Yeah that's definitely an awesome scene! Lever actions are fun to shoot. I have 4 of 'em, but no mare's leg with a large loop like Arnie's.

Marlin 336 from the 1950's
Winchester 94 from the late 1950's (inherited from my best friend who passed away a few years ago)
Marlin 1894 from the late 1800's (my great grandfather's rifle which he used when homesteading in Oregon)

All red blooded Americans must, at the very least - shoot once, an M1 Garand. I was lucky enough to come across a pristine example last year, and it's now the pride of my collection. A wartime, pacific theater, completely numbers matching November 1943 Springfield.

Guys at the range lose their minds. I could have gambled and dropped $700 for an unknown, mix and match CMP service grade frankenrifle. But I found this guy on GB last year, and bought it from a collector in SLC Utah. It's been completely gone through and original parts verified by Roland Beaver - with documentation.

Don't get me wrong, you can score an amazing rifle through CMP and I encourage everyone to look into it. Every man should own a Garand.

That's a gorgeous Garand! And a nice collector piece, with it being all original. Those are hard to come by these days.

My friend's dad (the one who gave me the Winchester 94) has a nice Garand too. It's got a national match barrel and is very accurate. Hearing the "ping" as the enbloc clip ejects is a satisfying sound.

One of these days, I want to order a CMP Garand. While their frankenrifles aren't very collectible, they make a fine shooter. Though they occasionally have some original collector grade rifles on their auction site.

This is the part of the story from some that really bothers me. I suppose there may be sites where you can do this, but if I buy a gun in the interwebs, it better be a good deal, because I can add shipping and FFL transfer fees to it.

Then, when I pick it up, there is transfer paperwork to file, and affidavits, under penalty of law, that I am buying for me, not for someone else.

Maybe I need to look harder, because evidently criminals have internet options that us mere mortals don't.

I live in NJ, one of the most unfriendly gun states in the country. If and when I or anyone else decides to purchase any gun out-of-state via the internet, it has to be shipped to a licensed gun dealer who serves as a FFL in NJ. Then I or anyone else has to go through the national NICS federal database search and approval process before the FFL gun dealer can finalize the gun deal, transferring the gun to the purchaser. I do not have a problem with that. Is it a PITA, yes, but if it does prevent someone who should not be allowed to purchase a gun then it is working as intended.

Having said that, I firmly believe that too many self-proclaimed liberals have a knee-jerk reaction to any horrific mass shooting incident with the response that "we have to do something to prevent this from happening again".
That response is usually some proposed state legislation that is well intentioned, but not very well thought out. All of us law-abiding gun enthusiasts are tarred and feathered by the anti-gun folks who want to impose even more gun regulations that will not have the intended effect.

Criminals do not abide by any laws and will continue to obtain guns illegally, and the result of additional gun laws will be to just impose further restrictions on all of law-abiding US Citizens and not stop or prevent the lone wolf, mentally disturbed individual from getting a gun and doing or attempting to do some horrific mass shooting.

^it's all about the feels for them..."if it saves just one life..."

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Agree with all the above as also a resident of NJ - look at our neighbors/friends to the north with the UNsafe Act in New York - my buddy can't even buy ammo online, and don't they have a 10 round magazine cap now? Friggin ridiculous. I am thankful I can still buy ammo online (most places require your FID to do so along with drivers license) as it would be really annoying to not be able to buy in bulk online.

And yes, agreed about online purchases, by the time you do the shipping, FFL fee to your dealer, you may as well walk to your local gun shop and just ask them what the out the door price is, you may not be getting as good of a deal as you thought.


Just wanted to update, joined the 12-gauge and .22 LR club the other day - got a Mossberg 500 Classic, already swapped out for 12" Hogue LOP stock/forend, and 18.5" barrel and Mossberg heat shield, dressed up for tactical/home defense, but I also have the 24" barrel and wood furniture it came with if I go hunting or do some outdoor shooting - this is a seriously sturdy and well built shotgun, I'm sure it will probably outlive me.

Wife got herself a Ruger 10/22 LR Takedown, shes petite so if we go shooting with long guns she'd need something that wouldn't kill her much with recoil - its another nice, well built piece of equipment, very impressed, even came with a nice backpack type range bag. Just need to order a few 15 round magazines from Ruger to keep in the bag, I have 2 of the 10 rounders but the longer curved magazines just scream bad-ass rifle. Piggybacking my state, I am not able to legally own/purchase the Ruger 25 round magazines, sigh.

Looking forward to putting some rounds through both of these. Took advantage of Sportsman's Guide's free 30-day buyers club membership, which saved me $28 on ammo and $20 on an introductory free shipping offer. I probably will cancel the membership before the 30 days
