And Pigmy's? Excellent!!

Now about painting your "mine" Bronx Rose and fur lined athletic supporter... or was that Steve?... No matter, I see a disturbing pattern here, and it applies to you both.

I think you need to take two M39's and call us in the morning.

Ok, now I'm offical, I have 1 and it's a 1946 M44 all the way from Izhevesk. I'm planing on adding a few more and modifing 1 or 2 for farious tasks.

Didn't you mean Nefarious?

Basic rights of passage into the world of MN's:

To officially own an Izzy you have to know where it is in Russia. Lattitude and Longitude will do, or exact distance and direction from Moscow and Stalingrad.

This applies to Tulas, and Setroyetsk's, as well as the same information for Sakos, Tikkas, and VKT's using Helsinki as the staring point.

Plus if you plan to buy a 91/30 you must watch Enemy At The Gates 4 times (mainly to see Rachel Weisz's bum and lots of Mosins).

I think should be good enough to get me in the club. What'cha think ?
I've seen E at the G once, so I guess 3 more times is in the near future.

Ok, here's my book report on Tula too. Anything else ?? hahaha

Tula (Russian: Ту́ла) is an industrial city in the European part of Russia, located 193 km south of Moscow, on the river Upa. Population: 481,216 (2002 Census); 543,000 (1990 est.). Tula is the administrative center of Tula Oblast. Dialing code: +7 4872.
The town has existed since at least the 14th century. Some historians believe that Tula should be identified with Taidula, an obscure locality mentioned in a chronicle under the year 1146.
In the Middle Ages, Tula was a minor fortress at the border of the Principality of Ryazan. As soon as it passed to Muscovy, a brick citadel, or kremlin, was constructed in 1530. It was a key fortress of the Great Abatis Belt and successfully resisted a siege by the Tatars in 1552. In 1607, Ivan Bolotnikov and his supporters seized the citadel and withstood a 4-months siege by the tsar's army. In the 18th century some parts of the kremlin walls were demolished. Despite its archaic appearance, the 5-domed Assumption Cathedral in the kremlin was built as late as 1764.
In 1712, Tula was visited by Peter the Great, who commissioned the Demidov blacksmiths to build the first armament factory in Russia. Several decades later, Tula was turned by the Demidovs into the greatest ironworking centre of Eastern Europe. The oldest museum in the city, showcasing the history of weapons, was inaugurated by the Demidovs in 1724. The first factory to produce samovars industrially was also established there in the course of the 18th century. After the Demidovs moved the centre of their manufacture to the Urals, the city continued as a center of heavy industry, particularly in the manufacture of war matériel.
During the Great Patriotic War (World War II) of 1941 to 1945, the city was important in the production of armaments. Tula became the target of a German offensive to break Soviet resistance in the Moscow area between October 24 and December 5, 1941. The heavily fortified city held out, however, and Guderian's Second Panzer Army was stopped near Tula. The city secured the southern flank during the Soviet defence of Moscow and the subsequent counter-offensive. Tula was awarded the title Hero City in 1976. It is home to Klokovo air base.

The report is on Tula... the map is of Izhevsk. Nice try. When you have a Tula you get credit. LOL Also next time in your own words.

I know a sales person here in the desert that is from Tula. Tried to talk about the arsenal, but no go. Must have family in the old country.

Now go shoot that thing. It will go BOOM!!!
