They always forget the CMP Garand...

Posted: 9/14/2005 6:40:44 PM EDT

Unless CMP means "U.S. G.I.", forget it. I want the real deal.

And I can't believe that wasn't on the list.

Given the recent love-fest in N.O. and subsequent LEO actions, I can't see spending money on anything you can't carry with you when you have to go. If it can't pierce a looter or vest, it will be something you just have to wavy bye-bye to as you hit the road. It's a great list if you have a boating accident in your future, though.

I would take the SPAS 12 off the list. And go with a wilson combat boarder patrol 870.
Trust me you don't want a spas 12

You seem to be missing the 120 mm smoothbore. A common mistake, I'm sure.

For that reason OK

But the most complicated shotgun ever made.I would still like to have mine but sold it for a nice price, and really not worth what you will have to pay for one.

Ditch the .308 upper for your AR-15 since it's not possible.

I doubt I'd have the money even if I still had cash saved up from summer, but IM about a potential price if you do decide to sell it.

It's a kit, so it's missing a receiver, right?

We've already got a Guide Gun, I just want one all my own.

After the first two or three sessions with it, my dad stuck it in the safe and I've been the one buying and using all the .45-70 Government that comes into the house.

Too bad for him about that old dislocated shoulder making big-bore rifles too uncomfortable to shoot. Maybe he can join Sarge in the .22 and doll section.

The VEPR is about the only thing on your list that I like.

Your suggestion of converting an MG-42 to .308 should be punishable by death.

they're way over priced, parts are impossible to find, they're bulky, heavy and cumbersom. All they have going for them is they look cool. That's it.

Doesn't matter. If you can afford the gun then you should be able to afford the ammo. The MG-42 is an outstanding historical artifact. Converting one to .308 would be likie using the Holy Grail as a fish bowl.

It's not like I can't swap the parts out. And I DID say it was a possibility, not something I was going to do. I'd prefer to keep it as original as possible.

As for the Holy Grail...

I didn't say the Barrett 82 was NFA. It was included in the list of "ATF Regulated OR Just Plain Pipe Dreams", i.e., "I could never in my life afford even half of this stuff".

Nice prices, certainly better than I've seen at gunshows or advertised online. I'm a little confused by the terms they use to describe the condition of the rifles.

Rack grade and field grade have good prices, but I have no idea what this "throat 5" and crap means. I assume it means that they're nearly shot out and will need new barrels and stocks? How about the service grade? I take it those rifles are in good condition?

And does the NRA count as a CMP-friendly organization, or will I have to join another group to order a Garand?

Skip the SPAS-12... I had a LAW-12 and it was quite possibly THE MOST DANGEROUS gun I've ever owned... Like the others said, it is complicated, parts are hard to find, it is heavy. I know you're going for looks so you might as well get a Benelli and have the functioning and safety part too...

Oh, Saiga to AK-104? Maybe something like this...
