Its like people say, where more guns are around, people are more polite...
the thing about guns is that they are democratic. it used to be the case that a person, through some accident of nature, could be physically stronger than other people and could take their property. now with guns, everyone has approximately the same physical power
Just got the public notary for my CMP Garand, just need to send in the order now.
There’s nothing like the feeling of getting your freedom gats *from the Government*
My solution Stefan is to have everyone take zero level firearm safety courses so they understand that firearms are tools and not magic death ray machines.
Gun safety and introductory courses should be a staple portion of any high school curriculum.
Teach the kids even earlier than that. Level zero is "This is the muzzle, don't point it at people. This is the trigger, don't touch it until you are ready to shoot."
By high school they should have a level 2 training.
Be able to identify most common firearms and clear them for inspection.
I agree with that
@garonedin CMP garand? Nice. What condition? When I start my new job I want to get one in service grade condition
Yeah, Service Grade.
Cool
CMP sells M1911s too but they cost more than the garands and from what i've heard have had spotty condition
Best part is; I can in theory get it and just start shooting
because I got like... 200 rounds of Ethiopian Surplus fuddy aught six on en bloc clips
It came on the clips?
yes
in bandolier belts
in an m1 ammo can
all
for roughly $200
Oof
That's actually fairly good for non-corrosive surplus, plus clips, plus ammo can
M1 garands are expensive to feed, when i get mine i probably wont shoot it much but it's a good collector piece
You also have to get garand safe ammo or an adjustable gas plug for modern loads
But yours is surplus so it should be safe
yeah, loaded to m2 ball specs
the next purchase is kinda a toss up between a ported gas plug or a slant flash can for my AR-15 to make it look like a las-gun
I got into guns recently so i'm trying to build up my collection, get milsurp, "assault weapons", and "high capacity" magazines first
The status of milsurp in this country sucks, damn import laws
yeah.
I kinda got my collection mostly filled out. Couple of ARs, Beginner Rifles, a couple of Milsurps
Canadians can get russian SKSes for $300 cad and buy norinco guns, russian SKSes in the US are $600-700
THough now that I think about
I lack Auto-loading shotguns, any handguns, any precision rifles, any pistol caliber carbines
yeah
Canadians get all the fun surplus russian stuff now
Canada has great import laws, unfortunately limited to 5 round mags on semi auto rifles though
at least for cheap
yeah, though I think m1 garands are an exception
because canadian designed
I have a budget ar, a t/cr22(10/22 clone), and a mosin nagant carbine(m38)
