Don't have one. I like the lever action rifles myself.

Rgr "M1 thumb"... It hasn't bit me yet... Seems like that would hurt, as the bolt slams fwd with considerable force!

Nice ones Paul!

Some shots from 5yrs ago...I've added to the arsenal substantially since...:USA-flag:

***Willy*** · July 30th, 2009, 16:53

Carried around one of those 1903A3 Springfields in boot camp. Often thought about getting one just for old time's sake.

hehe Looks like my collection except add: (2) K98 Mauser's, M1 Carbine, STAG AR-15 w/aimpoint, M1A1 Thompson, 1898 Winchester pump shotgun, Remington 870, India pattern Brown Bess. I won't get into the pistol stuff!

PS No AK's.....I've fired them before and I think they're junk, my opinion, but then again I was only a four time Marine rilfe expert and rifle team member what do I know?! :-)

PPS WWII auto weapons I've fired.....I don't own any auto's myself: B.A.R (all time favorite), all models Thompson, 1918 .30 cal and .50 cals, MP40, MG42, MP44, auto M2 Carbine (Korean war), most rare weapon I've fired is probably the M1941 Johnson .30cal rifle, not many people have fired that one.

Didn't the USA gains its independence from England with firearms? The most advanced firearms of the day?
Notice that no one in this whole thread said that they wanted to kill people, or cause mayhem, yet we own tons of weapons? Guess we're not THAT bad!
Firearms are one of those interests that either you understand, and like, or you don't. Either way I hope your gov't allows a choice.

**Cirrus N210MS** · July 30th, 2009, 12:59

nope the bayonet is used for running threw people who brake into peoples homes if they get to close to you

though i dot think they would get that close to you when ur shooting 122 grain hollow points eheh

**Brett_Henderson** · July 30th, 2009, 13:07

Ummm.. an SKS is a semi-automatic rifle

They really are amazing weapons, for the price. Rugged, dependable, and reasonably accurate

Edit: I have what's suggested in this thread's title

**Cirrus N210MS** · July 30th, 2009, 13:07

and here is my other automatic my little old ruger 10\22 with a military \ police sniper optics scope was from a M24 sniper rifle the scope was given to me by my uncles friend in las vegas

**Cirrus N210MS** · July 30th, 2009, 13:15

Largest calibur projectiles in my house are .177 BBs - and that was an earthquake when my father bought it for me, too!

**TeaSea** · July 30th, 2009, 15:00

M1 Garand and an M1 Carbine....both of which I need to clean.

No bad thumb here either -- yet.

**BurningBeard** · July 30th, 2009, 15:12

Ive got two clones of HK rifles, the 91 (.308) and 93 (.223) gotta love roller locked goodness.

smoores · July 30th, 2009, 15:59

I've got a small .22 Winchester 74 long rifle, and an M-4

**Ridge** · July 30th, 2009, 17:24

No autos here, only semis

**GT182** · July 30th, 2009, 18:16

Give me an old Winchester or Remmington lever action rifle any day. I'm sorry I sold my 1935 30-30 94 Winchester and 1100 Remmington before I moved here to DE. All I have now is the Mossburg 152 semi automatic .22LR I got for Christmas in 1961.
