i think they figured introducing wolves might cause a few eyebrows to raise so coyotes were the better alternative. i would not be to keen with wolves loose in the area where my kids roam. they generally avoid people but do on occasion take down people like that jogger in alaska.

It is a fine line to walk, the balance between humans and nature.

Nature has a way of bringing balance to things, humans have a way of messing that all up...

I just bought a Czech VZ 24 (Czech produced Mauser G98 ) Great condition, all matching numbers.

Won't actually have it at home for a few more weeks so no pics until then.

Very nice, congrats!


I went to the shooting range this weekend and rented a Thompson. That is a gun I would love to have to play with!

 

[GrauGeist]

We have a Thompson in the family and it used to be a real kick in the shorts at the range. However, since the price of ammo (especially .45) has gone through the roof, it sits idle these days.

Also, loading the drum was never a fun task and it will take the end of your thumbnail off if given half a chance...

I came across a Radom P64 9x18 in pretty good shape(a little holster wear on the tip of the barrel) and due to my Polish heritage I said what the heck. It looks a lot like the Walther PPK and comes apart just like it. The double action trigger pull is awful, the SA not bad at all. So I ordered an 18lb hammer spring,20lb recoil spring and a new firing pin spring from Wolff and 20 mins later I've got a very decent trigger pull,what a difference. Now off to the range, ammo is decent. 18.00 for 50 rds. The 9x18 Makarov slots between the .380acp(9mm Kurz) and the 9x19. Ballistics are better than the .380 but falls short of the 9mm.

Finally managed to actually bring home the VZ24 (Czech built Mauser G98. ).

Can't wait to put some rounds through her.

Just added a re-pro M1907 sling to my Springfield. It's only a cheapo but its made of leather and looks the part.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Added a Springfield XD 45 .45ACP today.

 

[GrauGeist]

Sweet and congrats on the new addition!!

I've been eyeballing Springfield's 1911 clone lately, as I still miss my old-school Colt.

 

[Wildcat]

Cool!

My next handgun will be a 1911 as well.

What are you thinking about, a Springfield also?

I noticed that the Springfield has about the same weight, balance and "feel" of the old "slabside" Colt. When I held one, it was real comfortable, unlike alot of knockoffs.

nice...I really enjoy this "two posts for the price of one click" BS...
