Spare G# parts, Stag stuff, where to next?

Since I’ve forsaken the FAL for the PTR-91 (hereafter referred to as ‘the 91’ or ‘HKlone’) I need to go shopping for spare parts. The good news is that since the wehrmacht bundswehr dropped the G3 to go with the G36 theres plenty of G3 parts being dumped on the market (as well as a bazillion magazines…god love ’em). So, now I have to go shopping for spare parts which is a bit wierd since historically the HK guns usually dont break anything. However, Capt. Insano did have a major moment of doubt and questioning of faith when a trigger part on his USP40 broke. I think he’s still rattled by it, which might explain his devotion to his CZ-75 collection. Anyway….

So, parts to buy? Well the usual – anything that utilizes a spring, firing pin, extractor, various pins, etc. looks like a good spare parts kit can be put together for less than fifty bucks.

Five Stag lowers arrived Friday and have been sent out to various people. Theres two more orders of ten receivers on the way. (The smaller orders ship faster.) Its going to be FIFO, for the most part, so if you ordered Friday youre probably at the back of the line.

So…whats your average preparedness freak to do when he’s a) pretty much done on his food stockpiling and b) pretty much done on his firearms acquisitions? Well, the smart answer is: recover financially and after a pause add more to your stocks. But, in reality, theres always something that needs stocking up. I need to lay in some mags and ammo but otherwise Im pretty well set gunwise. Need to move on to energy and, specifically, ‘short-term disruption solutions’ (i.e. localized blackouts). Additionally, and Ive been dragging my heels on this for way too long, I need to get some sort of bare-bones self-sustaining system in place for running radios and LED lighting. Fortunately both of those dont draw alot of power and dont require inverting to AC.

Still need to put together the money for a nice vehicle though. Every time I see a nicely restored FJ roaming around town I think to myself “damn, I need one of those”.

EDIT: okay, almost done. Still need the .50.

And, as if I dont have enough things in the world to spend money on, the girlfriend and I still need a nice chunk of real estate for that lovely, heavily-fortified ‘weekend cabin’ in the woods. That lovely, idylic place where we can get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life (well, that and the rampaging hordes of radioactive zombies). That, my friends, aint gonna be cheap. However, dont need to do it all at once. Just the land itself would be good since it almsot always goes up in price as time goes by. Can drop a bunker on it later.

  1. BUNKER

    do as others done, purchase land, put in an oversise basement, then roof it over. anybody asks, just tell them your saving up for the house part, ho ho ho. Wildflower 07

  2. I wouldn’t suspect Montana gets a lot of sunlight, but you should look into getting a solar battery charger. I had one for some AA/AAA/C/D batteries, and it worked pretty well. Sure beats not having batteries.

    For larger applications, take a look at home solar kits. There are several panels that can deliver ~100-200 watts of power for a few hundred bucks. Get some storage batteries (such as golf cart batteries) and you should be set to run them all night long.

    Either that, or get some sort of treadmill hooked up to a small generator. In a real emergency, you and the girlfriend would be going so stir-crazy you could burn off steam while recharging batteries.

    If you find a good place for bunker-building in Arizona (which is admittedly far away from where you are), let me know. I’ve been podnering the same thing.

  3. Do you not have a generator yet?

    Man, these quiet ones are awesome and can be kept on the down low. I have the EU1000 and the EU3000is. They have inverters so you dont blow anything up, they are super great on fuel, and very light. The 3000 is only like $2k and can be back fed through transfer switch to your electric panel. I won’t run an an AC handler or dryer, but will totally be sufficient for lights and such and small heating or AC unit.

    The little one is portable like a suitcase.

    They work in a pinch VERY well and go right in the car if you need to get out.

    Work your fitness and take classes and seminars on medicine, etc.

  5. Re: BUNKER
