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

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....

Could always be worse I suppose. I had word from my cousin (through my aunt) in Afghan a few weeks ago that he was clunking around in a Toyota pickup that had more oil leaks than the total number of cars in a trailer park at any given time. I guess bullet holes will do that though, heh.

Watch out for those lead mosquitoes!

AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

I'm sitting here drinking a lousy St Pauli N.A. It's cold and kinda tastes like beer so I am doing much better than a lot of folks. You keep San Diego in line for me. I still have to decide what color to paint the VX this time when I get back. I may go black again.
