The pic of the unspent ammunition on the ground was yet again, another old ass clip-loaded rifle??

Looks like ammo for an old Chinese SKS to me
Back in the 90's you could buy those brand new, still wrapped in Chinese waxed paper for $80

Cosmoline is for hiding bad machine parts prior to shipping to customer.

I remember around 20 years ago buying 3 AK47's and a 1000 rnd Tuna Can of 7.62x39 for about $1,500.  Man, those were the days

I got my Mosin Nagant for... ~$180. Got a crate of Cold War Era Ammo for it... ~1,000 rounds IIRC for ~$375. Like 4 huge sardine cans. I have 1 left. I don't shoot it as much as I used to. Kicks like a mule. Harder that my .338 Lapua and my .30-06

It had a truckload of cosmoline on it too. I fully disassembled it, took it into work and put it in the hot tank. Cleaned up pretty nice. 

Thinking of putting some modern furniture and a muzzle brake on it.

The FBI said the shooting is being investigated "as an act of targeted violence."

I wonder how many geniuses it took to come up with that one?

Yes I agree
I saw a photo on X of the shooter and his rifle.
Couldn't see much but it looked like a vintage WW2 bolt action rifle of some sort.

[Jeff]

It looks like one of those full-semi-automatic AR14's the left was talking about a while back.
