Yes folks, I am still alive. I apologize for the lack of posting lately. Been absolutely slammed at work trying to get this software project deployed for testing and it has been one problem after another. I have been working 12 hour days for the past two weeks and just haven't had time to get material together.
On a brighter note, I did make a holiday purchase. Here is my latest acquisition, on its way to me as my holiday bonus:
It's a French MAS 36 bolt action rifle. It will be a nice companion to my MAS 49/56 carbine. It's very pretty and based on the photos provided by the FFL as seen above, it is in very good condition. I got it for a good price.
So alas, yet another (chamber) mouth to feed. I know, feel sorry for the woes I must endure. And because it is a French rifle, it needs a special diet of 7.5mm French. Fortunately, that is not hard to find with several dealers at the Chantilly gun show so I will stock up in February. It's not like there's a lot of folks out there with rifles in this caliber so I am sure I can play "Let's Make a Deal" on a decent quantity.
Happy Holidays everyone! Back after Christmas/Hannukah!

Heh, you're assuming that teh one will allow gun shows after January 20th.
Those French Mas semis are quite a lot of fun to shoot. My father acquired one last year and I was able to shoot it at the range earlier this year. It reminded me more than anything of a cross between an M1 Carbine and an SKS albeit with a bit more kick. The sights are a bit crude for distance work but at the 100 yards I fired it at, keeping on target was a piece of cake... Shoot it in good health
