True battle rifle (Ishapore .308)

Hazcat,
Don’t want to be too picky but you mentioned an AR15 as an assault rifle . . . hate to split hairs but generally the Shooting Industry defines an assault rifle having full-auto capabilities (there are other criteria but this is the one that is the main tipping point). The Industry prefers the term semi-auto sporting rifle. We have to be careful not to play into the liberal media’ false definitions

I am too picky.    The first AR-15s were select-fire assault rifles, but I see your point. I sometimes call the semi-auto versions of assault rifles "militia rifles" and think every American should own at least one. I prefer AR-15s but will likely get an AK-47 type some day. These rifles are definately not Main Battle Rifles in either select fire or semi-auto form.

I too am picky and I did not mention AR15 in my post.  It says "AK, M15 (typo should be M14) and M16", no mention of AR15.

Since we're being picky, the M14 is a battle rifle, not an assault rifle, since it uses a high-power rifle cartridge like the Ishy, not an intermediate sized cartridge like an M16.

But it's a select fire, that's why I put it with assault fifle.

Big brown envelope arrived today from ATF.  Looked back, and it was the 22nd when I requested, postage meter stamp is 24th, and I picked it up today.  It might have been here on Saturday, but I didn't pick the mail up then. 

Tonight will be filling out forms, and back to the feds tomorrow.  Most of this stuff looks just like what you fill out to buy a gun.  Should be a cake walk, but I think I'll double check the instructions anyway (really tough being of the male persuasion).

scroll to the bottom and read the last post.  It explains it real well.

It also has a list of Milsurp / C&R dealers.

Thanks Haz!

Nice site.

  Rat-en-fratten Damn Sox !  Why can't they just lay down and die so we can fly to Tampa.  Now it looks like we gotta go to Chi Town first (hopefully)
