A helmet or a tin foil hat?
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Let's just put it this way: If the Zombies show up at my house, I need shooters; not rifles (or ammo).... :attn:

I heard that applied to another weapon from a movie.

I had enjoyed inspecting and cleaning up my first 1938 91/30 from Tula, so much, that I bought two more almost immediately. Great history and potential in those long guns!

Our local weather finally warmed up enough the other day that I managed to give my latest two Russian ladies their first bath and massage in many years. These two 91/30s were made in Izhevsk in 1933. I stripped off their clothes and parts in the garage and sunlight, cleaned them up, and liberally applied appropriate oils to the metal and wood parts, then wiped 'em down and reassembled like any good soviet trooper of that era would have done. Interestingly enough, the sun must have been embarrassed to catch them stripped like that, because a snow squall (in true Russian spirit) roared into the area and forced me to close the garage door to keep the huge blowing flakes off the girls' bare metal. At least the guns are cleaned, oiled, and stored in the safe. Now I still need to clean up their oil-solvent cans, and bayonets. All three arrived with cans, bayonets, ammo pouches, and cleaning kits w/ screwdriver/firing pin tester. I also need to do a headspace check on these last two, especially the one that has a quirky bolt. Good thing I ordered extra bolts from E-Sarco!! I think the arsenal or someone switched bolts because it feels like is doesn't fit right when opening and closing it. To be continued...
I stand by God, His Word, and our State and Federal Constitutions.
I sure wish the government would do the same.

2 - 1933 Izhevsk 91/30
1 - 1938 Tula 91/30
1 - 1944r Izhevsk 91/30 ex-sniper (arsenal-welded scope holes, minus bent bolt)

Really? :brolleyes: You belong to an online firearms forum, you're already in their database. If you don't like the poll, then don't participate.

It ain't their database I'm overly concerned with. But, the wife sneaks up and reads, hell, I swear she can read my monitor from across the room. :shock:

Let's see deal with "them" who may or may not care or ever appear, or deal with "her", and I'm usually asleep before her. Does the name John Wayne Bobbitt ring a bell :big shock: :no: :big shock: :chuckles:

If I ever run into a platoon of Cossacks chasing zombies, I might share. :thumbsup:

Sure, I can pick up the phone and ring for the coroner to come make a collection.
