Mr. Speaker with your name is quite well known down here. His first name is Newt. Ex-Speaker of the House.

I am a die hard purist. Not my cup of tea either. Sorry. Your header drew me here to comment. But challenge a purist to answer, and some of us will.

I wonder what those Canadians would do if the value of a Rusky SKS rose to the value of its 'Murican counterpart, eh? I highly doubt there would be as many bubbas....  :banghead:

Ammunition / Re: Things are getting better
« Last post by Onepoint on Today at 07:18:34 AM »
Heh, I don't know if you can really say its there when you have to schedule a middle of the night run to get it. For most people and normal schedules its safe to say it not yet regularly available at Walmart.

 I am seeing more, its still not staying on the shelves unless its very high priced. I expect to see more though, prices will stabilize a little better , at which point I and probably millions more like me will start to use and buy more, and it will again get short for while after that, though probably not like now.

The good news is that it is pre cancerous and has not spread so after they remove the 7cm of bad section it will be gone.
 The bad news is from being shot I have less then half of the intestines that I should. So if they need to take to much there wont been enough left to reconnect thus the colostomy bag.

General Discussion / Re: Digital camera help, please - need to buy a new one
« Last post by Rocketvapor on Today at 07:05:44 AM »
I agree that cell phone cameras have gotten awesome but you will always be limited by sensor size (surface area to collect photons), aperture (to allow those photons in) and optical quality of the lens elements (to allow those photons to travel straight). 
The consumer influences camera features.  By being obsessed with pixel count and digital zoom ratios they have asked for, and received, multi-megapixel cameras digitally zoomed to give sub-megapixel images.
There isn't a good way to replace sensor surface area and big glass aperture to produce quality photographs with something you can fit in your pocket.
Zoom is either optical magnification or digital.  A 4000X3000 pixel image can be viewed through an 20 power optical telescope and still be a 4000x3000 pixel image or you can digitally zoom to save the central 640X480 pixels. Both will look the same on a 640X480 display.
Phone macro?
BTW The original images were too large to fit here.

I forgot to mention they do have 7 more packs of 50 in stock if anyone is interested.  They shipped very fast as well.

When i was in school, the only graduation I got was at my senior yr. And plus a card with $20.00 in it from my greedy grandparents! (I didn't think they even wanted to give up the $20.00) :lol:

Anyways, from K-5, we showed up on the last day of school for 15 mins to get our report cards then, the teachers kicked our butts back home!!! 6-7, we had our report cards mailed home. (no grad parties) & grades 8-12, I refer to as my prison yrs in hell espically grades 11 & 12th!!! :lol: I WANTED TO HIT PEOPLE!!!! But, i kept my cool!!! I was a 19 yr old senior & didn't want to screw up my rights to own guns. I more than likely would of been arrested for assault & not gotten detention.

Curio and Relics / Re: Chinese Type 53

i got my 1954.8 (august 1954) T-53 and it is matching except the bolt. stock has 2 short gouges and a scratch that i thought was broken stock ,but was only as deep as shellac. my 1954.9 is only barrel and stock matching so i will keep the 1954.8 as according to 7.62X54R a matching T-53 is a 7 on 1-10 desirability while a non matching is a 5. my 1944 russian M44 was only a 1 on the scale.
