Breda (Shotgun) in Mozambique

One of my long time friends, a fellow firearms afficionado, recently took a job overseas in Pemba, Mozambique.  Knowing how folks are curious about arms in other countries, I wanted to share some pictures of the shotgun that a local security guard carries.  Most security guards there only carry nightsticks; this guard, being quite proud of his gun, [...]

Fantastic: Steam Powered RC Reverse Trike

Get today’s steam fix by watching this (lot’s of nice detail shots): I think maybe it needs a snow plow on the front like that land locomotive Ernie Hudson drove in Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (in 3D!).  Nah, it’s perfect the way it is.

New MRE’s: Now with Caffeinated Beef Jerky!

.45-70 Silk Purse…

…from a Sow’s Ear. Mosin-Nagants converted to .45-70 An interesting project and apparently well done too.  However, unless you are the do-it-yourself type that already owns a lathe and enjoys a challenge, I would recommend the Marlin Guide Gun before enduring the expense of converting a $90 rifle.

QOTD: Baden Powell

Stumbling around the intarwebz, I found this gem: Long before he invented Boy Scouts, Baden-Powell referred to his camping gear as his “toys,” and he then went on to write, “May it not be that our toys are the various media adapted to individual tastes through which men may know their God?” Found here I [...]
