For under $400 you can get a Mossberg ATR100 with or without a scope. I have 2 of these rifles and they shoot just as good as any other rifle for under $1200.
I just got a 100ATR in .30-06 and it shoots great. You can't go wrong with it. I looked at the $299 w/scope package and wanted a better scope so I spent $299 on the rifle with a Mossy Oak Camo stock and spent an additional $99 on a Bushnell Banner scope and was shooting 2 to 3 inch groups at...
I used to go hunting with my pediatrician and his family. When I was 13 he told me I had exceptional gun handling and safety skills and he would trust me in the woods with his son anyday (his son was 9 at the time).
I think he already knew we had guns in the house.
I've been pulled over a couple of times since I got my CCL.
In OK you are only required to inform law enforcement if they approach you.
Here's my procedure:
After I pull over I immediately secure my firearm in the glovebox and get out my information before the officer gets to my window...
propellers
What good did it do to sell USSR the 5 axis milling machines for super quite propellors. They already had proven technology in their caterpiller drive. Much quieter!!!:neener:
A 22 is a good rifle to start out with and learn the fundementals of breathing and trigger control, and as you pointed out ammo is cheap.
You really can't go wrong with any of the choices anyone is going to mention here.
My advice is to enjoy the handguns until you have the extra cash to...
I'll modify an AR and a glock, but I'll leave my 1911 , M-1s SKS, and '03 alone.
Some firearms just beg to be modified, others are a piece of art as is.
Learning curve goal
See if you can field strip the rifle down to the point of having the bolt and firing pin removed and the extractor off the bolt and put the rifle back together in under 2 minutes.
That includes handguards off, BTW.
It's really a simple rifle to disassemble and clean...
ZERO!
I love my guns and want more, but my daughters education is paramount and I will do anything and do without anything to ensure she gets all the education she is capable of absorbing.
congressional spam responses
OK, be realistic here. Our representatives receive huge amounts of email and letters. In order to respond to these they have to write "blanket reponses" that will fit most situations and their aides will respond with the appropriate letter.
I can vouch for my...
I have an Oly AR and personally, I like it. I was told by some kid at the gun shop that he would never buy one because they are a POS. He never could expand on why they were a POS.
That said, the only problem I have had is that a couple of my beat up mags won't lock. Same story with cheap...
I put one of their stocks on one of my Garands. It was a dead on fit right out of the box. Looks great, but (as I was aware) it is a little bulkier than the "stock" stock. I'm satisfied!
You can post threads on the CMP forums and ask people who are getting their rifles now, when they ordered theirs. You can get pretty close to guessing your ship date using that method.
Be patient, it's worth it......and addictive. You'll start ordering more rifles and ammo from CMP just so...
Semper Fi
I was hoping to be the one to start this thread, but happy someone got to it before me.
Semper Fi Brothers.
How are you celebrating?
My co-workers and I are meeting in our break room at 0630 for cake and "the reading of the message".
"Some people go through life...
My daughter is 5 and she got a Red Rider for Christmas last year. The spring is stiff enough that she can not cock the gun by herself. That's just an added safety feature IMHO.
I bought the gun for her in order to use it as a tool to teach her to be safe around the firearms we have in the...
This kinda sums it up....
In December of 1998, a Marine officer relayed a story told by Lt.Gen. Tommy R. Franks, who commands the 3rd U.S. Army and U.S. Army Forces Central Command:
"After all the briefs, the general ended the meeting relating a visit he made with the American ambassador to...
