Leaving NM, Here's Some Goodbye Photos

barjack · August 10, 2006, 05:45

Well, folks, the time has come for my move to the great green of Oregon where hopefully I can weed out some gun-lovers from the crowds of angry hipsters. I really wanted to thank all the NM Fal'ers who helped me learn and supported my love of shooting. Thanks, guys, and wish me luck on my masters degree.

For your viewing pleasure, here are a couple of propaganda images set up by myself and photographed by my girlfriend and partner-in-crime. Model goes by "Ivana Takitoff" and is featured in a sucessful Albuquerque burlesque troupe known as "Burlesque Noir". The Tula '52 SKS and "Big 5 Special" 91/30 Mosin Nagant are mine, the model has quite a thing for Soviet history and propaganda, which is just dandy with me.

Perhaps these should have gone into "girls in uniform", but I didn't want to bother and that's just too freakin' bad, ain't it?

Oh, and just so nobody complains about a lack of FAL's in this post, here's myself and Colin in Cabezon with our STG-58's.

Enjoy.

Be sure to scour back road gunshops near Sisters and Bend for Williams products - particularly QD Pro scope mounts.

Stranger · August 10, 2006, 10:56

Good luck and God speed to you.

**sportsnut** · August 10, 2006, 18:02

You picked an awesome state to move too. Where in OR. are you going?

Windustsearch · August 10, 2006, 18:44

John Culver · August 10, 2006, 23:27

Only part of Oregon is green, the rest is high desert
Klamath Falls here.

Welcome to Oregon!

My brother Karl (Dation) and I live in Portland. We should get some local FAL Files guys together and go up shooting. That way you can get acquainted with some of the backroads here in Oregon.
Oregon is a great place to explore.
Heres a website you should check out:

Erik

Have ggiilliiee teach Comrade Fishnetska a few trick shots on the old Simonovski.

Let us know how she does. We already know you can fire 8 shots in under a second.

**W.E.G.** · August 11, 2006, 15:00

I was digging it as I scrolled down - I dare say aroused...

...until I go to that pic with the guy in the wife-beater and the guy with the smoldering cig in his mough.

NNNGAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

What a buzzkill.

must be, I have never seen a booger that big

Hi Barjack,
Nice pic, but the first pic would be a lot better if she wasn't wearing the jacket. It blends too well with the SKS, and without a jacket we could see the rifle better.

Erik the Red · August 13, 2006, 16:19

I'm glad you guys liked the link to Brians website. I have never talked to him, but I am pretty sure I walked past him once when we were taking some pictures of the steam engines SP&S 700 and SP 4449. I checked his site later and he had taken the same pictures that I did.

Thanks,
Erik

Which school will you be going to? OSU/OU/Other? I just moved out here last year to the Eugene/Springfield area. Haven't found any place to shoot worthy of a 7.62 (ie 200+yds) closer than about two hours drive yet. The weather has been a good change from Arizona.

calvinike · August 18, 2006, 16:05

Blackmore,
As a frequent visitor to the Bend / Redmond / Sisters / Black Butte area. Which back road gunshops are you referring to?

John Culver · August 18, 2006, 22:51

Dan Good at Gunners in redmond is a good guy, take alot of my money lol
