I'm going to be paid $2,000 for some freelance writing work at the end of the month, and I'm going to put that money towards my rifle collection. I'm trying to decide between one of two options:
1. Get another Mosin, a Swiss K-31, a Mauser K98, an Enfield, and a whole bunch of ammo,
or...
2. Blow it all on a National Match M1A.
On the one hand, I'd like to take advantage of that C&R. On the other...I've just been drooling like crazy over the M1A after recently watching Full Metal Jacket. The M14 just seems like such a beautiful rifle, and such a special one - the end of an era. The last wooden battle rifle of the United States. The super-Garand that never got its chance to shine, getting replaced by the M16 after just a few years. They look so elegant to me, and I would just love to have one.
What would YOU do?!
