For $1700, you're looking in the ballpark of Springfield Armory for a factory rifle. Springfield Armory is a good company, and make decent M1A/M14's. Maybe not as primo as a forged one put together with all USGI parts or etc., but odds are you'll never stress a Springfield to the point of...

Well, now that's unsettling. Been using some AMERC in my 1911's lately, and saving the brass if I ever start reloading. Guess I melt that junk down...

Colt 1911 made in 1913.

I carry a 1911 strong side with an 8 rounder in it, and two 10 rounders in a double mag pouch opposite of the sidearm. Helps offset the weight a lot. And bigfatdave, that idea is brilliant; I have a Mini Mag and that never even crossed my mind. Gonna try that now.

These things come with finishes? Where'd mine go?

Spray paint.

I wouldn't mind hunting to give the meat to a needy family. For myself, I have no taste for it.

The muzzle blast from the pistol is quite impressive. I'm used to shooting .45, and that little bottleneck round will really move some air. Hardly any recoil to speak of, just a slight bobble of the muzzle. Fun to shoot, that's for sure. One of the main things I don't care for much is the...

Rifle. Unless the .45 autos are not 1911s. Even then...having a good rifle is almost a must for a basic collection. You've got sidearms for carry and a shotgun for home defense, but no rifle should hordes ever become an issue. Regardless if they never do, insurance is always nice. It seems as if...

I rarely get one in the box, so if I do...yes.

Been carrying a 5" stainless 1911 since 21.

Yes I do, and have no intentions of selling it.

Thinking back on my youth, I remember years ago going to gun shows at the younger ages of 15 and 16 with my dad and the uniqueness of so many guns that I saw...my parents didn't really have a lot of firearms, perhaps because I was young and growing up. The most I knew we had was an H&R .22, my...

I'm thinking that's gotta be a joke. Make the dog roll over for funny picture...?

$700 seems a standard starting price for any quality AR, and if it's the caliber you desire (I don't see many ones like this for sale), then it's a deal. If you want it, go for it. edit: Plus 5 free magazines? Dang right it's a deal.
