Knob Creek & 30 round grease gun mags.

I discover I have need of a dozen or so USGI .45 ACP M-3 grease gun mags for myself. The best place to pick these up in my experience is dickering with vendors at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. Unfortunately I will be at the NRA conclave that weekend. Are there any readers who are going to Knob Creek that weekend who might pick me up some? It ought to be a buyer's market this year for a whole variety of reasons. Of course I'll reimburse you for the expense. Please drop me an email if you can.

I'll contact my friend who is going - he will be looking for Star PD45 mags for you. He'll have to mail them before he returns home, we're behind enemy lines in NYS.; April 3, 2015 at 3:55 PM
prambo said...: Oops, an email. Well that put me on another list - LOL!!

Who said that? - "A man is judged by the number of governemnt lists he is on." Sam Adams I think.; April 3, 2015 at 3:58 PM

Not for this mother's son. The ATF has known of my love for the M-3 for almost twenty years and has previously tried to set me up with one. Momma raised ugly kids, not dumb ones. No, these are for a semi-auto project carbine that is being built on a PPS-43 kit, only rebarreled in .45ACP with a MAC10 mag well and other ergonomic changes.; April 4, 2015 at 3:44 AM
rexxhead said...: Yeah, I was (mostly) kidding. I always wanted my own M3 since I owned a Mattel 'Burp gun' which was a spring-driven full-auto cap gun. The original prototype M3, FYI, was built in a basement workshop in Brooklyn NY whence I hail.

Sometime back, however, somebody (it might have been you) remarked on the efficacy of aimed semi-auto rifle fire and I stopped lusting over full auto anything (save for the bragging rights accruing from ownership).

I, too, would be vewwy vewwy careful about anyone offering me exactly what I first suggested ;-); April 4, 2015 at 10:18 AM
Allen said...: I had a guy offer to sell me a browning hi-power he had brought back from iraq. from his description it was slotted for a shoulder stock and I was interested. nothing illegal about a BHP, how he got it back is not my concern.

then he started talking grenades..and I told him to go fishing with them and talk to me when they were gone.

funny thing is, the next day he got "moved to another division" and I never saw him again. funny how that works...; April 5, 2015 at 11:48 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
