Odds 'n Sods:
Yesterday, I helped a consulting client unload his household goods
from a 26 foot U-Haul moving van, in a driving rainstorm. He
is a prepper that naturally has lots
of heavy
six gallon food
storage buckets, copious field gear, a gun vault, and more than 100
ammo cans. Let's just suffice it to say that yesterday was a good day
for
practicing
Christian
patience
and
"building
character."

The folks at The
Pre-1899 Specialist tell us that their batch of 8 x 57 pre-1899 Turkish
contract Oberndorf Mauser rifles is nearly sold out. If
you want to buy one of two, then order them soon. This is by far
the nicest batch of Turks that they've ever acquired. Since they
were all made between 1894 and 1896, they are Federally exempt "antiques" --which
means no paperwork required for delivery to most states. (They come
right to your doorstep, with no pesky 4473 form required!)
