So, I ended up getting a CMMG! It was actually interesting, I was totally planning on getting a 16" mid-length but after holding all the rifles they had I fell in love with the 14.5" mid-length. I know 14.5" with the permanent flash hider is not favored on THR but I just liked the feel of it...

Thank you for your replies. Yes, this is my thought exactly. If this was an issue of going into debt or not eating or something then it wouldn't be a real choice; but I can afford the rifle. I just won't be able to afford anything else for some time. Anyway, sorry for using the forum...

I guess my real issue is that I don't really need an AR-15, I just want one, and $1,000 is a lot for something I don't need (at the moment at least). I don't have a SHTF rifle so I could justify it that way...

I've been wanting an AR for some time now. However, I am poor and it would cost me well over a years savings to buy one at the moment (and mess up my plans for getting some surplus rifles). However, I have to weigh in the possibility of a new AWB, which is making me seriously consider going...

It took me 21 days to get my license, counting from the day I put the application in the mail. They got the letter 4 or 5 days later as my account was charged that Friday (I sent it on Monday). I was actually rather surprised at the quick turnaround. I did send a letter to Midway, I have been...

Hello everyone! Since I should (hopefully) be getting my C&R discount at Midway soon, plus the fact that I am going to pick up some surplus rifles, I thought this would be a good time to get into reloading. I want to be able to reload rifle and pistol (.45 for now) calibers. From what I am...

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to discover my mailbox stuffed with a big package and a nice little blue envelope. It took three weeks (less than I thought), but I got my C&R! So, I spent part of today mailing off copies to everyone I might order from. Now I just have to wait a while for...

Sorry for making two threads in the same day. :) A while ago I was watching a special on the Lewis & Clark expedition. Much to my amazement, they carried an "air rifle," which is something I had never heard of before. Though it seemed a little impracticable, it was extremely cool... except for...

Everyone, thank you. I knew this was the right place to ask my question! I appreciate the pictures and links as well. I may have to look into picking one of these up one day as a collectors piece. :) Was there any particular reason they chose the 6.5 x 53R? It seems like an odd caliber...

A Dutch friend and I were discussing rifles, and we started to wonder what arms the Dutch army used during the Second World War. He wasn't sure, and neither of us was able to find out through a simple internet search. We figure they must have been made by one of the bigger nations (France...

I've been thinking of doing some small scale reloading myself, and if I get a K31 like I want it would be an ideal time to start. But can I ask what the start-up cost will be? Most people seem to have setups that are many hundreds of dollars, a bit out of my reach at the moment. Can you start...

Thank you very much for the replies! I am going to consider all of your suggestions carefully. I certainly will do more research before deciding; I just wanted to have somewhere to start. I did want to touch on one thing, the Swiss K31. I have thought about buying one before as they have a...

I was hoping to get a little advice on a good second rifle. Right now I have the CZ 452 Training, which is an excellent .22 bolt action with iron sights only (I have modified them though with a peep sight). I don't hunt, but I want a larger caliber rifle with a scope... honestly, mostly because...

Hello everyone, This kind of question has been asked before, but I thought I would give you my specific situation and see what advice I get. Since learning about firearms through this forum, I have purchased .22 Ruger pistol (love it, though it jams a lot... actually good for a new shooter...

Thanks for all the comments. The dealer seems friendly and actually lives less than an hour from me, so I don't feel too much pressure to buy something this very minute. When I go back to the show I am going to check more closely on the condition of the SKS barrels, I looked online and saw that...

Hi everyone! I have been very happy with my pistols and my bolt-action .22, but for a while I have wanted to get a rifle with a little more power for use at the range, and something I could use for SHTF if it really came to it. I am saving up for an AR-15 that I want, but it will be a while...

Thanks guys! I am just going to have to start ordering everything online...

Guys, what is a good price for a WASR-10? The only local store selling one wants $450 for one with a normal stock and $499 for the folding stock model (though now I suspect one might be a normal WASR-10 and the other the GP WASR-10, I will have to check.) Are these decent prices if you consider...

You are 100% correct.

It will be a little while before I could get an AR, but I have my "training" firearms and I am seriously thinking about which ones I am going to get next. I have been reading a lot about AR's on this site and others, but I am really confused about some things I am hoping you can help me out...
