There is an excellent new blog that I can recommend called the Preparedness Advice [1] 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 [5]. 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 [6] for details on the legalities.)
