Paul, if you are willing to throw the types of rifles you don't care for to the wolves then you are not helping your own cause. The latest assault weapons ban covers just about everything but single shots.

The Obama administration will lay the groundwork for eventual gun bans, & registration of all firearms. The 2nd amendment is at stake here, not just a few guns you don't care for.

That being said I think that I will now turn my attentions toward my next buy.These are the probables. The K98k Israeli,the K98 Karabiner,the Gew 98,or the Enfield #1MK4.It will be one of them I have to stick to rifles for which I can buy soft tip or hollow point ammo.Anything 7mm or 6.5mm is out for now. I will buy in January.aside from the C&R site anyone that has one of those to sell let me know. I am C&R licensed..Now finally I need input on one very important point.Buying...

Bill there is no need to apologise for stating your views

I'm Curt, I was apologising to Bill for going "political" on his board.

Just a friendly reminder guys, don't get too heavy into the "politics", stick to the guns, per ParallaxBill's rules.

With that out of the way, it's nice to see a respectable settlement to what appeared to be an initial dispute.

BrassRat makes a good point about not singling out one "genre".

PaulM, it may take a little while to get the "flavor" of the forum, but welcome, and please stick around, I think you'll like the...

forget it Patriotic don't sweat the small stuff .I saw what the AK 47 did to my brothers in Nam and in 1960 I was in Korea and the conflict was over or so I thought. But on three different occasions the North Korean patrols snuck across the DMZ and set up ambush traps.They used the Chinese SKS.Here too I saw my brothers hit by them. I worry about our soldiers in Iraq,but Colt finally got it right with the new M4 which is a good weapon and the two sniper rifles The Army's M24 and the...

PaulM, Let's start over. We got off on the wrong foot. First, I would like to thank you for your service to our country. I have the utmost respect for our Vets. I can see from your post how you came to feel the M16 is junk. I agree the first ones were. I personally think we should have stayed with the M14. The other two, I'm guessing, you dislike because they were used by the enemy you fought. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, I apologize for offending you. You have a right to your...

Bill there is no need to apologise for stating your views I spent almost thirty years in uniform fighting for you right to do just that. I had assumed that I was talking to Garand enthusiasts.So far as your friend Patriotic is concerned and this is MY OPINION I saw the AK 47 used in Vietnam and the SKS used in Korea.While I have a great regard for Foreign made rifles I still reserve the right to my opinion.The original M16 We threw the G-----n in the rice paddies it was so...

PaulM, Sounds to me like you are phishing. You had to know that calling the M16, SKS, and AK47 junk would anger members of this board. I'm not falling for it. I choose instead to ignore your remarks.

This post reminds me of the motorcycle crowd, the dressers don't care for the choppers who think the cafe racers are a bunch of weenies who think the dirt bikers are giving everyone a bad name. Everyone thinks it's OK if you legislate away what the other guys are doing as long as you leave me alone.

I got news for you bud, people who don't like motorcycles, or guns, don't know the difference and don't care...

Now don't get me wrong I'm not for the Gun bann or against the M1 garand I do not have one since I collect the great Bolt Action rifles of history and do all of my shooting with either my Lee Enfields or My Springfield.We can all figure that the Assault weapons ban will go in sometime during President Obamas first term.Personally I don't think things will be as bad as was first believed.Now what does worry me is this reference made to semi auto rifles.For the sake of you folks...
