    All around rifle...PEASE HELP

    Forget LRB (go to lrbarms.com) then (apx $2500.00 and up). Find a Springfield Armory on sale or a used one if you don't mind the weight. Honestly though, you'll probably have to add $200-$400 to your $1000 to find a good used one or new one. Deals are out there.

    What caliber(s) should I add to my rifle collection?

    You know, it's almost unamerican not to have some type of M14. .45-70 and .17HMR are my other two suggestions. (Marlin and CZ)

    All around rifle...PEASE HELP

    Trust your gut and get a .308. An M14 is hard to beat but may be a little heavy. I love my LRB. How much to you want to spend?

    My Friends Found a Rifle in the Woods

    Yeah, I'm sure it's just covered in "evidence". Finger prints, rifling, firing pin, extractor, it's all just like it was the last time a little chunk of lead left the barrel.:rolleyes: The only possible thing is the serial # may be to a reported stolen gun, etc. Have the # checked, if not, do...

    Shoot to kill or to stop?

    TWO, CENTER MASS...one to the head. It's training and reflex. Stay calm and fire until stopped, if they die, that's their problem.

    CMI magazine tilt

    Yes, CMI makes M14 mags for our military. I would fire your rifle with the magazine, slow if necessary, and see how it goes from there. You may want to take it apart, just to be sure the guts look OK.

    I have come to the conclusion that I am just not an AR guy.....

    That's why God (and Mr. Garand) invented the M-14

    Using vaseline as a pistol lube??

    Hmmm...I'm not too sure how "runny" Vaseline will get after being exposed to heat from friction due to repeated back and forth cycling ;). But since I've never heard of anyone using it, I'm going to assume that it's not a good substitute for the lubrication of firearms, though probably...

    Dunno

    Well...you don't need to worry about someone entering your house through the floor from a crawl space under your house.:D If you mean bullets bouncing off the foundation, I believe they would probably hit the concrete and fly off into the floor board at the bottom of the wall behind your...

    Common sense from Eowyn (LOTR)

    Very nice. Simple, tasteful, and no muzzle staring in your face. It could almost be used for any style of self defense by changing what she is holding or wearing. Good Job Oleg.
