Carried one in the jungleandpaddies, does that count?

Only info on .284 is that their cases can be used for the 7.5 Swiss. Only case out there that can be used…

Not sure here….you are talking about lubes and have a picture of Barbara Eden. Have I wandered into a “different” thread?

Given the choice I would carry a M-1 over a M-16. Carried both in the Nam, and my M-2 never jammed or caused me any grief, unlike my M-16. I now have 4 carbines, a IJ and 3 military. (Also 3 ARs, but we won’t talk about them). Maybe it s just me, but a buttstroke from a M-1/2 seems as if it...

Couple f things here. In the 80s there was a series, “Sledgehammer”, a comedic police series. I was a Robbery Detective and some officers had recovered the titular firearm from. rolling stolen. It was a stainless .44 Mag, with a distinctive grip, a sledgehammer with a halo over it, finally...

And it was!

I bought a couple of steel feet/holders from CDNN, and use 2x2s for the frame, cardboard in between and adhesive targets, works for me.

I had a 1958 Rambler, front sears reclined to make a bed. I thought it was neat, my dates, not so much.

Have a 6.5 Swede and a .264 Mag. Never saw the need for another, unless it be a 6.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer. (confidentially I have some 6.5 Carcanos,but let’s not tell anyone)!

Problem with older wheelguns is the aging population, IMO. Remember about the year 2000 when Model Ts were popular, but the people who drove valued and remember them started to die off. Even the muscle cars I knew and drove are starting to decline in value. Same with wheelguns, kids have...

True, I was just addressing the firearm lawsuit, but living in the Southwest makes appreciate your point.

But how are they going to get all those $ from Uncle Sugar? The whole purpose. I can’t see gangs using stuff smuggled from here, when they can use full auto stolen from the Mex Armyor brought in from other countries.

Sounds like the qual course the Marines used in 1968, except 500 meters, not 600.

Chinese version looks like a BIG target!

As an addenda…first duty holster was a JAT clamshell. Had its positives and negatives.

30 Super Carry! Well, maybe. Been thinking about this one. Smith Shield is only $250 after rebate and I reload, so after an initial 100 rounds, I can work up some loads. I like the idea of having 13/16 rounds without a reload in a compact package. Besides it is different. Haven’t bought...

Maybe I am missing something, but if it really gets bad, who is going to buy your metal? Trying to imagine a Great Depression scenario; or disruption of the internet, or massive rioting, in which gold would be useful for more than filling teeth. Especially paperwork saying you have some gold...

Combat also worked.

The V.A.keeps me on a90 day, max, supply of my PTSD meds. After that I might not be such a nice guy!

I think most of us who went into the military in the early 60s learned offhand shooting, and the other positions, with an M-14. Earlier generations did the same with the Garand.
