Assimilation vs. not… (I apologize if this is redundant, I posted a lot today.)
My grandparents legally immigrated from Europe to America
between, WW-I and II. They were educated, had job skills, and ethics. Wanted to be American Citizens, learned the language and history, passed the nationalization tests, and became Naturalized Citizens.
My parents, and more than a few of their siblings joined our military and served in uniform during WWII in both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operation.
Our whole extended family for generations has been Assimilated Americans our grandparents like many before us who voted with their feet to be Americans in America did it right.
These new “arrival” invaders are highly conflicted, still loyal and patriotic for their former homelands, but not ours. Display their previous national flags, but burn ours, not the proper disposal way according to the U.S. Flag Code like is done by the American Legion.
Many don’t bring anything positive with them to America, being criminals beyond just their illegal entry into our county, drive drunk killing our citizens and /or have severe mental illnesses compounding their lack of motivation to become truly contributing assimilated citizens.
Thanks!

Thanks, Ron!
Seems I didn’t post this, though I meant to. Anywho, nothing fancy or pretty, but recently got a .300 Blackout. SOTA Arms with a YHM noise-reduction apparatus. The other in the image is my .223 Wylde.
Looks right for right about now! Nice!
Thank you, Sir
Cool! ![]()
Any “German” stamps (right side of frame and barrel at the ejection port) or Prag marking on the top of the slide?

Edit: Have you been actively looking for this model, or did you stumble across it? Either way, quite a historical find.
1950 Tula SKS. It is an arsenal refurb, but it has the original springed firing pin bolt with the springed firing pin.
AND….you aren’t sleeping in the garage! ![]()
Congrats Enzo!!
I’m curious, where do you keep your collection? Are they stored in safes or displayed? If displayed, would you be willing to show some photos? If not, I get it!
Nice & a pre-congrats on a new Castle de la familia Enzo!!
