Quiet night here at Rancho Ballistica. I napped during the day so I am taking advantage of the quiet (girlfriend is off rousting bad guys) to put away accumulated gear that has, well, accumulated. See, new gear is always showing up…magazines, knives, backpacks, freezedrieds, ballistic nylon of some kind or another, books, radios, etc, etc. Its supposed to get squared away in the bunker but many times it winds up sitting next to my computer as I play with it and look for interent aricles/reviews about it. (or write some as the case may be.) After a few weeks of this, the computer room starts to look like the bunker. So, Im resolving to get a handle on this and get most of this gear put away.

Found someone who may want to take my FAL and some mags for a decent price. If this occurs, I’ll be picking up another PTR for the girldriend. (However, I will be getting the telestock version for compactness in storage.) This means that Ill also have to order up another fifty mags but at around $1.75 that isnt too bad a hardship. Speakig if the PTR, I have eight battlepacks of SA on the way to squirrel away specifically to feed my lovely new Evil Black Rifle. Notice that surplus .308 is a bit hard to find lately? Plenty of .30-06 floating around though…..

Started watching the new season of ‘Jericho’ today. The first ep of the new season was basically a rehash of all of last season as told in flashback. What those in the trade would call a ‘bottle episode’. The second ep of the season, however, shines alot more info into my favorite character, Robert Hawkins. So, Im still interested in the series and will be watching it regularly for the rest of the season. All hail TiVo!

REMINDER: Stripped AR lowers – get ’em while you can.
Notes From The Bunker
Were to get 30-06?
J&G Sales seemed to have plenty last time I saw their ad in Shotgun News.
NATO .308 is scarce and ‘the Ammoman’ has M855, but only to government and law enforcement.
Also, Hawkins has a SADM/MADM in his basement.
Yeah, I saw that. Question is, why and who does it belong to? Whoever owns it is definitely gonna want it back.
You get my email?
Not sure. Might wanna resend it.
Email or snailmail? I got a snailmail from Orlando FL today that Im assuming has to do with you. Or didja mean email?
I emailed you concerning the snailmail that you got. If it’s from Orlando Gun Vault, yes, that’s my guy.
Yup, thats whats here.
FAL
Why would you want to sell your FAL? If I remember, it was a nice factory Embel rather than one made from a parts kit?
Selling FAL
Okay, I see the mag issue, but I have always preferred the feel and look of the FAL. And to insure that a used mag is reliable you have to run some rounds through it. Not cheap or easy these days in 7.62 NATO.
What should I enter for the Shipping Address at the PayPal page?
POB 1893
Missoula MT 59806-1893
or just make something up.
Re: FAL
If I have 2 semi-auto .308’s I need them to be identical 1 FAL + 1 HKlone does not work.
