didn't the KM3’s come out like…3 years ago?
Could be; I may have my model numbers switched - in any event they're the BFG MT tire available in 2008.

Is that a Belgium made Fabrique Nationale FN? I bought one back in the eighties new before the foreign import ban in 1989. Heard about the replacement dust cover to mount a scope. Back then spare magazines were dirt cheap, $50 for 10. I cut one down to only hold five rounds to make it legal to hunt with. Mine was a match grade and very accurate even with open sights. Liked mine so much also bought a FNC.
Drove it up to check my pig trap this morning; it even requires 4WD to get there, so some light wheeling too.

I wish mine was, but alas, only a metric-pattern Imbel-made (under license) rifle from Argentinian military surplus. I would love to have a Belgian-made inch pattern, but I'm not going to spend that kind of money for one.
I remember when you could get magazines for cheap at gun shows. I passed on many because why bother, they were so common! Wish I had bought more now.
Speaking of the import ban, I bought a brand-new HK 91 in 1980, was only 5 or 6 hundred dollars. Sold it for 4x that after the ban, because I needed a new engine for our family car at the time, but I really regret selling that rifle now.
Went from the 235/85R16 Michelins XPS to the 255/85R15 Yokos MTs. Interestingly, the on-road ride is noticeably smoother so far!

Saw a few while doing my MS thesis in Angeles Forest. Spent a summer on a gold lease when I graduated HS, saw a lot of tracks!My daughter was supposed to do a Girl Scout camp this summer up north of Magic Mountain off the 5 but it was canceled due to the ongoing presence of mountain lions in the camp area.
Where did you get the overflow bottle?Installed new cooling system in the '69 today. New radiator, water pump, thermostat and housing, hoses, 6 blade fan, overflow res. Fill and flush tomorrow.
Things are changing here locally, mainly because the entire forest around town has been burned by seven major forest fires dating back to 1977. Back when I was growing up, all you ever saw were an occasional deer on the highway. Now we see deer in the yard almost every day, a coyote a couple of times a week, bobcats in the back yard, bears in the backyard and at the elementary school, and a mountain lion now and then (in broad daylight).
No wild boars, though. But we have seen javelina twice in the median and on the shoulder of I-40 between Albuquerque and Kingman. We didn't realize they were that far north.

In the early eighties it was so many guns so little money. Remember in the mid eighties up to the ban on full autos in May of 86 you could buy a new Colt AR15, have it converted to full auto and pay the $200 stamp for under $1K. Wonder what one of those would sell for now? After the 86 full auto ban and 89 ban on import semi autos I dropped my membership in the NRA and stopped believing either party is interested in protecting our gun rights. Still waiting for those who want to blame only the Dems to bring up anything like what we lost in the eighties. The real thing that made me drop the hobby was the cost of ammo. Eighties if you bought it by the case it was ten cents a round. Doesn't seem to matter which party is in office ammo prices are ridiculous.
I'm right there with you on these issues, and both parties being worthless.
I still have in my hoard, South African mil surp 7.62 NATO that I bought by the case years ago; I remember it seemed expensive at the time (19 cents/round) but now seems ridiculously cheap. I found some Czech-made FMJ at a local retailer the other day for $1/round.
