    First up is a FN-FAL that I made up from a British L1A1 parts kit, I replaced the receiver cover with a bolt on scope mount and affixed a Russian scope from kalinka optics (excellent value for money) its basically the same glass as on a Dragunov

    Next up is a barreled receiver I got, its an Egyptian Hakim in 8mm mauser.
    The barrel was toast from the corrosive ammo, so I got my hands on a new one and installed it.
    Then 8 months of finding a stock/handgaurd and various other pieces

    next up is the exact make and model scope and mount that Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly used on Kennedy.
    I've got a Carcano that I'll be drilling and tapping over the weekend to make up an exact replica

    Finally, the wife told me to get a truck, this is what i got :

    A US Army M35A2 6x6 ... multifuel, so it'll run on diesel or petrol
    11mpg, and it only cost $2000 US
