But my God, he's 93 years old. In my opinion anything past 80 is a hell of a gift. I Hope he pulls through and lives to be 113 or even more. I always love to see people live a long time, if they feel good and want to. But I'm not going to cry too hard if they don't. He's already lived a great life.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.

Really??????
I think Stoner did almost as much as did Kalashnikov. However the SMLE was another that played a big part in the history of the 20th Century. And what about Paul and Wilhelm Mauser. Mauser design rifles have done their share, in WWI and WWII as well. Not to take anything away from Kalashnikov, but he had a lot of competition.

Woody Guthrie song:
Woody Guthrie : Little Black Train
There's a little black train a-coming,
Coming down the track.
You've got to ride that little black train
but it ain't a-gonna bring you back.
You may be a bar-room gambler
And cheat your way through life,
But you can't cheat that little black train
Or beat this final ride.
You silken bar-room ladies,
dressed in your wordly pride.
You've got to ride that little black train,
That's coming in tonight.
Your million dollar fortune,
Your mansion glittering white,
You can't take it with you
When the train moves in tonight
Get ready for your saviour
Pick your business right.
You've got to ride that little black train,
To make this final ride.
You silken bar-roomladies,
dressed in your worldly pride,
You've got to ride that little black train
That's coming in tonight
You may be a bar-room gambler,
Cheat your way through life,
But you can't cheat that little black train,
Or beat this final ride.
There's a little black train a-coming,
Coming down the track.
You've got to ride that little black train
but it ain't a-gonna bring you back
Words of wisdom from Big Chief: Flush twice, it's a long way to the Mess Hall
I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
This is a pretty rare thing when you stop to think about it. Take your favorite firearms in the world - the ones that you've learned about in the greater levels of detail. Now think about how long you'd need to teach the finer points of running and maintaining that gun to someone who would need it to stay alive. I figure I could teach "AK 101" to a Neanderthal in about three or four hours, to a modern non-shooter in about two, and a person with moderate gun experience over a large cup of coffee. While no one can dispute the brilliance of the other giants of the firearms industry, you need to get a little nerdy to understand the nuances of their work. Kalashnikov was that very scarce kind of individual whose brilliance could be rapidly comprehended by the obviously non-brilliant.
Never mind the gun industry - the world could use more of those.

Yes, but we've just learned that Bigslug could probably teach the AK to the penguins in the time it takes to type this.

There is a reason why I use a quote of Mr. Kalashnikov as my sig line. As someone who works in technology, I appreciate his brilliance toward simplification.

Drives me nuts that the idiot is standing there with her finger on the trigger.
I have conducted that training....
So back too....Influenced more of the 20th Century than anyone else....
This sounds very interesting since One of the first areas I.O. improved was accuracy. Traditionally anyone owning or shooting an AK could only hope for 100 yard groups of four to six inches using iron sights, maybe more. “Poor” accuracy has always been the main argument against choosing an AK over an AR-15. I.O. has taken that issue off the plate. Their AK’s will group at two inches at 100 yards. And their retail prices starting at $676-$749.95.

Anyone know anything about this rifle? Sounds like a inexpensive alternative to an AR-15.
Recoil is how you know primer ignition is complete.
:that: :agree:
Actually the biggest improvement in accuracy is correctly made ammo. A longer sight radius helps. Common Russian ammo is made to inexact specs compared to S&B.
Two MOA from any semi-automatic that throws a 125 gr projectile is not bad for $700.00. My 30-06 Remington 742 can't do that.

Probably, but after watching Madagascar, I'd probably decline. The last thing those psycho birdies need is firepower.

I know this is going to sound ignorant, but who is that idiot old hag with her finger on the trigger...looks like Feinstein and pelozi's cuter sister
Welcome. That old hag is Feinstein. Cute, though... Man you really need to get out some.

Another scary thing is that she has a concealed carry and still hasn't a clue how to handle a firearm.
Yeah shows how much I pay attention to the media...or the antigun nuts. If I was that woman on the picture sitting behind Feinstein I'd be worried about the moron accidentally spraying me.
She has a concealed carry and is antigun...that makes all kinds of sense. But when you work for the Inept Empire I guess it does.
