Is this a limited edition commemorative model? Very nice indeed.

Saiga 308 - Which I converted.

Winchester Mod 70 Super in 26-06. Then put on a Nikon Monarch 4--6x50 BDC

I hadn't bought anything new for a few years but last week I bought a 686-5 2.5" from a fellow member here. A few days later I was in one of the LGS looking at shotguns but found a great deal on a NIB FNP 45 instead and I couldn't resist. I've wanted one of those for years! Needless to say, it was a great week.

Good guess, but almost everybody says that Service Grades have been cleaned out.

A friend who still has contacts on a military rifle team seems to believe that the CMP has a large number of them, but but need a good bit of time for the detailed evaluations.

Western Field model 32 single shot.

I saw your post over in rifle country--I have a few .22 rifles but I really like the furniture on your WF model 32. Is that made by Mossberg?

I have been researching .22lr accuracy and need to see if the bolt-action is indeed more accurate than say a 10/22 or even stock Marlin 60.

last rifle

A Merkel Helix in 308

A Winchester 1886 Deluxe 45-70 in 95%. Set me back a bit, but the price was right!

I've got a CMMG in 300 BLK on order and a RRA 458 SOCOM upper on order. I'm guessing it's going to be another month or so before either of them arrives. I hate waiting.

Congrats on a very nice collection piece! I am indeed sure that as you said it 'set you back'--I know the 'ballpark' and the tickets are definitely too high for my admission.

How about a pic?

Colt delta elite new model 10 mm mark Ivey YES!

Finally got my shiny new lovely Kel-Tec RFB......7.62 NATO bullpup, 18.5" barrel in a 26.5" package...considering I live in New Jersey a minor miracle in it's own right.

Ask and ye shall receive.....cheap and cheerful NC sight on it at the moment, I have a Millet 1-4 DMS on order which will be a better fit for me.

Unthreaded barrel, no flash hider/muzzle brake which is how I got it into NJ. The nice people at Kel-Tec worked with me for several months and sprang me one of their Canadian build models.....officially this is .308 not a 7.62....

Given that a brake or flash suppressor deflects gas and blast back towards the shooter, it may be just as well that you didn't get one.
I've read where people who shot neutered ARs reported less perceived report than with rifles equipped with the things.
Perceptions, of course, can vary widely.

If not an M1, what'll it be?

Sounds as if I need to bump a Garand up a little higher on my list if I aim to get a decent price on one.

Brakes direct gases back, resulting in pressure being directed towards the shooter (thus creating greater perceived noise and an increase in blast), however a flash suppressor does not, and can sometimes have the opposite effect. This aspect, as well as the obvious (reducing the flash signature), makes the addition a desirable feature for most folks, albeit a moot point for folks residing in NJ and the like.

Stevens 315 SxS, Ruger Blackhawk, Mauser C96 - I'm on a bit of a retro kick. All that's missing is another milsurp boltie.

1959 Marlin 336 in 30-30. Man do I love it.

Marlin 444

Sako TRG-22 .308

Just finished mounting the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 today. Can't wait to get to the range.

Glock 30

I just picked up a couple of 30 year old Ruger .357 revolvers. A Ruger 2.75" Speed Six with the original box and papers, also a Security Six with a 4" barrel.

LNIB Glock 22 Gen 4 from a buddy for $175

A SA XD-45c on Tuesday.
