That's rare!

Now consider those especially with all matching numbers which have survived all this time ( not the mock ups and re-arsenaled parts guns) that makes this item even rarer yet.


Wow. One of 200,000! Rare. But still an ugly rifle. To each his own.


Harry, IMO AR's are the proverbial dime-a-dozen, and they'er far from cute.


Ahh, but I didn't get an AR15 because it was beautiful or collectible.


[i'll comment on the next lines...]

I
got it because it was reliable, a good shooter, easy to customize, and
easy to carry. I'm shooting 1-1/2" groups at 100 yards now with ordinary
Wolf Gold ammo.

Sounds just like a decent Mosin to me....

All the advantages of a Mosin without the 10 pound carry weight, 4'
length, and slow bolt action!

I suppose you go on a lot of long, forced marches and need to spit out rounds in a hurry...at paper?

I see no advantages to an overly heavy, 4' long rifle when there are
lighter and shorter alternatives that are more accurate.

Yup, those pop bottles are dangerous sommiches and you need to be able
to get off a quick follow up shot if they turn and charge you.

Our range frowns on "rapid fire" defined as 2 seconds between shots.
Oswald did better than that with a nasty ass Carcano


Nah. I don't miss on the first shot, but sometimes the pop bottle next
to it tries to attack. Oh, I shoot paper targets, too, and "gongs."

What are you shooting? Manatees?


The only critters I have shot in the last 40 years or so were a few
rats and a ****load of those pesky skeets.


The indoor range I like has no 2 second rule.


The range here is outside but I assume they are trying to make a more
pleasant experience for serious shooters. You don't want to be in the
lane next to a guy doing magazine dumps with an assault rifle.

Some times I will do a double tap and nobody has said anything about
it but I only do it if I am a few lanes down from the nearest other
shooter.

Oh, and I don't dislike bolt action rifles. But the 1894 Swedish Mauser
I like is about 36" long and weights a smidgen over seven pounds.
Remember, I like lever action rifles, too. But not "oversized, heavy" ones.



If it is really noisy at the range, I wear ear plugs and muffs. I tried
someone's "electronic" muffs, forgot the brand name, but was not impressed.
