I don't really think it would be useful, but I think the closest you could come (excluding pistol versions of rifles like the ar-15) would be something like a Glock 20 racegun with a 6" barrel.

I vote for a buckmark (not the camper model) or a ruger Mark II depending on which grip angle you like better. I haven't been that impressed with the 22A.

I've always wondered if it would be possible to angle the cartridges in a magazine upwards. This would let you fit longer rounds inside a shorter magwell. You wouldn't be able to fit as many obviously.

I think the G20's barrel is 4.6"

I don't think that is actually American made. Just imported and sporterized commercially.

Check out SportingArms.com in Lewisville. They are $25, and a pleasure to do business with.

I don't understand that argument at all Baba Louie. The 2nd amendment never says anything about "Free States" I have no idea how he inserted that phrase into the discussion. The 2nd amendment just says " the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Not the rights of...

I've heard rumors about a 10mm cartidge necked down to .30 called .30 Armscor. I haven't seen too much in the way of detail, but it should be a screamer.

I think they are more appropriate for fixed position shooting than walk about shooting like you are talking about. A thumbhole stock will work just fine for that duty, and if you like the ergonomics get it anyway. That being said, if you like the Military style ergonomics, and are getting 223...

I'm happy shooting my FALs left handed with no mods.

I like my G20 a lot. I have never heard anything negative said about it its longevity even with super hot loads. You can also buy conversion barrels in .40 that let you shoot cheaper and more available ammo. They only cost $100-$150, and will pay for themselves in a hurry if you don't...

I think you will find a lot of places asking more for that barrel.

I've openly carried in Santa Fe quite a number of times. Very rarely did anyone even comment. Do keep in mind however, that it is a felony to carry a gun anywhere liquor is sold. In NM, this is just about everywhere. Gas stations, many walmarts, and virtually all restaraunts are strictly verboten.

There are more than a few people reporting loads exceeding 1000 ft lbs with 10mm through a 6 inch barrel. Of course, that is with lighter bullets that wouldn't be appropriate for bear.

I think it will depend a lot on the child's size and experience, but also on the specific gun. Some guns will recoil much more heavily than others with the same caliber. This effect can be magnified greatly by a poor stock fit. That being said there is no reason at all that most 15 year olds...
