Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54R is a dependable war rifle that served mother Russia longer than our .30-06 served our great nation. They made about 37 million of them and now you can buy a surplus for $100-$250 in any gun store, including online and at great retailers.
When I got one, at first I refinished the wooden stock and cherished the antique, but soon the iron sights were not enough so I put on a scope and so the story of modifications has started...
Soon after, I got a synthetic stock to improve accuracy on the range.
After hiking in rough Sierra Nevada mountains with this full length rifle, I realized that is it simply not practical in the thicket, boulder-and-sand, super steep mountains, so I decided to go one more step and cut it to usable size.
Many of people will cry wolf why should I cut an antique rifle, but after consideration I think that once modified, this rifle can have another lifetime of service, if left on original state, it has little value.
To all the sniper-wannabess, this rifle is NOT meant to be a long-range hitter, for that I would get a 7mm that shoots much flatter. This rifle is meant to be a handy, inexpensive gun to take to a really rough country and be able to shoot (hunt or defend from) any creature out there ( with a 203 grain soft lead bullet). To achieve that it has to be SHORT and light which the original M91/30 at 48.5 inch was not.
- reloaded ammo for light loads (target and small game)
- Brass Stacker rail (no drilling required)
- NCStar long-eye-relief scope (good scope until you want to adjust elevation)
SURPLUS AMMO:
The surplus silver-tip ammo can be both for as low as $0.18 (18 cents) per round, that puts it in .22LR range! However be careful, that ammo is a steel core bullet and it WILL CUT thru a 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) STEEL plate like it was butter at 50 yards, I learned that the hard way when I purchased my new steel gong target. If it goes thru steel plate, it will go thru wood walls for sure. At 1,000 yards it still has more knock-down power (445 fl-lbs) than .45 ACP pistol at 2 yards.
The chart below is specifically for my (short barrel) gun and it does NOT apply to original 91/30:

Obviously before spending thousands on tools like Maya you may wonder if there is anything there that is free and comparable...
Blender since version 2.5 (and 2.6) made HUGE improvements and should be considered a professional tool for 3D artists.
Watch these videos (published 3 years ago):
"Completed only using open source tools in a Linux environment. Blender is the only tool mainly used for production. Only other tool used was GIMP for texture creation. Post production and editing also done inside blender.The renderer is blender internal renderer."
If you are working on Mac with a mouse without MMB (Middle Mouse Button) you may wonder how to get you point of view to move beyond ROTATE (Command-LMB) and ZOOM (Command-RMB).
One of the ways is install the Settings plugin called MagicPref.app and enable MMB with 3-finger press:

It has been bothering me that Outliner window is free floating, it seems that I could never find a place for it. Since I work on the large external monitor, having it docked inside main Maya window works well for me.
Today, I was reviewing the game engines and below are few most interesting (masterpieces really) clips I found. Overall, I find Unreal Engine to be the best, but also cost prohibitive and Unity 3D to be pretty much industry standard, total cost about $4,500 (pro, iOS & Android).

Sportster XL1200s (sport edition) is not your everyday Sportster, it is still too heavy @553lbs and reving too low @5800RPM to compare with race bikes, but it has some pleasant surprises under the tank. At the time it was produced it had the fastest Harley-Davidson engine.
I had a need to copy a file "commit-msg" to git folders called "hooks" while preserving permissions. Since there were a lot of these folders this command helped a lot.
If you are getting this kind of error the the permissions on your files are modified incorrectly:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Permissions 0744 for '/home/your_name/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open. It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored. bad permissions: ignore key: /home/your_name/.ssh/id_rsa

-rw-r--r-- 1 your_name staff 887 Nov 20 2012 id_rsa

@ .ssh $
To fix this problem change permissions:
@ .ssh $ chmod 600 id_rsa
@ .ssh $ chmod 600 id_rsa.pub
@ .ssh $ ls -alt

I found that often I have to send HOME, or BACK commands to my Android device.
KEYCODE_HOME $ adb shell input keyevent 3
KEYCODE_BACK (you might have to execute it few times to get to HOME) $ adb shell input keyevent 4 KEYCODE_CALL - opens the Call log $ adb shell input keyevent 5
KEYCODE_ENDCALL - if not calling, same as pressing power button (you get choices: Power off, Airplane mode, Silent mode) $ adb shell input keyevent 6
KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP - more noise $ adb shell input keyevent 24
KEYCODE_POWER - same as pressing power button (you get choices: Power off, Airplane mode, Silent mode) $ adb shell input keyevent 26
