Fun is a understatement, more like happy hunting. I'm good as long as the ammunition will last, longer than the "targets" do, have I stated that I dig my job!

Hey can you bring back some 7.62x39 rounds? I mean not inside you of course lol. Just wondering if you confiscate them you can bring them back and not destroy them. I'll gladly take them off your hands.

Most of that ammo we use here, in our AK's, and thats alot. You can get that stuff at wal-mart or any gun shop, but a gun show is the best place in bulk. I got a SKS and use wal-mart ammo in it with no problems. In the pic is a Russian PKM 7.62X54 Rimmed cartridge, 700 ish cyclic rate, would rather have a US M240.

Ches I know what you mean. I've been through that 3 times. Everytime it was a work related injury, had surgery every time. Killed my hours untill I was completely released.

Hey Rich. I know I can get the ammo at those places, but free or cheaper is way better lol. I have something like 660 rounds I bought through an ammo catilogue for about 75.00 I think. I have an SKS too I got the folding stock, sniper scope, flash suppressor, laser sight, and 4- 30 round clips. I go through a lot of ammo fast.

Sounds like it, sounds like you are one not to PO either with that set up. My SKS is a plinker, I just got a Mini-14 gonna tune it a bit, SCAR CQB stock, EOTech, Accustrut ect....
If I could bring back an **** load of ammo, I would, but its impossible to take outa here, on a civi flight. You driving the 92 or 93 south?

It will be the 92, it's the only one running at this time. I threw a rod awhile back on the 93, and don't have the money to fix it. One place I called said it was 2200 for a new motor and install. If I ever get back to working, it's first on the list to get fixed.
I'd love to get a mini 14, but what I really want is a 50 cal sniper rifle. I used to have a Tech 9, but I traded it for my 30 30. I fugured it was safer to show in public than the Tech 9 lol. And you're right with your first sentence. It's ummm gotten me in trouble before a couple of times.

Chompin at the bit to get outa here, counting the days. I traded my slot on the mission, they could not guarentee me getting back here to go on vacation.
I didn't want to risk looseing my tickets and the $1000 bucks they cost me. On a side note, the helo I was suppose to be on took a few hits (bullets) today on a operation.
Everyone is ok, just p%$$&d off and pay back is a MF. See you'all soon, yahoo.

The taliban/drug making folks aka "bad guys", that we are over here kicking there ****, shot at us with a AK-47, and for once managed to hit us.
No big deal happen's all the time, usually they don't get a lucky shot in, we beat them to it, like I said payback is a MF!
Anyway I am on the plane 17th, Kabul to Dubai to Atlanta (20 hrs) to Spg on the 18th @10:00 am.
I might have a new surprise to drive down to the GTE G2G, I 'm friggin stoked about it.
Going to go look at it and hope to pick up the 19th, I promise I will post a pic and info on it as soon as I get it.
See ya all soon, looking forward to it. R&P
