I live in a very heavily wooded area moderately elevated where the wind and sudden storms always knock trees down and damage power lines. Its the price we pay for a little bit of seclusion and beauty. If the power goes out, it's never more than a few days, so I keep a 7500 watter under the front porch. I did wire a whole house transfer switch to my main box and ran a 30amp power cord to the outside.

Russian / Re: 1951 Russian non or light refurb

Looks legit to me! Although there are no obvious refrub markings visible, that does not mean the rifle was not "freshened up". Here are just a few of the signs that a rifle was "freshened up", but no visible signs of refurb marking. If there are any repairs done to the stock meaning sanding, bowties, holes, and re-shellacking. If there is any visible re-bluing or black paint on any metal parts especially the butt plate. If the crown of the barrel is blued or painted black.
These are just a few examples where a rifle received a non refurbishment clean up but technically went through the process of turn in, inspection, and repair/refurbishment at an arsenal plant, but did not warrant any stampings. Anyways, it's a great looking rifle and definitely collectable.

Aside the from the BS of armor penetrating bullets being more of a threat than anything else which was always a red herring anyway, the very 1st thing that strikes me is the exception for police.  Why would police need incendiary rounds?   The state can have any weapon it wants, but tries to limit or out right ban the people from having it.  We don't have to imagine what would happen if they got their way.

The reality is the state is at war with the people. Sometimes hot, most times bureaucratic and lawfare, but it is contentious with the people and the constitution.

 I just watched a story the other day of a Jan 6er that got a life sentence after being pardoned for his Jan 6 conviction.  Apparently he planned to kill FBI agents, had a kill list and pretty extensive planning and weapons, but was stopped when a co conspirator rolled over on him after being arrested. He had started this before Trump came in.  I'm trying to condemn him, but really, before the pardons, we were at that point that was going to be the only way to redress the political persecutions, because the supposed party that represents the right does nothing, and in fact many times abets it. How many rioters have we seen prosecuted even now?  Only one political leaning suffers mass arrests and authoritarian punishment.  That seems pretty violent, but such is our society now.  It is however not such deviation of how tyranny works to alienate and make enemies of the subjects it want to control and use.  The pine tree riot that happened years before our open revolution to England was a group of men who broke into the Tavern room they were staying at and beat a royal sheriff and his deputy with tree branches after arresting people for illegally harvesting timber.  And that was after the Boston massacre, which itself was a response to a riot.  It takes years of building frustration and grievance with govt before the dam breaks and bodies start to fall in earnest. And we are well on our way of that pattern again as it start with ones offs, then groups, which is where we are at now, and finally open revolt.

Former Wisconsin police chief allegedly tried to help a dealer illegally import armor piercing rounds into US.

Crazy one out of Wisconsin:  https://www.wpr.org/news/former-wisconsin-police-chief-illegally-import-armor-piercing-rounds.

The article says it was "armor piercing incendiary" from Bosnia.  However, it would be nice to know exactly what was being imported.  There's a whole pile of ComBlock milsurp rifle ammo has steel cores to help stabilize the bullet in flight.  The hysteria around this sort of ammo has been intense over the last number of years, with ATF making claims that one-off braced pistols constitute a reason to prohibit importation.  Note:  "Pistol ammo" that's "steel core" is prohibited from importation, while "rifle ammo" is not prohibited.
