FlautentJim farts...
"Mostly they robbed and pillaged, in keeping with their heritage as penal colonists." Duh! You're getting us mixed up with Australia. Our early settlers were the cream of the crop. Y'all got the ungrateful motley crew that couldn't wait to bite the hand that fed and protected y'all. |

Tim was going to put that rabbit on his table too. If the fur was valuable enough, he would sell that too. |

It was a fine rifle, but the more I thought about what it was, the more it troubled me to own it. I replaced it with a more traditional-looking rifle that handles the same round, and I actually prefer using it with small magazines. My M1A looks like a traditional rifle. It is not really an assault rifle tho because it is not selective fire and it shoots a full sized cartridge. Ballistically the 7.62x51 is pretty much identical to the 30-06. You can shoot the same bullets at the same velocities, particularly if you use SAAMI .308 loadings but the milspec "ball" round is about the same. My "replacement" for the Colt is a Ruger Mini 14 "Ranch", the one with a black "plastic" (the plastic has a fancier name, but it is plastic to me) stock. I put a scope mount rail on it, and for the moment I have a red dot sight on the rifle. The only modification I've made so far is to send the trigger assembly out for a "full trigger job" to smooth and lighten the action. It shoots the stockpile of .223 and 5.56 ammo I have. For what it's worth, the Ruger Mini 14 *is* on the Highland Park list of banned assault weapons. -- Ban idiots, not guns! I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. We have a crazy quilt of gun regulations. In Maryland, as has often been mentioned, if you buy a new AR15 type rifle, it has to have what is called a "heavy barrel," or HBAR. But there are no restrictions on the purchase of an AR10, a far more deadly black rifle that fires the 30 caliber military round. The Ruger Mini 14 is available here in Maryland without restriction, as is the Mini 30, which fires the "AK" round. Just for giggles I tried to find out if the Ruger Mini 14 is Massachusetts compliant on the web. Bottom line is ... I don't have a clue. Some sources say yes, others say no. I'd have to call a gun shop I guess to find out for sure but since I am not in the market for one, I won't bother. Wacko laws here. Something about "evil features". It seems you can have no more than one "evil feature". A flash hider counts as one. If it threads onto the barrel, apparently the threads count as another. Even the permits that are issued don't make sense. When I first obtained a permit it was called a "Class A". Apparently that has changed. It's now simply called a "License to Carry" and is defined as: "Permits the purchase, possession, transportation and carrying of all large and non-large-capacity handguns, rifles, shotguns and feeding devices a well as ammunition. This is the only license that allows the carrying of concealed handguns-either loaded or unloaded." Yet, a magazine of any type that can hold more than ten rounds is illegal. So, what's the point in having the permit allow "large" capacity handguns and rifles? The MA law regarding "large capacity" is as follows: "A large-capacity firearm is defined as a semi-automatic handgun or rifle that is capable of accepting more than ten rounds, OR is a semi-automatic shotgun capable of accepting more than five shotgun shells, OR is an assault weapon. So, my permit says I can legally own an assault weapon with a 30 round magazine but another section of the MA law says both are illegal to own. I just spent a few minutes looking myself. Apparently, the newer ones must be banned, as there are 'pre-ban' ones for sale in MA. http://www.armslist.com/posts/455823...1981-stainless I couldn't find any listing of banned rifles in MA. You're right, convoluted as hell. "Pre-ban" in Massachusetts refers to firearms manufactured before 1998 when the gun laws were radically changed. You can legally buy or sell a "pre-ban" firearm here but the catch is this: The firearm must have always been owned by a MA resident who kept the gun in MA. Same with selling ... can only sell a "pre-ban" to another current MA resident. I wonder how they regulate that? It sounds like a lot of stupid laws, written by stupid people. You certainly make the case for why registration and "titling" is not an attractive thing for most people. |

You wouldn't expect FlaJim to know that the first English colony in North America was established in Canada, or that Canada is not Australia, would you? |
