It's an insidious drug the KGB put into the cosmoline - makes those crazy Amercanskis keep buying the ex-soviet guns, thus helping to build their economy. Once your hooked, it's an addiction.
Got five of 'em myself.

Don't try to figure it out it won't do any good. Don't try to resist the lure is too strong.

No whirlwind, it's not the rifles, it's YOU....ALL YOU...YOU'RE SICK!

I reckon it's sorta like having a fine, old, Butt-Ugly dog; you joke about its appearance, but take it everywhere you go. And, look at that....there's my old, worn out 91/30 laying right here next to me. As long as it doesn't start shedding, it's a keeper.

Are those the dates for the Tulsa Gun Show ?

[whirlwind]

HAHAHAHA well james,if im sick i dont wanna get well! and yup! thats the dates for wannamachers (sp?) gun show at the expo square! not "the"big one but A big one lol if you goto the expo centers web site they have a calendar of events for the whole year ....i have my year of gun shows all planned out! :nod:

I gave up trying to figure out exactly what the allure is. I just ante up whenever I see one, because I know I've gotta have it....

[JAMES]

Thanks for the info, whirlwind. I'll have to get up there one of these days.....and drag home another old rifle!

[whirlwind]

hey james,the really big one is in the fall! not sure what month i havent been to their site in a while but its billed as the grand national gun and knife show. wannamachers is good sized and sometimes has better prices on many things but ive seen the most military surplus rifles at the grand national.

Thanks again, whirlwind.
