Tool Using Animal says: Dec 15, 2010. 1:31 PM
Myself, a scout scope mount, and scope, for my Mosin Nagant, my wife some woodworking projects she wanted.

What sh'e getting me or herself, I dunno.
Tool Using Animal in reply to Tool Using AnimalDec 22, 2010. 7:04 AM
BTW, my wife bought herself a Kindle. Coolest toy ever, I'm reading my brains out.
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to Tool Using AnimalDec 15, 2010. 11:08 PM
Nice
Tool Using Animal in reply to MegaMetal8Dec 21, 2010. 1:10 PM
And it looks sick, can't wait til I have some range time.


mosin 011.JPG
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to Tool Using AnimalDec 22, 2010. 1:08 AM
Awesome!!

Is it an air rifle?
Tool Using Animal in reply to MegaMetal8Dec 22, 2010. 5:58 AM
No, it's a Mosin Nagant, a Russian bolt action rifle from WWII. (The bolt was removed while I worked on it.)

During the war the Russian manufactured over 20 million. Because of this, they are extremely common and can be found online and at gun stores for between $75 and $150. And the fact you can find ammo for 20 cents a round makes them one of the least expensive large caliber rifles to own and shoot.

MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to Tool Using AnimalDec 22, 2010. 9:46 AM
Its a real gun that shoots?
aeray in reply to Tool Using AnimalDec 22, 2010. 8:31 AM
I didn't know you were a fan too. Have you shot it yet? Here is the most horrifying version I've seen yet: the Obrez.
bounty1012 in reply to aerayJan 17, 2011. 7:37 PM
Reminds me of a sawn-off shotgun.
Tool Using Animal in reply to aerayDec 22, 2010. 3:38 PM
How can anyone not be a fan? ;-)

Just got back from the range, boy is my shoulder sore. Was a great day mid 60's, no one on the 100 yard range but me, and the range officer was more interested in playing with his golf cart than bothering me.

Scope was rock solid.
aeray in reply to Tool Using AnimalDec 22, 2010. 4:34 PM
When I first got mine I went out and put 30 rounds through it right away. Ouch. I've decided to keep the open sights, unless I can find some apertures I like (I have a biathalon background), but I am working on a laminated birch thumb-through (since I'm 6' 5" the stock stock is a bit short).

Oh, I got a 10/22 carbine for X-mas, courtesy of my wife!
aeray in reply to aerayDec 22, 2010. 4:35 PM
And- Did you look at the Obrez? Did you already know about them? Heinous! Notice that in the vid, the shooter isn't putting his thumb around the back of the grip.
Tool Using Animal in reply to aerayDec 22, 2010. 7:31 PM
I'd seen a picture before, but thought it was a photoshop, that's a nasty piece of work.

Your wife is a wonderful woman ;-) My mosin was a gift from mine a couple of years ago. I'm 6'6" myself and yeah those russian soldiers must have been short fellows. Post pix of the thumbhole stock when you finish it.

I keep planning to pick up another mosin for an "art" project rifle.
stale56 says: Dec 18, 2010. 2:39 PM
My list?
A few video games
Tarn-X
IPod touch External Mic
Xbox 360 controllers
Cheap laser pointers
Flash drive
I'm probably going to add Duct Tape and Electric Tape onto my list.

I'd ask for more rubber bands, but I have about 3/4 of a pound of 64s and a 1/2 pound of 33s, and I don't use them that often.
Tornado96 says: Dec 17, 2010. 5:29 PM
Me well. I'm getting NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII. :-)
Also a new video camera and hopefully more knex :-)

Goodhart says: Dec 12, 2010. 3:56 PM
I already sent for it.....three books of inspiration.
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to GoodhartDec 12, 2010. 11:35 PM
Ok
Goodhart in reply to MegaMetal8Dec 15, 2010. 2:25 PM
They're on their way ! :-)
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to GoodhartDec 15, 2010. 11:09 PM
Woooo
Goodhart in reply to MegaMetal8Dec 16, 2010. 6:11 AM
I am kind of excited to get started on some of the ideas....not that I don't get them (ideas) from here; but I have difficulties with "inspiration" when I don't know what to look for, to inspire me, so the search engine really doesn't help me much.
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to GoodhartDec 16, 2010. 9:22 AM
I wish there was a "Book of inspiration" for knex.

Everyone is bored of nothing exciting coming out. (Apart from selez's new gun, XD)
Goodhart in reply to MegaMetal8Dec 16, 2010. 2:06 PM
I have something in the works, not really anything to get excited about unless I can clean it up a bit (it's looking a bit crude at the moment). And fairly simple yet very "hackable" and easily improved on.
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to GoodhartDec 16, 2010. 11:51 PM
Cool!
Goodhart in reply to GoodhartDec 16, 2010. 2:08 PM
PS: ANY book can give me inspiration, but mostly books on odd, weird, science discoveries, or on building something that sparks my "hey I can do that, only differently/better" neurons :-)
MegaMetal8 (author) in reply to GoodhartDec 16, 2010. 11:51 PM
