Argghhh! My eyes! My eyes!

This is one way around the "Ugly Black Rifle" predjudice of anti-gunners.

The AK-47 version... (gotta love that stock sock...)

Pretty in Pink...

More frighteningly... the California-legal M4 version...

Prettier in Pink

To restore your manliness... click here and read about Crazy Einar's choice of the 10 manliest firearms, subimitted by JTG.

I should mention that today's choice for ice breaking (the pond will now support the weight of the horses) was driven by ammunition constraints - I used the Castle's historically and regionally appropriate M1884 Ramrod Bayonet Springfield Trapdoor Rifle.

I am ashamed to admit that I want the Hello Kitty AK-47. Just because.

Good enough reason for me.

Did they have people like you in mind when they designed that bayonet, John? I used an '84 at Bisley back in the 70's - it beat a 7.62 FN at 600 yards. BTW, I like Crazy Einar's choices, but I've never heard of a short MODEL smelly.

Rikkochet wins the "what's wrong with this post" prize regarding Einar's bit. To be truly pedantic, it would be the Rifle #1, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield, but who around here would be like that? As for the ramrod bayonet, they sucked. And the M1903 version wasn't any better. They are too thin and nowhere near rigid enough to properly stick anything, bending too easily, and aren't useful for anything else - except maybe as pointers, when removed. I suppose you could use 'em to roast marshmallows... And we ignore your snark, sir. ;^ )

Heh. Sometimes I wonder if John hovers, waiting to pounce on my typos, as he darts in to snark me even while I'm in edit mode fixing my fat-finger'd faux pas...

"fat-finger'd faux pas" ?? "fat-finger'd faux Gras" might fit better, tho' for priming only. Cheers

Got any AK's or M-4's in a SpongeBob motif? I love SpongeBob. Heck, I'd fire a "John Kerry the War Hero" or a "Hillary in '08" model as long as it has full-auto!!! Well, maybe not really...... but get me that SpongeBob model and IT'S ON!!!

Einar seems to be Mike Williamson, actually, and I think that's his own daughter Megan holding the AR-15 with can and pink furniture, which he made for her. Note her excellence in observing Rule #3. Barmy, you should check out his site, wherein he discusses getting gurlz in shape for the military without breaking them. (He trained his wife into shape, at 30-something) I did find yer previous blog and read most of it. Couldn't stop. I am hoping to hire on in a chipper squad as throttleman when Mike achieves world domination. I have some professional experience with that method of execution, though only with vegetables, so far.
