Two and half months ago, I took the oath of office as the Prime Minister of Israel. I pledged to establish a national unity government – and I did. I believed and I still believe that...

As of this morning, I have joined the Mosin Nagant club! (I feel like a kid with a new toy!) Model: M91/30 Country: Russia Armory: Izhevsk Date of Mfr: 1942 Caliber: 7.62 x 54R Overall, I would rate this weapon as "very good" condition. There are a few minor nicks in the woodwork, no cracks. Serial numbers on the receiver, bolt, butt plate, and trap door all match. The rifling in the barrel appears to be in excellent condition. But wait! There's more! Unbeknownst to me, it came with a complete set off accessories! Sling and dog collars, bayonet, cleaner/oil...

I am currently in the market for a good used beginners .22 Cal. rifle for my 12 year old son (and some fun for Dad!). We have looked at new and used single-shot and semi's at the local gun shops. (We came across a Glenfield .22 semi-auto with adjustable front and rear sights. It also had the bridge for a scope. Unit was in very good condition for $75 at a local gun shop.) I realize that many good .22 Cal. rifles can be purchased new for $200 or less. However, money is tight. I have a friend who has...
