Haz,  Didn't the Winchester 1895 have an attached box magazine and come in 30.06 as well as other calibers?

I think Savaga made a 99 variation in .308.

Forgot about those Marlin 39s in .22.

So many guns, so little money. :'(

I think I'm going to Midwest Gun Exchange this weelend.  Damn AC is out at home and it's 90 degrees out. :(  Repair guys can't get here till Saturday.  AC is 40 years old and probably needs to be replaced, so that is why I say might go to MGE.  It's over the border, but about a 45 minute drive.  Got a great deal last fall on mr RRA AR carbine last fall just before the election.

Wolfe if any of the Benchmades are auto knives pick me up a couple (no kidding).  If it is the Pika at $20 I'll take three, If it is the Blackwater at $50 I'll take two , If BOTH are auto (or spring assist) get two of each.

PM me for money.
All tipoes and misspelings are copi-righted.  Pleeze do not reuse without ritten persimmons  :D

HazTimothy etc
If you're still here I need help quick.
They will sell that DPMS Ar Sportical for $569, $600 with three mag pull 30rnd. My other alternative is an AK Gp 1975 with 4 hungarian mags for the same dollar, but I have to act quicly. I really have little preference between Aks and Ars, more short range stopping power vs better accuracy.It all comes out in the wash. The DPMS does not have a forward assist (which I never used anyway in the army) no dust cover (maybe, but probably not an issue) and no brass deflector. Beyond that its mil spec with 4 stock and 16 inch barrel (not chrome lined, but neither is the AK). Please help a brother out!

Sorry FQ, though I know what an AK and and AR are, other than pressing a trigger, don't know anything more than that...

 The Savage 99 did indeed come in 308, in fact I believe it was the first lever action chambered in that caliber. I do not think the Winchester 1895 was chambered in .308 because it was out of production before .308 was developed I know they were offered in 45/70, The reproductions being sold now might be, The Browning BLR may have been offered in .308 as they also had a box magazine.

Get the AR while it may not be as idiot proof as an AK brass cased ammo is more common, AK is almost all imported steel cased, can't reload it and Customs could cut off supply completely.
Besides, the AR has more after market accessories and is simple to change calibers also it and  the 5.56 cartridge are capable of better accuracy.

Hi FQ,

The Pika II is part of Benchmades Red Class (The Red Class is their lowest end followed by Blue Class, Black Class and Gold Class at the top). It is a standard lock back with a 9Cr13 stainless blade and molded thermoplastic handle. It is made in China. It is a good knife for the price.

The Blackwater shown is discontinued. It is part of their Blue class and has one of their very good 154cm stainless blades (The Blackwater shown has the black titanium carbo-nitride coating) It uses Benchmade's patented axis locking mechanism (button seen on the handle). It is made in the USA and is excellently priced. Neither are assisted openers or autos.  Both knives shown have partially serrated blades. Benchmade makes excellent knives and they do have an excellent selection of autos.

FQ,

I back up Tom on this.  Get the AR.  After market is easy, just a more 'friendly' platform for parts, ammo, mags, etc.

You can have one "GUN" with uppers for several calibers, carbine or longrange set ups and all you have to do is pop 2 push pins.
