Today is the day

Notified by CMP that my order has been received 11-16-09 and requirements verified. It is on the way to sales (where it will be processed after those in front of me are done). It has been running about 30 days for rackers, so even with the Thanksgiving holiday, should be here as a nice Christmas present for myself!

I am hoping for a flat bolt, a non-foreign stock, and Inland dated barrel to go with the receiver.

Last year, my wife gave me a Russian Saiga 7.62x39 which I restored to its intended pistol grip AKM form! I love Christmas!

Hey, wait just a minute there Grasshopper! Owning ONE carbine makes you a collector. Owning more than one makes you a SICKO! Welcome to the sickness, its the only way to go!!

And owning one from each maker means you are an addicted.

And owning one from each maker means you are an addicted.

I am of the opinion that only means that you have a method to keep your cash flow away from your spouse!

Oh my gosh! i have always said that i am a carbine shooter, not collector. But i find myself typing left handed, on major pain pills in a rented hospital bed in my front room, less than a week after major shoulder rebuild, plotting getting my third carbine when i haven't even got my second from CMP! it is an insidious disease!

Now i am asking myself if 20 fifteen rounders and 10 thirty rounders are going to be enough! Dang, then there are pouches 2 GI 30 rounders and one rigger pouch is barely enough. Fortunately a dozen double mag pouches should do. of course i only have one used m4 leather handled in an early m8 sheath. i'll have to get zanother, or an m3 trench knife if i restore one to ww2 trim. Speaking of restoring, do i do it correctly, or with repro. It is endless!

I HAVE OPENED PANDORA'S BOX AND CAN'T GET IT ALL BACK IN. SAVE ME!
