First off let me give you some background info... I'm 16 and am an avid responsible shooter. I have a small collection of guns which are "mine". These firearms I paid for and are registered in my fathers name... they will be turned over to me when I reach 18 and 21. For now they stay locked up and away from me unless my father is letting me clean them or shoot them under his supervision. I am also trying to get several of my friends into shooting aswell. Their parents however will not agree to this. Recently one of my friends parents approved the same deal I have going and will be allowed to get a "rifle" provided the same conditions above. My friend asked me what rifle should he buy and begin to build. I thought instantly an AR-15 due to my own preferences but realized this was not a good first rifle. His mother almost screamed when she saw it. So we are trying to build him a rifle that is less than $800 (pushing it) and doesn't look "mean". My thoughts are to get him an Auto Ordinance M1 Carbine, forward scout style picatinny rail, and slap and Aimpoint on top. I think that this would be a good starting rifle because he will not be able to get the Aimpoint right away and the irons would be a good start. I also love the accuracy of other M1's I have used and the recoil. This rifle was given the ok... stock with no magazine present  But however we are still open to suggestions... Mini-14's are ok, and garands aswell. Too bad the garand is outta the price range Would you guys just list some quality guns that are decent at a fair price that are good for a beginner and "don't look mean". Any advice would be greatly appreciated j0hn |

Send his ass over to RFC and have him buy a Ruger 10/22... With ~$800 to work with, he can buy the basic model used/new and then pick out just about any stock he wants online, add a Hawktech (?) orange bolt buffer, a few 25rd magazines along with a few factory 10rd, VQ hammer, extended magazine release, and even a new barrel if he wants one. If there is enough money left over he can throw in a scope from SWFA too. Buy Rem/Fed bulk packs of .22LR for $10. The best thing for him to start out with is a .22LR FWIW, you can never logically appease a libtard... Your friend could buy a single-shot Thompson Center Contender and 'tacticalize' it and the woman will freak out, even if you showed her that it can only fire one round at a time... Which has a slower ROF than a bolt action. IMO, either buy a 10/22 or the AR15 that he wants. Just as long as your friend has a level head and knows the rules/laws, I foresee no serious problems with him owning a firearm. Examples: Ruger 10/22 - OK  TC Contender - OK  AR15 - OK  **** Ruger 10/22 - EVIL  TC Contender - EVIL I can't find the tacticalized picture... It used to be on Cabela's website.AR15 - EVIL
