New Ghillie Suit Plans

The Ghillie project has regained steam. I will be getting the parts tomorrow, and this time instead of hand sewing the whole thing, I will be using a sewing machine, significantly reducing the time and labor required for the manufacturing process. More big news is of the addition of a Romanian PSL to my gun collection. Similar in appearance to the Soviet SVD, the PSL is capable of accuracy comparable to the SVD, (about 1.5 moa) and I have achieved this size of group with Russian factory ammunition, no rest, and a Cold War era scope. Needless to say the rifle itself is probably capable of better accuracy. Sure wish I could get my hands on some 7.62x54r reloading equipment....

Wow... fail...

I have recently found out that Vasili Zaitzev's epic battle was actually a wonderfully crafted piece of Soviet propaganda. Go Soviets.

Ugh. Frustration.

-sigh- my ghillie suit has stalled and lost all momentum. pretty much, i have lost most of my interest in the project, i still have an interest in finishing it eventually, but i have more important concerns now.

Shooting Range

My latest trip to the shooting range was a blunder. The AK47 magazine wouldn't work. We couldn't find non steel ammo for the Mosin-Nagant. We had to leave early so we didn't shoot the shotgun, however, it was not a complete failure. Dana had the opportunity to fire the bolt action .308, you were a bad ass sniper, Dana, and the WWII Soviet revolver. I hope you guys had fun, and I apologize for how it ended. We will go shooting again, hopefully with better results.

Stalled Ghillie Suit

The project is going slower than expected because Rebekah and have started dating. I haven't even played x-box since we started. Anyways the ghillie suit will be delayed.

New Poll!

I have a new poll at the bottom of the blog! check it out! I voted for the Arctic Warfare Super Magnum, or AWSM, which sounds like awesome. Because it is.

If you pick the last option, leave me a comment telling me your answer.

Alex, the Gateway Drug

Rebekah, sometimes you scare me. Yesterday you told me that I was your gateway drug to guns, war movies, violence, and first-person-shooter video games. Today you call me and discuss sniper positions and tactics at Kings-Dominion. Should I be worried? Probably not. I love how when we first started seriously hanging out, you were anti-gun and I offered to let you hold the AK-47. You were almost too scared to, but your sense of adventure overtook the way you were raised, and later that night, when we went to Wal-Mart, you absorbed, and retained more knowledge than you probably ever had and will again. Since then you have played airsoft, watched some excellent war movies (better than Disney?), killed a virtual Nazi, fired real guns, and best of all, bought a pellet pistol of your own (how did it feel?). I am glad that I helped convert you to the gunner side of life, but even more glad to have someone to discuss topics like urban sniper tactics without being suggested to a psychiatrist.
