Well, yes less than a Prius, but real heavy on a night patrol back in
1963 when my Ranger buddy and I were in Ranger school at Fort Benning, Dehlonga and in the FL swamps.
We referred to it as the M14 Limb Stripper cause we used it every mission to slash our way through the kudzu and obstacles...
Hard to choose just one:
1) Springfield Armory M1D (Sniper version built for action in Korea, but mine never got there). Pristine, complete with all the accessories and under market IMO at $3275.
2) A Winchester Model 52C that reminds me of my "poorer than a church mouse" days while...
M1 Garand
Thanks Ray! Yes I am actively selling most of my inventory due to a life threatening disease that I've been dealing with for the past 3 years...it's a slow mover similar to cancer and there is no cure. I take a powerful med to
slow its spread in my lungs. We think my IPF is...
I think your wife would love the S&W Model 37. The 37s are ideal for carry and they pack the punch one needs.
I have four and all of them are For Sale, due to a major health issue that I am dealing with these days. Priced from $525 to $725.

Yeah, ya can figure out real fast where I'm coming from as I lie here dying a slow death likely due (that's what my pulmonologist thinks) to exposure to Agent Orange from my two aviator flight tours in Vietnam...'66-67 and '69-70.
I went over to that ******** in good faith both times and...
And I lie here and don't give a royal fk...as we had plans to have unassed Laurel this past summer...only to have been stalled by a significant worsening of my Agent Orange induced Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (two flying tours in Vietnam).
The turds can pass all the restrictions they care...
Lots of great advice posted here. I have been a member of three
Clubs at AGC, Marriottsville, Md and happy with all of them. Moved
around a bit to find at better fit when competing in the AGC
High Power League. Found these Clubs outstanding in all respects:
1))) Maryland Rifle Club...Est...
Taurus Judge, Colt King Cobra and a National Postal Meter M1 Carbine with an assortment of Shot or Ball available in 15 round mags.
I am not familiar with OP's pieces, but his question is good nonetheless.
If I ever have to defend the "ranch," I want the fr-g perp down, scared shitless or...
To date and not to be challenged any time soon, a 1943 UNION SWITCH AND SIGNAL at $1,675 back in 2009 from Al R. at The Gun Rack, Burtonsville and subsequently a victum of Md SB 281
in June 2014.
Switched out the target sights mounted on the original slide and with
that upgrade and some...
.22 LR Precision Matches
Interested, but at 77 years and bedridden with an incurable lung disease that treats me poorly, I can no longer get to the firing line.
However, a few years ago I won a .22 only match at the 200 yard AGC range on Marriottsville Road, Baltimore county. I shot an...
I have shot both rifles for years and have competed with them at Camp Perry. The M1 Garand is by
far the better balanced rifle and that alone allows one to attain a better "hold" in any position, and
especially offhand, the most difficult to master.
I learned to compete with...
Garand
A bit late to posting on OP question, but here is some advice from someone old, 77, and knowledgeable and competent with the Garand. I have owned more than 130 of them since getting my first in 2002. I then started to collect them and, frankly, it got out of hand and the inventory...
Dead center, James! My Sister in Law and husband #1 (she's living with #3 presently) made their way from CA to Yakima, WA 25-30 years ago.
He represented himself as an ordained Presby preacher man, and we later learned that he had a record; eventually they divorced and both remained in the...
This is perfect advice...follow it and your flinching should go away.
When introducing newbies, especially women of all ages and most young
kids, we always start em out with the .22lr or a piece that will not
intimidate them.
Been involved in the shooting sports since 1952 and still get a kick...
Glad to have you on board! Welcome from one of the many armpits in the Corridor...LaurHell, Md 20707. Your expertise is sorely needed.

US Army Retired--1984
Maybe I can be of help to OP. My Ranger buddy and I recently purchased a collection of ten (10) USGI issue, CMP released and "papered" M1 Carbines from a seller in AZ. Six of those rifles were sold this past month and we have four (4) available for sale: a Winchester, an Inland, a Saginaw...
Recommend you travel on down to Tyler Firearms in Halethorpe and talk with owner Chuck. He can d it all for you at his one stop HQL class that is fairly priced for what ya get...410-921-6393. A Veteran owned operation that can handle your training, buying, consigning and transfer needs...
She can borrow a set from our former Illegal neighbors from El Salvadore, 2007-09, who always had one valid plate to stick on the "car of the day" as they headed off to work. Those worthless turds who rented 3 0f 6 house on Kenny Ct haunted us for 2 years, but not without paying a price...
