It's Alive!

I was released from the hospital a week ago yesterday; just chilling and relaxing at home. A nasty Urinary Tract Infection that went septic. I don't even remember the wife taking me into the ER!

I should start posting tomorrow.

Default Back again, by popular demand?

I had a pistol on consignment at a local shop. It sold so I took partial payment in cash, the rest in a "new in the box" gun.

Imported by K&G in California in 1993-4 time frame; the Arsenal Bulgarian Makarov was purpose made as a civilian pistol, not a Milsurp. As far as Makarov quality goes the Bulgarian Makes fall behind the East German guns; which far and away are the best Makarovs made. Fit and finish on the East German Mak is on a par with Post WWII Walther PPK/S made guns. The Bulgarians are on a par with the Tokarovs and other Eastern European Milsurp Pistols...

Mine, still in its factory box, was unfired (other then at the factory) - it was covered inside and out with cosmoline! A stiff brush, mineral spirits, and some elbow grease and it cleaned up nicely!

Glad to hear you're well and over with that mess and looking forward to you resuming your posts.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
