Way to go Caliga! About time, what with your bibles and all, the guns were a natural part of that accoutrement!     ;)

Cal, a Mosin-Nagant will cost you less than a hundred.

Those are cool since on most guns the little notches some one carves into the stock signify each person the holder of the rifle killed.  With a Mosin each notch signifies each Russian who was killed carrying this particular firearm.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Aren't those rifles more than a century old?

There were tons of them made in WWII.

Mauser 98K's are cheap to because there are a ton of them out there.

Nah, the M1 is from WWII or later.  Not sure about the Enfield.  My grandpa gave them to my dad in the late 1950s.

Actually, I kinda want to get an Arisaka 98 because I already have a Model 98 samurai bayonet.  :cool:

M1 is from 1936 I believe.  Enfield is pre-WWI.  1912 maybe.  Of course the version you probably have seen is one of the many updates.  Some of the Enfields were in American service as the M1917 (and were badly recalibured for American 30.06).  Half the AEF was armed with such weapons.

I was talking about Mosin-Nagant.  Of course M1 is newer, it's not even bolt-action.

Trolling Cal:

Quote from: 2nd AmendmentA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Always remember that it's a collective right, not an individual freedom.  Also, note that the right to an armory is placed immediately below the federal requirement that the government provide housing for soldiers. :contract:

That's so two years ago.  :P
