Buying Milsurps is very dangerous

[Landie_UK]

My eagerly awaited smle arrived today, as I was unwrapping it I didn't notice in my excitement that the single edge razor blade I was using had spun around. Needless to say I cut the tip of my finger to the bone.

So now I have a very sore trigger finger and I am supposed to be trap shooting this evening.

Be aware buying Milsurps is a dangerous hobby.

That is an unfortunate - if humorous - story. Heal up and shoot that milsurp!

The hell with milsurps being dangerous!

Can you imagine the damage you could have inflicted upon yourself,

if you would have been opening a restricted, or, heavens forbid, a prohib!

I read in horror, expecting you to say you scratched your new milsurp with a razor, but was relieved to see that you had only cut yourself.

The pain feels good though, just like Garand Thumb and MP40 Finger!

Wash it good. Get a Tetanus shot, and don't get Staph or MRSA Infection.

It could have been worse ---you could have had the package on your lap when you were opening it. Then we would have had another round of "Bobbit" stories and comments.

Besides, only Newbies and Amateurs use razor blades to open rifle packages. REAL men use the wife's kitchen knives!

Smear some cosmo on it, it'll never get infected.

Damn, the Kiaser's evil spirit strikes again!

Now we are going to have to register and call in transfers on razor blades .

Razor was nowhere near rifle just the box it was sent in.

First time I ever bought Milsurp other than at a gun show, not normally wrapped from a gun show. Will know better next time.

A single edge razor blade is a bit of an odd implement for opening a box, isn't it?

it was the only sharp implement close at hand, and as it turned out much to close to my finger.
buying from a gun show is safer

Must have been a Rasierklinge, they get jumpy around Enfields

Your rifle is possessed. I would dispose of it properly by sending it to me........

 

[CharliePC]

Milsurps are just fine. It's razor blades that are dangerous.

Nice try but I don't think so
