Little known fact...

When you import cosmoline hundreds of thousands of gallons at a time and run it through the strainer, you can find cool stuff like this caught in the filters...

Is than a SMLE down there? Hmmm.

Once posted pictures, top comment was "Hey, you got a block of grease with a RIFLE in it!"

Critter: get a K-31 AND a 96/11. The 96/11 I bought was one of the most accurate milsurps I had ever owned. I regret selling it to raise funds for a different firearm.

Crap. I must be getting it from the wrong places. All my stuff has is engine blocks and machine tool parts.

Back at the 08 NRAAM I ordered 800 rds of 6.5x55mm right in the booth.

One of the smarter thing I have done in my life.

Checked the site, all they've got is .22lr trainer SMLEs. It's just...not the same.

Buddy Brian and I had a "shoot off" between his Swiss K31 and my Swedish M96.
The best?
Which ever we were shooting at the time. Neither Brian and I were up to the quality of the weapons.
Would never feel under-gunned with either.

I bought my first Swede from them. A Husqvarna M-38. I wish I had been as smart as Mad St. Jack and bought tons of their cheap 6.5x55 as well.

Yes, but a true weapons aficionado can tell you if you're gonna come up with a SMLE, Mosin-Nagant or K-31 just from the smell of the cosmoline.

I can't believe that I didn't see the SAMCO booth. Put the convention back on! I forgot something and need to return!
