Oh my god this is the most awesome thing I have seen this week. We absolutely need to be prepared for when the zombies come! Show us the way Mr. Bane! :D

I've been through health-related graduate courses, firearms were mentioned in passing if at all. No doubt the faculty was anti (for the most part - my favorite professor was a good old boy), but they kept it pretty professional. Can't say I've ever had a physician ask me about guns, though...

Which is to say, not at all, unless you hit someone in the eye while driving and the lose control and have a fatal crash. It's the person using it that's deadly.

How? It's not an option on the DMV website.

Man, those Great War SMLE sniper rigs are just so fascinating. And rare! Only ever see them in books, sadly, and not in my living room, where they belong. :D

Justin - amen. It's a poor argument to say that people criticizing something don't "get it", but I do have to wonder if those who heap scorn on B&B have actually watched the program. It holds up pretty well after a decade or so, too.

So the image on the site world.guns.ru is not the original version? Interesting, I can't decide if it would be even uglier with the Enfield's false pistol grip stock, or if it would add some desperately needed class...

If a public range is what you can use, then your choice is, do I practice, or not? The odds are pretty long that you'll get injured by the negligence of others at the range, so don't be overly concerned (i.e., don't worry about abstracts, be worried about bad practices you actually see). In...

Nice! Not Aussie, I presume?

What's the Enfield component? The sling swivels?

Okay, MJ - how about some scoped SMLEs or P14 (T)s? :)

Raufus, explained.

Start saving now, because M17s that haven't been butchered start at around $500 for decent. Lee Enfields are still relatively cheap due to a combination of ammo prices and old wives' tales.

Seems to be a lot of "remanufactured" stuff on there, not sure I'd trust it. Also they sell that fake "Raufus" stuff. They'd be a good complement for SOG on the list though, you can fire fake ammo in your fake rifle! :p

You'll probably be fine if you get a #1 head. It's not a safety issue, it's an accuracy issue.
