THE TEN MANLIEST FIREARMS

This was a hard piece to write, because guns by definition are manly, except for Berettas, gold-plated TEC9s, .25 caliber pistols or anything made by the French. To simplify things, I have limited it to modern cartridge firearms a man might, can, and should collect and shoot. There are certainly other manly weapons, and you may have a different list. As long as the list contains nothing French, gold-plated, .25 or with pearl grips (which Patton correctly observed are the mark of a New Orleans pimp), it is a good list.

funny as hell, left out M1A1 Springfield.
Maybe it’s a stealth weapon. Gotta read the instructions.

forget my other post. Now, what were the materials used to mount the scope? It looks like there would be interference and jamming.
Thanks.
I love my M1A Springfield and have it down it down to 3” at 100 yrds, Iron sights. I could do better but am shooting surplus Russian and South African to contain costs.
Shot WinXX and it looked like some improvement.

That must leave a mark on your shoulder and require some Motrin after using. LOL

I just sold the AK-47, so I only have three of them now.
Someday, if I ever move out of Commiefornia, I'll like to get one of those 50 Calibers. That puppy is sweeeeeet!
That being said, my heart still belongs to my Model 29.
It fits my hand like a glove.
MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM Smith and Wesson...

It’s the same M2 since it’s inception a century ago. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the longest running, continuous weapon in the military arsenal. If you have head-space and timing correct, it’s reliable and oh so powerful. Nothing compares in small arms.

Having thought about the question a bit more, I will nominate for the absolute, most 'Manliest Firearm' - any .22 Hornet rifle, in good shooting condition. I've read the Inuit use them to take polar bear (stop & think about that). The Hornet doesn't cost much to reload, which is apparently a concern to many Inuit hunters, and if a smaller cartridge will get the job done, they use it.
(Of course, maybe it's just the man behind the rifle - and my hat's off to those Inuit, and many other riflemen, whom I've never met... ;>)
