    It was a horrible day. Just horrible. What are are odds that yet another canoe accident would happen? I'm starting to believe in the Hoosier Rectangle (the Triangle thingy is taken). Anyway, some good news is that there were some photographers around and there may have been some pictures taken just prior to the sinking. I'll make some calls and see if I can get them posted tomorrow.

    One of the P1s was made in 79 and the other in 82. Both look like new weapons. I was really pleased. The bores in both are spotless, shiny and with nice rifling. The PSL was in really good shape, too. A couple of swipes through the barrel and it was clean. Just a hand cleaning on the gas tube. I think I did okay...until I started across the lake.

    Nato 7.62x51 has 150fmj=2800fps

    Balistically the two are identical for all purposes. The felt recoil of the MN 91/30 is due to stock shape.

    Gosh Rick, you just can't keep a good canoe! I hope you had your flotation device, or at least a zip lock to fill with hot air!
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Almost the same thing. I had beans for lunch. Hard to keep your head above water, though.

    As luck would have it, there was a gentleman taking pictures the day the canoe went down. He was kind enough to send me some snaps. Sure wish I hadn't lost those guns.

    P-38's too, why you little....

    It's a nice looking rifle.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Mighty fine new additions to the collection that already sits at the bottom of the lake.

    I'll bet some dang fish is doing range trials. There's all sorts of ammo lost in the lake, too.

    I have a bipod that will be in this week. For the rifle of course. I'm all jiggy with excitement. I'll just walk to the edge of the lake and give it a big chuck so it can be with the rifle.

    I've looked at those. Do you think ammo will become a problem? There's nothing worse than having to throw your weapon in self-defense. Too expensive to be used as a rock.

    There is plenty of commercial ammo available, but it looks like the cheap surplus has dried up, for the time being. It probably won't be long before another big shipment comes in. Last year, people were selling tins of 1200+ rounds, for $100-$120.

    .....oh...and you can also get a 9mm barrel, for them.
    (Which, of course means that you will need to get at least two. One in 7.62 x 25, and one in 9mm.) LOL

    You have to get out more. By the way, did you know gas is up to .75 a gallon? That's outrageous. Why, when I was a kid......
