I’m half tempted to get a doughboy outfit and an ‘03 and go compete in a 3 gun match in the “heavy metal” division.

Bayonet inbound.

I’ve seen that episode.

The proper approach to this question and others like it isn’t “what can I do?” It should always be “what must I do?” Whether in your home or elsewhere. So the question isn’t “can I shoot this person,” the question is “must I shoot this person to defend my life, or the lives of others from imminent harm.” If that’s your operating position, I think the odds of you actually being in a position to shoot anybody are pretty damn low, and facing legal trouble over the shoot well below that.

In honor of my most recent acquisition.

1948.

Louis hits the nail on the head on why folks are watching this so intently.

Thanks! It gets better... The best part is that I was in South Dakota last week and saw one in a Cabela’s. I almost walked out of there with one that had its bayo and had a wonderful patina. It was $3500. Even after I track down the M1917, I’ll have about 1/4-1/3 of that invested. I picked this up for less than the price of a reproduction, and I didn’t even have to search the deal out. It fell into my lap by way of a friend of a friend. I’m super excited right now.

The guy I bought it from got the receiver as a project to do a standard build on. Then he discovered the proof marks and realized what it was so he built it up with all surplus, takeoff or NOS parts. I would consider it the equivalent to a rearsenaled mixmaster. Once my buddy who has ahold of it gets home, he’s going to send me the serial so I can date it.

Don’t know. Don’t have physical possession yet. I’m still on the road.

I accidentally made this your topic.

Here ya go. I’m working on tracking down a M1917 bayonet as well.

This isn’t about rational investing anymore. This is the internet learning a new power. The power to go after the one group of folks everyone hates, Wall Street. It’s not investing, it’s war. I was reminded of something an old buddy of mine once said, “The next American revolution will be French.”

I know I’m hella hard on Reddit, and you obviously love it. They get a Broken Clock Award here.

Oh, I’m cheering alright. I’m loving this for a multitude of reasons.

Sooo....were these firms in charge of anyone’s pension fund?

Here’s the real money quote.

@CapbyrdThey’re talking about 3-D printing 10/22 receivers.

That’s pretty much it. Only thing I would add is that make sure the box is sufficiently strong sided enough that it cannot easily be pried open from the sides. My M&P came with a good enough case, the one I got with my CDHP doesn’t work as well. If the case isn’t sufficiently secure, you can be turned away.

It’s an easy rule that takes pretty much zero effort to follow. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Yup. The pic of him from the inauguration was just super meme worthy.

You’re fine trading ammo. It’s firearms that’s require paperwork.
