If the questions make you uncomfortable go to another thread and troll elsewhere.
What? I have answered your question, while schooling you at the same time.

I never said you made a statement, let me refresh your memory, cause it seems to be a little off...

Becuase your question is 1 sided and ignorant.

It got caught and corrected - and now those who arrived late think that we are nitpicking - when the truth is that OP displayed ignorance about the topic early on.
They won't believe you! Even though you are correct....

I wish I could help ya, and I feel bad you suffer with a Wasr 10........ Just think if you had coin before Bill Clinton was a wet dream you could have had real Ak's for a song..... I recall in the early 90's these were selling for 100 bucks.... maybe less.

I didn't buy any till after 911...... So I felt the sting too.........

\me I am 60 years old and play as hard as i work. I ride a heavy cruise with my wife almost all I want less my back.

I go shoot my Ak, 30-30 and flinters any time it pleases me and all I have to do is walk to the field out back. I see moose deer turkey and bear regular.

When we came here we tore down all the No tresspassing signs and could give a hoot who ever so walks over this land.

All I ask is no trash and no improper defication... You modern people don't even know how to chit in the woods! A lesson dig a hold 4 to 6 inches deep and cover the blasted hole! House cats can be smarter.

I don't even own a cell phone much less a smart phone and it surprises me that modern people like a phone smarter than they are.

Yiou can continue to whine, but know i will just be shooting my AK-47, and no bans will come ever and that my 3 year old grandson will be shooting gramps guns soon enough.. And my muskets.
9,000 posts in two years and you rail against modern technology and call me the "modern man". if it sucks for anyone, it sucks for you

WTF??

Roughing it, on the intenets

My neighbors are arming themselves like never before. With the world changing so quickly for the worse many want to have plenty of guns on hand.

I know a paranoid single guy who owns at least 5 guns waiting for the next riot. You only have two hands, if you get attacked, what is the point of having 5 guns, unless you are an octopus. Now if you are collector that is one thing, but to say you need 5 + for protection makes no sense.

Well I have a Romanian SKS and I had a lot of ammo for it so I picked up the WASR 10 cheap, it's a lot of fun

It's very reliable and that 75 round drum never malfunctions, but it's not very accurate compared to my good stuff, for close work though It would be just fine...

Too bad those surplus rounds cant be reloaded though...

The little AR15 is a mouse gun, accurate but my 11 year old niece wont ever give it back to me when she's here

Now .308 is a different story...

Survival rule number 1.

If you have 1 thing, you have none. If you have two, you have 1.

Prepare for the possibility of loss of weapons.
