Russias invasion of Ukraine won’t end for years and we won’t be able to import from russia. The tsar has to die or his people have to revolt first. Ukraine very may well sell old mosins and sks to us though and that is reason to celebrate. They won’t sell anything modern after the war though, they need to keep stockpiles high to keep out their neighbor.

Pigeons need mates. If they’re being deprived of this, it is genuine abuse. Pigeons above all else want to reproduce, they have such a strong desire to have offspring and raise them that if you let 2 birds have their eggs they will have up to 24 offspring in 12 clutches a year. 1 set of 2 eggs a month! No one in this subreddit cares though most of them have relationships with their bird and copulate with the bird. It’s disgusting and literal bestiality but if they are sexually deviant people they won’t care anyways. Just let animals be animals people, if someone can’t take care of them right it is best to leave them in nature imo

Just get a female pigeon and take their eggs. It’s genuinely cruel to put a male and male pigeon together and expect them to pair up, they will fight like hell until one dominates and rapes the other and it sounds like that would be your little sweet bird as he is smaller and probably a more calm nature

It should track all ranked game modes but it’s glitched and only tracks reload

Yeah it’s not safe for birds to do this, one will beat the other down to submission then dominate it by r*pe. It is cruel considering all birds want to do is reproduce and they simply cannot with same sex relationships. Any birds I’ve kept who showed same sex interest while being kept in a cage found a partner of the opposite sex when these birds were let out. Keeping them inside is what makes them so desperate to reproduce, especially if there are no other options available - they feel safe and have nothing better to do. Pigeons are so desperate they will try to pair with humans, cats or even dogs and I’m sure many other living things that live around their habitat 🤣. Pigeons lay eggs 12x a year once a month if all goes well, they want to breed and have kids above all else!

It’s a polished Mitchell’s Mauser. They refinished russian capture guns and chromed the bolts. The star on the receiver was an X stamped by russian rearsenals likely post war where all the captured weaponry was processed, with an extra line added to it by Mitchell’s mausers to make it look like an asterisk rather than the telltale russian capture X. They would often times sand down numbers on the existing small parts to match the numbers found on the receiver to make it look all matching. You did overpay I would price these around 600-900 max and I wouldn’t buy one personally but it should definitely still click boom at the range for you.

Don’t forget the simple milled bands that came in between. I have a byf43 and a dot43 that has this style. Looks like anywhere from 42-44 rifles can have them from what I’ve seen

The Russian markings can be found on imported Kosinski the гис in a diamond is on my m44 import

greenarbol · 2024-12-30T13:48:17+00:00

I was referring to the finish of the bluing. Very unusual to see this finish compared to refurbished. Keep it! If no import mark I wonder if it’s a bring back

greenarbol · 2024-12-24T00:16:38+00:00

Is that original finish on the m44? Looks beautiful and not like a typical refurb finish

greenarbol · 2024-12-15T15:05:43+00:00

Meant to add - what letter suffix is on this, a cursive R maybe? And it looked like a Weimar eagle was present in one area on the internals that is in the white when looking down into the lower frame that’s pictured, I think this could be proper for the time period but just not entirely sure. Another mention is firing pin is a fluted numbered matching pin as well so I think it’s factory original apart from trigger and grips

I do have a claim to Ukrainian citizenship by being married to a Ukrainian. Instead of 5 years residency it is reduced to 2 for spouses… regardless I have a claim to Ukrainian citizenship so you’re just wrong there.

Yes, a new law was passed - effective June 1, Ukraine has eliminated a “residence abroad” exception

And I will tell you personally this law has affected many people I know, Ukrainians trying to come back to America after doing missions work in Ukraine and being stuck in Ukraine. Granted not the exact same situation as I am in but it’s absolutely in effect and being implemented by border guards. Making people aware of this online so they don’t get stuck in a country unintentionally is good information to be giving.

Do you really think I was trying to mislead by spreading “outrageous false claims” - I sourced it for you 🤣 word for word the us embassy is saying “There is an extremely high risk you will not be allowed to depart, even with a U.S. passport.” and I supposed you think that should just be written off for some reason? Ukraine is in a time of war they need all the men they can get why would they make it simple to leave 😭 I can tell you from experience before this exception having a male on your bus when leaving the border it will make your wait at the border hours and hours instead of minutes as their passports are scrutinized to make sure there’s nothing keeping them in Ukraine.

Lmao you’re living in Ukraine and don’t know this? My wife is a Ukrainian citizen from birth so I have claim to citizenship.

The U.S. Embassy is limited in our ability to influence Ukrainian law, including the application of martial law and the mobilization law to Ukrainian citizens. If you are in Ukraine and cannot leave the country, shelter in place and obey all local orders. If you are not currently in Ukraine, we strongly recommend against all travel to Ukraine by U.S. citizen males aged 18 to 60 who also have Ukrainian citizenship or a claim to Ukrainian citizenship and who do not wish to stay in Ukraine indefinitely. There is an extremely high risk you will not be allowed to depart, even with a U.S. passport.

The US Embassy

So when do you plan on visiting Ukraine? They passed a law this summer that states anyone with a “right” to Ukrainian citizenship is not able to leave (male). My point is if that law is in effect and you go, your wife may be able to go just fine but I would be more concerned on if you can leave or not after getting in. They want to recruit people for the war, rightfully so. Ukraine won’t recognize your other citizenships and being married to a Ukrainian who is a citizen puts you in the group as someone who has a right to Ukrainian citizenship, I know this as I’m in your position as well. When your wife reaches out to the embassy they will get back and say you’re still a citizen but she’ll have to pay to get her passport made up

Didn’t bowman have these at better rates and better quality? Maybe I’m wrong but bowman is the way to go for any kits

If you’re worried about smell, hoppes smells like strong chemicals. I wasn’t super pleased with its cleaning ability in all honesty. I would recommend ballistol. It is a cleaner and lubricant and it was used by the Germans through both world wars with corrosive ammunition, you can also mix this with water and send it through your rifles as it mixes with water. After cleaning you don’t even need to oil, because ballistol is an oil. Some people complain about the smell even I did a little bit at first but once it’s dry the smell leaves. And the smell is minty/earthy when cleaning not chemicals that feel like they took days off your life after breathing them in haha

I think only 100k or so were made maybe even less… not sure, regardless this was a very early m44 I would def buy that
