I need to get some real guns. All I own are:
the worst M1911 clone Auto Ordnance could excrete from its foul, union-run dungeons,
a sawed off Mosinka-Dubinka (1959 Bulgarian attempt at making low-cost billyclubs for concentration camp guards) that probably shoots better if you put the ammo in backwards,
a Marlin 3000 (a 336 made for big box stores without any of that fancy nonsense such as accuracy or production quality) complete with a Kmart scope,
a Czech autojammer in Tokarev caliber that loves to drop the hammer when I put on the safety, and separate into two components whenever I put it in the holster,
and a Ruger 10/22 that was reworked by an amateur gunsmith to ensure removal of what little accuracy or quality Ruger may have accidentally installed.
I'm praying for a break in so that I can write them all off on my insurance and buy some Colts, Remingtons, and Henrys.

Congrats! Now go get a pistol and a carry license. Its easy and another statement to our want to be rules! Georgia has pretty good gun laws. A few still need to be changed but overall not bad.
I LOVE it here!

That's a beauty! Worth every penny too. Mine was the successor to that one. The 144LS had a straight bolt handle, Lyman sights, and an adjustable fore end stop. The stock was American walnut. The Mossberg line of my day was largely overlooked by 3-position small bore competitors, but with a total cost of around $50 I could hold my own in rifle matches with nationally ranked teams. No, hooked butt plates, diopters, or fancy gew-gaws or doo-dads. It was simply a finely made rifle with iron peep sights. You became a marksman by learning its strengths and weakness; becoming intimately familiar with its trigger pull; learned to time the shot between heart beats. That rifle could group ten rounds into an area the size of shirt button. I sold it for $75. Yes it still hurts whenever I think about that.

Congrats on finally experiencing a relatively FREE part of the country. I would not do well in peoples’ republic states like Mass or Kalifornia. And the thugocracy which runs those states would not have much fun trying to take my guns from me.

How could anyone ruin a Ruger 10/22? I have one that’s 35 years old (no plastic parts) and it still works great. Thinking about getting a target barrel for it though.

Call your local PD and see who or where the next gun “buy-back” is happening.

"learned to time the shot between heart beats" I haven't heard that in ages! Who was your coach?
To: struwwelpeter
Maybe you can make a trade at your gun show or through private parties to get one quality firearm. Maybe not a kimber or Colt, but something like a newer 10-22 or Rossi?
One that you can trust to fire beats several that you can’t.
And if you’re re building your collection, consider consolodating calibers, too.
I decided that I didn’t really need 9mm or .40 cal so I traded/sold them off so I had fewer calibers to keep stocked.
That was, of course, before the tragic incident where I lost all my equipment in a boating accident.

Thanks, sounds like a good idea. Especially consolidating calibers.

When I bought my mini-14, I bought a case of .223 for $80. Now that case sells for $450I have the ranch rifle. I wanted a mini-14 but the seller talked me into the mini-30, I think they call it. Ammo is pretty cheap if you get the Russian made stuff. Someone posted it's $240 a case.
If the ammo is good enough for the red army, I suppose it's mostly ok...
