JMHO, didn't realize some of you are the sensitive type. Just what I observed through ten years in the Infantry. One guy does something to their equipment or weapon if its considered "cool" half the company's doing it next week. Sorry if I abused anyone.

Californistan starts gun registration on Jan 1st. That's the problem their having in Colorado, rich folk from New York and California like to vacation there.

I don't feel the need to carry my belongings on the fore stock of my rifle. Never understood the need to make a light handy carbine into a front heavy 13 pound turd. But its "what's cool in school" and not about what's really needed. More is less and less is more.

The Ruger Mini's they fit me perfectly. Trigger guard could be bigger for gloves though.

The price is already ridiculous. I'm holding about 750 rnds. If I use it just for hunting it should take me to the grave. I refuse to buy at the current prices, they can keep it. Get a good 22 cal air rifle. I own a RWS M48, kills small game right up to Coon and Fox. Pellets...

I meant it more as straying from its original direction. What's the term for that,... straying?

I can see your point there, under stress I would also be more likely to hit with a shoulder fired weapon. I guess that's why I prefer the shotgun over the pistol. Buckshot seemed to do some yawing after a couple walls also.

My thoughts are if I could send the bullet in a safe direction, ( although I doubt there's going to be time for that ) like through a empty kitchen or out toward the garage, it would be somewhat better than going though two walls and then maybe down the hall or through occupied bedrooms. I...

I would like to continue the 5.56 verses pistol caliber wall penetration debate. From the links ugaarguy sent me, ( thanks much ) of tests conducted between 5.56 and 9mm, this is what I noticed. Pistol ammo went through all three courses of sheet rock wall. It pretty much stayed its course...

Pablo, I'll take my M1A if I need something in 308. That or my 700 in 308. I needed a couple more rifles for 7.62x39. I just didn't need a rifle in 223. Besides, total investment for two Russian's $480. That's only $240 apiece and both in really good shape with all matching numbers...

Carbine85, no the mags aren't Ruger, but there not USA mags. Promag maybe, there very well made, have a good finish and function excellently. Swampwolf, I still have two mini 30's in the locker. I picked this mini up for $400 last year. Traded a 80 power spotting scope for the mags a...

Thanks for the input guys. I could of traded for a P-38 in 9mm and a Marlin 336 in 30-30, or one SKS and one of the former. Two matching rifles to tuck away for a rainy day seemed like a good idea.

Just traded a 189 mini 14 and eight 30 rnd mags for two nice Russian SKS's. I know used mini's are going for a bit more than they used to, but what about the Russian SKS ? What's a fare price for one in very good condition? I'm set up ammo wise for 7.62x39. Bought thousands of rounds...

A Ruger Mk II in 9mm, and a left hand No. 4 Enfield in .308.

I've tested my 700 to see if I could lose a round while feeding the chamber, sideways, upside down, pointed up, pointed down, fast and extremely slow. Never dropped a round and no failure to feed. Only use it for whitetails around home though, so it gets cleaned alot.
