Hey, That Wasn't In The Manifest!

A list of the weapons found by Israeli naval commando forces aboard the civilian freighter Francop from Iran en route to Hezbollah terrorist forces in Syria:

- 566,220 7.62 caliber rifle bullets

- 20,100 F1 fragment grenades

- 5,680 60mm mortar shells

- 2,316 81mm mortar shells

- 774 120mm mortar shells

- 690 122mm rockets

- 106 artillery shells

- 2,125 107mm rockets

- 685 rockets fuses

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Yes, these are the same Iranians who are developing nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

    GG - Clearly the Iranian Government is doing this because there are still those of you who don't trust them. If we follow our President's lead as all of us ought to do and embrace the peace loving Islamo-facists and the Latin American "committed" (I shun the term "hard core", it's so accusatory and hateful) socialists of the world, then perhaps these would-be friends will not feel so threatened and abandon such understandable actions. There's nothing like a handshake, a bow and, yes, a hug, from a full-fledged Nobel Peace Prize winner. Plus, have you no sympathy for the pressure the Iranian government has been under from those unruly subjects? Now is the time for caring and understanding, not spewing your western brand of hate.

    Man. I could have used some of those AK rounds. Mebbe the Israelis will do one of those seized asset auction thingies on E-Bay....one can hope.

    Me too! I can use some of that 7.62 x 39 for my VZ 58. I love playing Red Army v Leibstandarte with Grand-Daddy's old MP-40 in my backyard. Do you think they'll be selling some surplus?

    I wish you guys had mentioned that a month ago. I had a case of 1000 rounds that I gave, yes gave, to one of my buddies here who helps me out with a lot of stuff like fixing my tractor when I break it. I would have sold it to you guys but would definitely have given you a CW Frequent Flier discount to be sure. Interested in vintage ammo (collectible)? Got PLENTY of that stuff and would be happy to make it (ALL) yours. SHHH! Don't tell the democrats.
