Red, you man is one lucky fella!

Was down at Gander Mountain last week. Looked at one with a black synthetic stock. The price tag was $1,999. My wife would have divorced me if I would have come home with it.  ;) She knows the M1A is one of my dream rifles.

Red, if you ever grow tired of your guy and dump him and go looking for someone better, can I have the M1A?   ;D ;D

He's been a very good guy lately and he deserves it. It worked out for me too ya know, it was cheaper than the 50, and he had a perpetual hard on for a week after we ordered it!    ;D ;D ;D

Are you M'ette's sister?  I've heard that Marshal is still trying to figure out what that strange blue powder on his oatmeal is all about  ::)

Where are the range reports?

Let's ask Chopper:

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat  >:(

We had our guns out in the freezing rain and sleet today and had a blast!

I suggest you send him and his Christmas present to the real frozen north, and we will teach him how to use it.

I'll second that!  I've gone to the range and shovel my way to the target area!

Freezing rain?

I've gone shooting at -10. Make sure if you use lube on your gun that it is DRY lube otherwise it will at best be sluggish enough to cause failures to eject, if it doesn't lock up.

I used to shoot in cold weather when I was young....

But now I don't go to the range if it is below 30  :( :(
