Oh the humanity!

Post by MCR »

I would like you all to bow your head in a moment of silence in memory of the 4 Russian sks carbine rifles whom lost their lives in the recent Black Forest fire along with 40+ other firearms.

These are not MCR's firearms, they belonged to someone he knows

I think I would construct a Wall mounted Glass cabinet and mount them in it as a conversation piece with photos and paper clippings of the incident ( 1 of them anyway ) .

Welp.... a guy on another board is selling them as parts guns to raise funds and buy the guy who lost all these firearms and house a nice new Russian sks.

I bought one of the sks rifles as its for a good cause.

He just started with the sks rifles last night and they were gone in a few hrs. He will be randomly listing all the others until they are gone. I have no idea what else there is or how much they will be. I payed $70 shipped for one of the sks rifles shown above.

Yeah.... at least he has a guy thats is going to scrounge up enough greebacks by selling them to buy him something nice.
Ben Murray himself is going to rebuild a pistol of choice to hand back to the guy.

I have a complete barreled receiver I will get running using the non tempered parts. It will be as god intended and original configuration... so dont ban me! :chuckles:

What's wrong with those? I'd just put the pieces in a hollowed out chunk of 2X6 and go shooting!

On a serious note, that sucks big time. Nice that the owner has friends helping him out like that.

Thanks boss...

The rest of these 40+ rifles and handguns went to Ben Murray at Murrays Gunsmithing...... He will be saving as many as possible.
