Aw hell, I’ll go ahead and get it over with…  What the fuck?!?!  Frerbruraryr already?  Where is the time going?  Ok, with that out of the way… um, I got nothin’.  Larry bought a “Gun Test” magazine which had an article about a kit to convert a Saiga 12 shotgun, or any of the rifles for that matter, to a Bullpup configuration.  I found it on line this morning… the kit that is; he made a copy of the article for me to read.  It is only $275.00 for the kit and I want one really bad.  Of course my first thought was to then buy Larry’s unconverted Saiga 12 to put it in but now I'm thinking of using it for my 7.62x39 Saiga.  Why not use my Saiga 12?  It already has the trigger group moved forward to the standard AK-47 position and the Kushnapup kit is for an unconverted weapon, like my 7.62x39 Saiga.  Of course with all the parts I've just bought for Lil' Wiggly, I would be dead-ass broke for the next two weeks were I to buy one.  Actually, after paying bills and such, I'm a little short of the amount needed to buy one.  What I'd have to do, and I probably will suggest it to him even though it is fiscally irresponsible of me, is order two and have Larry cover shipping, taxes, and what I can't afford on mine while paying for his.  We’d call that a “Service Charge” for using my credit card and ability to go online.  I envy him not having ever gotten on line.  He is the Luddite I wish I'd remained.  But I digress.  I don’t think he’ll gopher it, and to be honest I would be better off if he doesn't.  “So don’t even bring it up,” I hear some wag saying.  Well… shut up.  Hmm, I just had a thought.  I wonder if he would trade his unconverted Saiga 12, and a Kushnapup kit, for my converted Saiga 12.  Now that might work.  If I could get into one without any out of pocket expense, I could justify doing it.  Ok, since I have to go fly a bombing mission, and have a proposition for Mr. Larry, I think I'm going to shut down the rant for a little bit.  I may be back later.  Hey!  I haven’t said that yet this year either!  So, there you go.  Well, Larry didn’t jump at it, but now I'm thinking I'll make the offer to Gregg.  He has an unconverted Saiga 12 as well.  I really like that Kushnapup stock.  I've had the hots for a Bullpup weapon… hell, ever since I saw my cousin’s Steyr AUG back in the eighties.  Part of me wants Gregg to gopher it and another part doesn’t… but I'm not really sure why.  I guess all I can do is make the offer and see what he says.  Ok, it is rapidly approaching lunchtime.  I think I'm going to call this rant complete.  I'll talk to y'all again on Monday.
