Aia 7.62x39

A few choice words, eh?
Glad the range wasn't too far away. What does fuel cost now in your part of the world?

As far as I know, the M10B1 was the 7.62 sporter model, the M10B2 the heavy barrel model, and the M10B3 had the ex mini-gun barrels.

As far as AIA still being in business, I don't know for sure. Their website seems to no longer exist.

Well 87 Octane is $1.25 litre at this moment but has been up and down like a ...well you know. We are really getting bent over by the oil companies and it does amaze me that they all have the same price. Someday someone is going to squeal and tell a court about price fixing. Everyone knows it happens but no one is going to do anything about it.

Thanks for the explanation of the difference between the 1,2 and 3. Would love to have a 2 or 3.

I heard that AIA was still building/selling in Australia but maybe that was just a rumour.

Hovering about the equivalent of CDN $1.53 per litre here at the moment. I just about double the value of my car every time I fill it up!.

Just be fortunate that you don't live in the socialist workers' paradise of UK: standard fuel is at £1.41 (= CDN$2.21)or so a litre at the moment, and on its way up again soon........

I expect by summer we will be paying somewhere around $1.50 a litre and what these oil companies don't realize is there is a breaking point where they can expect a serious backlash. IF people were organized and boycotted just one maker the price would drop like a stone within a couple of weeks.

All the whiners here say , "bottled water costs more", however you don't have to buy bottled water if you don't wish to where we need fuel to survive. Unlike many countries we in Canada are so spread out and to be honest public transportation stinks.

Well not much more than we are and prices here were $1.32 a few days ago but they wouldn't hold so back down a bit. What drives me crazy, and to be honest not a very far trip at times, is the fact I remember buying gas for my 1962 VW Beetle. At .36cents a gallon bone dry was $3.20 and that lasted me at least two weeks. I think that works out to a 8 cents a litre + or -. Cost me 1cent per mile to drive it IIRC. Mind you I did make a "little" less wage wise...LOL.

$2.21 per litre - how the devil do the silly stunts on "Top Gear" get funded?

I knew that fuel was pricey over there, just goes to show that a bloke shouldn't really whinge, there is always somebody in a worse situation than him...

Anyway, since I've managed to get us off topic, a couple of pics to get us back on.
