Back in the 1980s when SKS rifles were washing ashore by the millions I saw these advertised as "Paratrooper Models" and bought one. I only saw them offered that one time and I don't recall seeing one of these rifles since I bought this one. It was unfired and looked new. It has a very short barrel (like around 16 inches) and no bayonet provision. It's neat looking but it doesn't shoot as good as the standard length one I had back then.

Have I just been missing them or are they somewhat uncommon?

    My son gave me a gift card for sports authority, so I picked up one of these:

    The Wife does not like perked coffee, I figure this should be a good fix.

    I like mine, but it tends to burn coffee if left on too long.

    The Tunas right,
    Its not as fast as my Mr Coffee, but it works. and tastes better than my perked or instant that I usualy have when camping.
    the only drawback I see is it does not have a warmer, so you would need to use a thermos to keep the java hot.
