I always just stand and stare at people like that as if they have a third eye or something without responding. It makes them very uncomfortable, and rarely does the conversation last very much longer. They certainly don't come back a second time. As you gain a little age and financial security, the same people go from offering unsoliciting advice to prying into your personal business to try and find out why you are more successful and happier than they are. The same response works here as well.

Garufa gave you some sound advice in your other thread. If you're wanting an M1 carbine, shell out the coin and get a decent milsurp. You'll be glad you did. We have several guns, but the M1 Carbines are favorites among my entire family.

...and they got their butts handed to them. Still, a very good run all and all. My wife was upset they burned their best pitchers against California. I told her if they hadn't, thy most likely wouldn't have got to play today.

I'd have bought it.

I picked up some odd, out of production ammo from a vendor for what seemed like fair prices. Didn't find anything else interesting. I guess the show was o.k., but not as good as some.

I guess I'm a hybrid of Bargain Guy and Gun Collector Guy.

Thanks for the reviews, guys! May have to check it out in the morning.

I have 3 scales, one cheap Frankford Arsenal electronic, an old Ohaus scale, and a Lee Safety scale. They all read the same. Exactly; every time. Are you sure your Lee scale is off and not your RCBS scale? Do you have check weights? The way the Lee scale works, once it is zeroed, I can't see any way it would get off unless your bench isn't stable.

....and that's why I post on this forum. There are many angles of various subjects I haven't considered. As a group, you guys pretty well have it covered!!!

Can you all imagine the headlines if an HCP holder had done all the shooting the NYPD did?

Police shot this guy and nine other bystanders, while he never shot back? Did I read that wrong?

Most of the guys I grew up around did more drinking before the age of 21, or 18 for that matter, than they do as an adult.

Think about it this way: there are many deer anchored with bows each season. Which do you have more faith in? Your SKS, or a stick and string?

That's a helluva lot better excuse than the same old "it's for the children" cr@p our county mayor and commissioners keep heaving at us.

I thought active duty were exempt from the legal age garbage. When did that change?

So I suppose if we gun people aren't noticing many people CCing, and we're sort of looking for it, we're doing a pretty good job concealing, huh?

Make a good shot into the vitals with a decent exposed lead tipped bullet, and you'll have plenty of gun for deer and bear. I wouldn't worry about what others think. If they make fun of a guy with a loaded SKS, thay are morons to begin with. I've not yet killed a deer with my SKS, but I may put it on my to do list.

I try to look for telltale signs of conceal carry when out and about, if I think to, and I rarely ever see anyone carrying. I can remember two open carriers, and I'm not 100% sure I've ever seen a conceal carry. If I'm looking and can't spot them, I doubt many will notice mine. I guess I'm not cut out for detective work.

Not if it has extra holes.

If it is the one currently listed on GOC, it says it has been drilled and tapped for a scope. When bubba goes drilling into a valuable firearm, it ceases to be very valuable. As I said, condition is key.

Sorrry....I couldn't resist.

Condition is the determining factor. Let's assume they are both mint. I'd trade in a heartbeat were I you.

What do you need to know? I'd sure love to have one. One in good, original condition is pretty scarce and quite expensive.

Sir, I would recommend a good condition pre 64 Winchester model 94 or 64. If you don't mind a hammerless lever rifle, the 1899 Savage would be a good choice. It's also hard to beat an old 36 Marlin.
