I'd buy every lever rifle, 1911, and AR I could afford since the tacticool crowd will be selling them cheap to finance the latest FA toys. A .22 can may be nice for teaching kids to shoot but otherwise... I've got no real use for anything FA unless it's a long-term investment. SBR's are fun. A vertical foregrip on some pistols makes them easier to handle.

The C&R game was fun about 10 years ago. You could buy mosin nagants for under $100 all day long and a nice SKS was in the $200-250 range. There were no other centerfire rifles in those price ranges at the time. Now the C&R guns have increased in demand to the point that you can buy a new modern rifle for less money. Modern weapons are a much better/smarter buy for most folks since warranties, available accessories, greater accuracy etc. are the norm. Plus modern ammo in modern firearms does not have corrosive primers or powders and is overall easier to maintain. I have not used my C&R license in years and really have no reason to renew it. Years ago the C&R vendors typically sold all ammo to C&R license holders at discounted rates and treated them like a class 1 FFL. This resulted in 20ish % discounts on ammo and accessories back then too. There just isn't any incentive left for me to have the C&R license anymore.

I had a lot of mil-surp .308 ammo laying around that I didn’t want to damage a “nicer” rifle so I bought an axis II and mounted an Athlon argos 6-24x50. I love that setup. The accuracy and consistency is better than I imagined and to be honest the rifle is much more accurate I am. This budget build was a great investment that gets the job done.

I would be all over this deal if I was closer. My brother-in-law is in Spring Hill but he has the COVID this week. I am sure someone will jump on this deal before I get a chance to. Great price for my favorite carry gun.

As long as you buy a gun made by a company with a transferable lifetime warranty I see no problem.
It seems like the budget brands offer these warranties more frequently than the more affluent manufacturers. I’ve sent Keltec and Walther guns I bought in pieces from previous owners who broke or lost parts and they both fixed and assembled them free and paid the shipping each way. I suspect HiPoint and Henry would do the same but doubt many others will. -
Anytime I hear revolver i immediately think COLT Single Action Army.grab one with Ivory grips for $8-10k and don’t look back.
if your like myself and a bit more practical there are many reproductions priced well below $1K.
I like single action revolvers. If I want double action I will just grab a semiautomatic pistol.

The wife got me an awesome new wedding band (the original was too tight)… Plus a couple mags and tuckable holster for the xds that I’ve been carrying.
My dog bought me a couple Heritage revolvers too. LOL.
Parents set me up with a smokeless fire pit and the kids got me a new phone case and life jacket.
I’ve been blessed!
Merry Christmas all!

I typically only visit forums:
1. When something is broke.
2. when I’m looking for something to spend my money on.3. when I’ve just bought something cool and want to brag a bit.
Currently I’m searching for a coach gun with rabbit ears. It seems like they went from being everywhere to being impossible to find. I’ve went out shopping for them three times and brought home 5 handguns instead of the coach gun I have been wanting for a year.
I figure looking online will be safer on the wallet than going to another gun shop.

I’m a Sullivan county native and don’t visit this site frequently but stop by occasionally.

It has been a while since you posted this but it’s good to know a local shop does good work. Thanks for the recommendation. I drive by their shop occasionally but have not taken time to stop in and investigate.

Don’t sell them. You inherited a few items that were likely priceless to your father and odds are that they will also be priceless to your children, grandchildren, nephews etc. They aren’t eating anything and don’t cost you anything to store them.
Unless you really need the money just sit on them and know you have items of historical family value to one day share with other firearm enthusiasts in your family or circle of friends.
in honor of your dad take them out and shoot then clean them occasionally. Many folks sell off items like these and have serious regrets in the future. Go pick them up (or you can legally ship them to yourself if your the owner) and enjoy them.

I like the Marlin 336.

Get a 30-30 leaver action. They a a great intro to center fire rifles.

If you wanted a 9X19 Bersa has that as well. I have been wanting a .45 cal Bersa for a few years but have only found local. Good luck.

Am I the only one that got pissed when Romney sais automatic guns are illegal? With the money he has recieved from the NRA he should have someone explain the most commonly misunderstood gun laws and be able to talk facts. That statement was the point when I realsed he is just putting on a show like any other politician.

North American Arms would make a nice base model 1911. I'd buy one.

Smith & Wesson Oasis is my daily beater. $20 or so at Tractor Supply Co. and it gets sharpened about twice a week. On the farm or in the woods I have a Bass Pro Shops Readhead fixed blade that I paid about the same for. In my boat I have a few Mora fixed blades stashed for quick grabs. I have fancy expensive knives but I like a cheap beater for daily carry as a knife, screwdriver, chisel, or whatever.

I make wine for a hobby and always have plenty stocked. My wife and I rarely drink so I just bottle and store until a friend stops in for a free bottle. I have considered it as a good trading implement.

Just put camo duct tape on them.

The Bersa 9 is nice if you are on a budget and like a thumb safety.

If you're willing to drive a couple of hours, go to Whittaker's in Owensboro, KY. They have one of the largest selection of new and used guns you will find and you won't beat their prices. If you are looking local, Franklin Gun Shop has a nice selection (but many of us think they are way overpriced) and Gun's n Leather in Greenbriar is good place to look.
I would highly recommend the drive to Whittaker's personally. I end up coming home with something every trip I make.
Yes Sir!!! Whittaker's is the first place I would look if I lived closer to them. I wish I could find a store around here with prices that good and the selection is a dream come true. Last time I walked through the store they had a $50 single shot sitting next to a $4,700 O/U so they will have something for everyone.

I had a PLR-16 that I bought with the vertical for-grip installed by the previous owner. It would not feed worth a crap and was way too inaccurate for my taste. After trying a viriety of sights and magazines I wanted it gone. I had no idea that the grip was illegel untill I went to trade it in. The shop I was in was nice and took the grip off in 10 sec. flat and THEN explaned.
The vertical grip was useless because with the brake sending the sound into your face it was unbairably loud and impossable to aim. This is one of the only two guns I have ever sold or traded.
Mine looked cool but was useless for anything.

I'm intrigued: The oceaneva brand now has my attention and the testing process along with your ROV.
If you don't mind me asking... What is the primary mission of the ROV? Inspections, exploration, PM's, etc. Additional details on the capabilities would be interesting. Max depth, range, mods, additional uses etc.?
If you ever need a good used EHS guy look me up. LOL
