I guess you7 could get a bunch of Atwood stuff, depending on your tastes. My micro bug-out blade and prybaby ran little less than that.

chaos, I remember the good Ole' days. Chinese MAK -90's were $139... Two 1200rd cases of Norinco brand ammo for $138($69 a piece). 69 and 1/2.... 30 rd mags for said gun for $139
Cant get anything for $139 these days chaos, wow you been around the block! Most shooters i know reminisce about not buying enough Russian SKS's when they were only $139!

rooikat, ..The last time I was there, they had little cannons for $75.00. I plan on getting one of those anti-barbie bad boys this time around.. rooikat, what are these "little cannons"? are they like black powder -powered or something?

Yes, Tony, they are. there is alocal guy who builds repro cannons for a living. Every style, every type, every size. They all use black powder, and are all way cool.
The cheapere ones were mini tabletop type models.

They are handmade, and the cool part is he has the pics and specs of the 'real' guns at his table, so you can see how close his get. I was quite impressed.

woa.. interesting!
What is the range/penetration of one these little cannons?
hmm.. that's a neat twist on black powder.. i remember years ago you could buy black powder pistol/rifle kits over the Interweb.. build it yourself at home.

Tony - I bought a couple of SKS's - for myself and Son-in-law, and a 1440 round case of ammo, and paid $75.00 for each item some years ago! I wish that I still could!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I wish that I still could!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Tom [censored] Tom......Will you be my F-I-L....all mine gets me is cheesy truck tool sets. I have about 4 of them. I wish the man knew what a SKS was, he wanted to show me his "knives"...sort of a bonding thing I guess. It consisted of a Schrade 152, and a SAK in the shape of a fish....he was rather proud of them. He also tries to tell me how German steel is the best and I should try to collect german knives...This is based off his knowledge he attained while working in a Pawn Shop in the 70s.
EMail if you have a spare 460!!!!

Jason - Sorry, but you're 11 years too late! However, if we ever get together I would be proud to "adopt" you and buy you a beer or two, or six, or twelve........ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
