world where the most reliable downrange delivery system is a blowback 9mm? And they're usually GREEN plastic.

Thanks, Ken. Sorry about the vent, but having a shooter that shoots is about the most important thing to a Marine. Dan says "Sandy" was plenty accurate, when/if you could get her to speak....

Does anyone know if the Galil/Valmets (Kalashnikov variants that shoot our 5.56 round and are used by a Israel, SA, Finland, and some smaller countries) are more reliable than the M16? I've run into them in Guatemala, whose troops love them, but even there they are being displaced by Chinese AKMs, mainly because of price.

Hey, Jack, it's the "green plastic" time of year! My buddy has a green plastic DA .45 that really works. Of course, it is prominently stamped "Made in Croatia"....(Actually my black plastic Ruger P345 works fine and is made in our own Republic).

If you have anything of value to sell ...... sell it in Europe if you can. I recently sold a small painting I inherited . It sold in Europe for the high side estimate ...... AND ..... my US estimate was in USD ...... The painting went for the same number of Euros ....... A 50% premium. I bought a lot of very nice furniture in the UK in the 70's that now lives in storage. My next task is to get a 20' container and ship it to Germany for sale.

I'm serious, life is good. Just few weeks I bought new rifle in kal. 9.3x62 and put new top shelf 30mm scope from Central Europe on top of it. Can you guess who bought up the remaining inventory of Norma 'Oryx' 285 grainers from Able's of Huntsville, TX?
Now, as you probably surmised 9.3x62 is worth next to nothing on 2nd hand market. Am I worried by that fact? Nope!
How do you say it salut boyz, cheers,.....?
