There is an excellent new blog that I can recommend called the Preparedness Advice blog. It is chockfull of useful information. Unlike so many other blogs that are long on diatribes and short on practical skills, the Preparedness Advice blog is full of clear, concise, level-headed advice. This one has been added to my blog roll.

If you’ve been waiting to buy a Finnish M39 variant of the Mosin-Nagant rifle, I just heard that Pat Burns is running special 10% off sale. The sale even includes a few Finns that were built on pre-1899 antique receivers. For those, there is no FFL required to order, but state laws might apply. (See my Pre-1899 FAQ for details on the legalities.)
