Not a VX, but as good as I could get...(new pics)

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to pass your thoughts on to the guys who are really putting "foot to *****". My last two trips, I was outside playing cowboys and terrorists, but this trip I am a total FOBIT or as I used to refer to them, Former Action Guy.

I'll see if the maintenance guys will let me take it home. Hey, guys are bringing back Iraqi dogs, why not?

If you find a nice Soviet era SVD, maybe you could sneak it back for me. I'll give you $2000 for it!

Take care,

Bart

No joke, I wish, but I think it would be a bit more than 2k. You get that for the chinese ones easy now days. Remember when CDNN used to have them for 1200? I have shot them before and if it makes you feel better my VEPR was more accurate, but not near as cool......

Man, prices over here are SOARING. The last complete NDM-86 in 7.62x54 I saw was selling for $4500. The .308 versions still go for $2500-$3500 but I don't want a .308 (pricey ammo and slam-fire issues). Now, a true Soviet SVD, these are selling for $7000-$9000!

I don't think I will ever own one, even though it is my dream gun. There is a chance, that someday I will splurge and get my grubby mits on a NDM-86, but a real Dragonuv is out of the question for me...

That is nuts. I went through a drag phase back when even 1200 was a lot and never got one. I did just get an S/A 1919 and a BOHICA .50 though before I deployed and I intend to make some sort of mount on the VX, either off the roof and standing on a step in the hitch or off one front corner with the mount as part of the bumper where you stand on the side of the VX and shoot over the hood. Should be fun.....

I like your style, I've been thinking of making a canon like roof box that contains 6 Saiga 12s all connected to solonoids so I can fire the triggers from inside the VX. Throw some 20 round drums on each one, and have a nice lead thrower up top for any sort of situation that would require such a device. I bet the shock wave from 6 rifles firing 12 guage slugs all at the same time might crack the windsheild though...but then again, it would certainly get those slow people outta the fast lane!

Interesting idea, if you sequenced the firing it shouldn't be too bad, but I hear the wraithmaker drums are awful and jam a lot aside from outrageously expensive. Plus I think there is some law against the solonoids firing a gun. What's to stop you from cranking up the speed and now it is esentially FA. Yes I think too much about this stuff. I get a fair amount of time for that here.

I took her on a little field trip today. We checked out the sights at Sadam's former playground, now known as Camp Slayer, where I work.

First we stoped for a photo in front of the former Baath party HQ...



Then we went and checked out the "Victory over America" palace. (Didn't work out so good) That is the "Perfume Palace in the background, where Sadam and sons allegedly kept their sex slaves.



Lastly we stopped by the playground that Sadam made for his grandkids known as "Flinstone Village"



All told we had a good time, despite it being about 120 degrees. Well, back to work....
