My favorite gun is my ‘Hello Kitty’ rifle with sniper scope. ;)
Every little girl should have one. :)
As I learned at Parris Island in 1951, there is only one gun... A rifle is a rifle, etc...
Don’t care what their names are...I can’t afford to feed any of those.
Groan!! ( I like it!! )
Yes.
AK-14
i think several are just different -Marks
Pardon me, but I was not commenting on finances, I was pointing out that your C&R license does not allow you to own a non-transferable machine gun, so the advantages of having a C&R license are very limited when it comes to C&R machine guns. You’re in the same boat with the rest of us.
As a matter of fact, there were not one, but two laws that prevented you from importing the Maxim in 2018: The Hughes Amendment to the 1986 FOPA, which forbids the transfer of any machine gun not already on the registry (your attempted import was not,) and the GCA of 1968 which banned all imports of machine guns.
Oh, btw, did you know that there are now some Colt AR-15s that are C&R eligible?
I guess the AR isn’t so modern after all...
Frankly, I believe that the federal government’s stance on ANTIQUE HMGs is STUPID.
(Btw, even a BATFE Senior Agent agreed with my assessment of the “stated current policy”)
Beyond stupid, UNCONSTITUTIONAL and I would go so far as to say Treasonous, along with all of the so called gun restrictions place against “shall not be infringed” since 1934 to the first out right ban of weapons found in the 1986 “law” that is NOT a law as it is along with all the others clearly unconstitutional.
I certainly would not recommend disobedience of any of them because of attitude and nature of law enforcement of all shapes and sizes.
...and to those of you who believe in the goodness and mercy of the NRA, I encourage you to study their complicity or lack of in each and every Unconstitutional gun law passed since their beginning in 1871 or so. In my opinion they have grown to be as much a part of the SWAMP as any good Socialist Communist Democrat or RINO.
A clean sweep is not a solution, for just as bureaucratic Government agencies are riddled with swamp creatures, as long as they exist, so too is the NRA. It would not be long after the clean sweep that the evil swamp creatures would once again take over. A growing Government is also the antithesis of Liberty and Freedom.
Even our Congress is subject to the same issues which is why we find ourselves in the quandary we do. Laws against Treason lie dormant when reality is the slightest deviation from Oath of office of those required an oath should bring down the hounds of hell on them for even the thought of not supporting and defending the Constitution.
...and don’t give me that servant of the people line after you have been in office more than eight years. As I see it Senators in today’s world need to be running every two years not six. After all we have deemed them Representatives of the people after the passage of the seventeenth amendment.
Thankfully Rant is at an end!!!!!!!
INTERESTING.
FYI, I am NOT a particular “fan of” The Mattel Special.= When I was first on AD & in an OCONUS area, long ago, our unit still had a FEW NM-grade Garand rifles (supposedly for the use of “Selected Marksmen”) in the arms room & as I was “in charge of” such things, I issued myself an “as new” circa 1956 I-H Garand.
When the US Army DEMANDED that those “obsolete weapons be turned in to the depot” (The Garand Rifles were replaced with Remington Model 700 rifles in .308WCF), I gave up my old rifle “kicking & screaming” & then “issued myself” a Ithaca Model 37 Featherweight riot-gun.
(Note: ImVho, the BEST Garand rifles ever made are the post-Korean War rifles made by H&R & I-H.)
Btw, I’ve “heard”, but CANNOT CONFIRM, that there are a FEW AR-18 rifles that are C&R. = I might buy one of those IF it wasn’t priced really, really, high & had the folding stock.

You will get NO argument from me.
Moreover a careful reading of THE MILLER DECISION of the SCOTUS seems to AGREE with your/my stance on the Second Amendment o the BoR.
(While the SCOTUS found that it was “unreasonable” for the central government to REQUIRE “members of the militia to appear for duty with weapons” of such price that an ordinary citizen would NOT likely possess such an item, IF the militia actually possesses such “unusual items”, that the member(s) MAY be ordered to duty WITH those pieces of equipment. = MILLER indicates that IF the militia is ordered to duty & NEEDS those “unusual items” that the central government will provide such items to the militia formations.)

Heh.
I wonder how many people know that it’s possible to own and operate artillery in the US?

M-60 is my personal fav....
I don't know how may AR-18s are on the National Registry, but I do know there are a few. They come up at the auctions every once in a while.
I do know that the Armalite-produced semi-auto only AR-180 were manufactured between 1969 and 1972, so the '69 and '70 guns are C&R eligible now, with the remainder to come online by 2022.
Howa AR-180s have later manufacture dates (1970-74,) so they will become C&R eligible in the next few years.
THANK YOU. = I reasonably sure that I hadn’t lost my mind & remembered correctly.

THANK YOU. = I was reasonably sure that I hadn’t lost my mind completely & remembered correctly.
I’ve wanted a folding-stock AR-18 since I saw one OCONUS, that was taken off of the corpse of a “middle to high ranking” narcotrafficante. = It had an about 16” barrel & with the butt-stock folded, the AR-18 would fit neatly into a “one suiter” Samsonite suitcase.
