I am a horrible monster and I should pray for my own death. This strip contains not one, but two horrible puns, one of them being the title.
I apologize for nothing. My hideous ways are what they are.
So Reports are coming in that these babies are starting to ship. $200 is more than my Mosin AND its ammo cost, ye gods, but… man, my credit card is itchy just looking at that link. RIFLE IS FINE, yes, I know, but hot damn, I wanna sexy-fy a Mosin like that. I dunno. Your thoughts?
Oh, hey, Paige Halsey Warren has a new webcomic. Woot! I don’t expect the women in it to be as tit-tacular as her previous work, but you never know.
EDIT: The site’s hosting provider is having some odd connectivity issues right now. Of course, if you’re reading this, the site loaded…
EDIT THE 2: Hello, people from AR15.com! Jesus, there are a lot of you.
I, being currently high on legal pharmaceuticals, LOLed my ass off at this strip.
And I counter that chicken bones just aren’t motivated enough to speak.
Would you be motivated if someone just chewed your burnt flesh of? Nope!
Keep up the good work!
I messed around with one of those stocks when I was at the NRA show in Houston a couple months ago. Personally? It felt as chintzy as an ATI plastic stock.
I understand that it looks nice but I personally couldn’t convince myself to spend more than I dropped for a pair of M-44s a few years back to dress up a 91/30 like that, especially when the MN can be anywhere from “pretty accurate” to “Minute of Dinner Plate”
I laugheed like a loon at those rubbish puns. . and i drooled all the fuck over that stock. Seriously, that’sa thing of beauty, putting a modern mag and stock on an old reliable action. If that sorta shit was legal here i;d have already gotten one.
Where are you located?
Australia. Modifying heratige primary produciton rifle to a box mag.. ahahahahahahha more time for that than for actualy killing someone with it afterwards
Half an hour, that’s pretty impressive for someone as amped up about the person he’s having sex with as Mick is. Although, it is the second go round…
So…I have one of those promag stocks on order. ordered late may, so it hasn’t arrived yet. I live up in OKC, but maybe once I get it I can make it down to texas sometime.
update: as of yesterday, apparently my stock shipped. so, should arrive soon 😀
Achewood this comic ain’t
Don’t challenge me to try.
I challenge you to try.
Seconded.
Eh, I don’t know if it’s worth getting a 200 dollar tacticool stock for a 100 dollar commie rifle… But goddammit those detachable mags look great. I doubt they’ll work though the whole system though.
I got my Archangel last night! I pre-ordered on 4/24. It’s pretty sweet…added a Timney trigger and a compensator… it’s bad-ass!
Great strip today, and you’ve done some of your best art ever…a few shots of Alex were just INCREDIBLE.
obviously not referring to Alex TODAY…recently. LOL
I’ve got an original condition 91/30 Sniper from 1943 that’s slowly becoming a safe queen because I’m petrified of dinging the stock. Surplus ammo lands consistently in the X and 9 ring. I’m waiting until more get on the market and figure out how tough it might be to inlet (or even if it’s possible to inlet) for the PU Side scope mount. If it’s not that difficult then I definitely plan to pick it up.
The thing to remember is unless you’re planning to eventually sell it, there’s not much of a reason to keep its condition pristine. Take it out and use it!
The Archangel does not require you to do ANYTHING permanent to the Mosin. You can put it all back original anytime you want. Easy as pie.
Yep that’s why I like it. Drop in and can still move it back to original configuration. Problem with the Mosins with the PU Scope mount however is that it’s a side mount, into the receiver, not a top mount. In order to fit the Mosin into the Archangel stock I would have to modify the Archangel stock, cut some bits off the left side of the stock most likely. I haven’t been able to get up close and personal with one yet and see just how difficult or not that might be.
Oh trust me, I use it. I’ve just found myself more and more careful while busting through the underbrush during deer season then I used to be. I refuse to own a pretty gun that I can’t shoot or use lol.
I’ve got, don’t any of you hate on me, a ’47 M44 that was never fired beyond the barrel proof that I drilled and tapped for a MOLOT scope base. Have it holding a POSP 4x fixed power off of my PSL. Turned down the bolt handle, Finn trigger with polished doodads and whatsits in the FCS. I hit 1 MOA all day with handloads out to 200m, which is the farthest distance I’ll hunt at around my area. One of those Archangels might be a blessing(heh) that will get me to sub-1 MOA with this beast.
sorry, been living too close to San Francisco for too long: why are bottles in the trash instead of recycle? other than that, keep up the good work.
Obviously, you haven’t been living in San Francisco enough! 🙂 They’re on the floor, not in the can. Recycling bins come after sobriety. Priorities man! 🙂
If I’m gonna monkey around with the Mosin, I’d figure out who and how and where to get a proper (original Soviet MILSPEC) scope, scope mount, scope base, and bent bolt handle for it, and one of those laminated wood stocks to glass bed the whole thing in. Finding the whole kit, let alone the knowhow to install it, is daunting at the moment. barring that I’m gonna leave her stock, since I’m pretty sure I can get “minute of dinner plate” on any game animal worth shooting with a Mosin. Of course, for the price of doing all that I can get and glass bed a mcmillan stock on my M1A and find some “sporter” mags for it.
It’s my understanding that the side mount scopes like on the sniper Mosins are incompatable with the promag stock. Mind you, I would like to learn that I am wrong about this.
From what I’ve read you just have to cut away part of the stock. It’s really not much since the base and mount are separate pieces. Maybe contact Promag and get a ruling?
Which is why I said MILSPEC laminated wood stock, the old birch and walnut (or maple and walnut, or whatever they glued together to make it) stocks the Russkies made. Also, I’ve yet to hear of a side mount scope mount on a M91-30 that didn’t require you to inlet the stock for it, be it the MILSPEC stock or some aftermarket thing. The benefit of the side-mount is that you can put it on and take it off without messing with the iron sights for the rifle. Scopes are a pretty accessory in a rifle like this. Irons are mandatory. I couldn’t tell you if the promag stock is even built in a manner that you CAN inlet the thing… if it’s been done properly, it shouldn’t be an issue, but I’ve seen hollow injection molded plastic stocks with no glass on rifles before.
Which reminds me, if you’re ever in the market for an M1A from Springfield Armory, Inc, get the wood stock. The synthetic one is crap.
