I have an old Maxtor HDD I wouldn't mind shooting. A hole burned into it while it was on so it will not work anyways. I am very glad I had the case open that moment, or else the whole PC might have burned down. I saw the "red light" go on and assumed there was an error with the HDD as I never saw a red light before. Turned the PSU off, and the light went off, and smoke poured out of the tiny hole.

How much does a Mini go for in Norway?

Nice one, Sim! A Mosin sniper rifle is definitely on my short list of guns to buy.

Thanks. It's not original unfortunately. That scope is make to original specs in 2008 and modified to a regular rifle.

Luke, would you know where I can buy m38 for a reasonable cost?

I gave $800 for mine, used. Including 1 10-round, 1 20-round and 2 30-round mags, and a 1-6x scope. New they are around $1600.

But right now there is a hold on processing all applications for semi-automatic rifles after the events this summer.

Ah, OK. A couple of places online have all-original ones for sale right now, and more sites are planning on offering them later on this year.

Sadly, no. The only ones I know of right now are those on Gunbroker, and those usually go for a steep price. Makes me glad I got mine when I did.

This thread reminds me that I haven't been to the range in a while. Flying has been taking up a lot of my free time.

Had some fun today shooting at 10 yards. From left to right - CZ52, TT33 (Yugo), FNH9, TT33(Romanian), .44Mag S&W.

Pulled like a champ on bottom right target. One of those holes isn't mine...as time went on, after about 200 rounds, arm got tired and groups became worse (didn't take pictures of it). About 1.5 hours at a range with pistol is about right.
