The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Merry Christmas to one and all on this great forum ! We went to our friends house for a Christmas Eve dinner touted as "living off the land dinner." The menu consisted of: Rabbit Elk Deer Trout Wild Turkey (not the drinking kind guys) Veggies Everything they served was shot, caught or grow...

Rifle Purchase Made So much for my 2013 gun ban for the year. Congrats !! You'll enjoy the rifle, the bolt action is different but a lot of fun to use. Would also recommend that you disassemble the bolt and clean/lub it very well before using. I use a small amount of "slide-glide" on the ...

I picked up two extra extractors 'just in case' but so far I haven't had to use them----I'd have to check but I think I paid $20 each from buymilsurp.com, which is a tad expensive considering the rifle was $99 ! Would also recommend you always use clips instead of loading single rounds, this apparen...

That will be me...crying and running like hell.

Wrong kind of shoes....I need track shoes with spikes so I can run faster, faster in the opposite direction of any snake.

With all these snakes in Montana I just ordered a new bike:

A quick google search shows that there are more snake bites confirmed in Montana than any other state. Along with the highest fatality rate due to the rural areas being so far from proper medical attention. :beek: :beek: :beek: :beek: :beek: Oh noes....btw, what's a google? I'm going to my doc for ...

We ain't got no stinkn snakes in Montana....well, I don't think so anyway. :vconfused: :vconfused: Besides, any self respecting grizz would chew them up before going to sleep so I'll be fine. Besides, just in case my sleeping companion gets nasty I'll bring along a Ruger 10/22 for protection. :shifty:

I'm gonna find a cave and cozy up to a grizzly for the winter--soft, fuzzy and something to keep me warm.

OMG...that snake would feed a family of four for a week ! Where do these things come from?

JYD, did you have to bring up Snakes on a Plane ? And then two other movies with those slithering monsters? Ok, no more Spam for you.

OMG: Snakes on a Plane.......If I was on that plane I'd still be in a rubber room.

I like the idea of the Warthog and or the 20mm. :) Either one would get his attention. BTW: The USS Slater is a fine looking ship. I once went aboard the USS Pompano, a WWII Submarine now (or was?) docked in San Francisco. As an ol' Army grunt I wouldn't have done well on a sub, those tight quarters...

I would not find the humor in that joke. I'd be beating feet so fast there would be rooster tails coming off both of them.

Upon further review: I'm gonna need a Main Battle Tank to take on T Rex so I'm thinking of borrowing a M2 Bradley. In fact, I'll use that same tank to take on that 20' slithering monster---I'm not messing around with these critters anymore, I want some armor plating around me.

Constrictor, reticulated, venomous, garden snake---it don't matter I dislike them all. I haven't slept well for two nights after reading this thread. :biggrin: Give me a nice normal four-legged predator any time, heck even a T-Rex. :shock: Wouldn't a T Rex be considered to just have two legs? Hey y...

Bacon in my pockets! Holy Cow...I'd be someone's dinner in about one nano-second. Maybe this snake thing isn't so bad after all...can they smell bacon?

Ok..now you guys have got my poor dog 'Jackson' in a nervous tizzy worrying about all these critters outside our door, he can hardly contain himself:

Thanks for the advance warning. Yup, we've had about 3" so far and it's still coming down, not real heavy, just a steady snow fall. Wind chill in the 10-12 range. Mountains are to our South but so far the wind is coming straight out of the North. One day in Yellowstone we saw a motorcycle rider...
