Have two, had four of the other ones. I see Arthur is doing well for himself these days. This list is several years old. He posted it on Ted Nugent’s forum before it became a pay site. He took a few hits for excluding the Garand and the Thompson from the list. It also lacks a 585 Nyati, which is beyond question the manliest caliber ever devised for a shoulder fired weapon.
Personally, I would have omitted the Schmidt - Rubin for the F.A.L.

Will do. Hope you are having a Merry Christmas. Sitting here with the lights flashing on my little tree.
parsy, who is feeling all warm and mellow. Well, maybe a little chilly and mellow. And winsome.

Leave out the M44 and put in an M1 Garand.

Sounds like a good book, I had planned on writing a book on Hitler so I bought up a lot of old books on him. Surprising how much was known so early.
parsy, who may write it yet since he will be twiddling his thumbs for about two years or so

Perfectly legal as long as it’s registered. Send form 1 off to BATFE with the specifications and the money, then get out your hacksaw when the form comes back with the stamp. AFAIK, it’s legal in your state.

I completely agree with the assessment of the SMLE. I purchased an undisclosed number of them (in .308) a while back for about $115 each. Cleaned ‘em up, zeroed ‘em, gave away a couple and dispersed the rest to other locations. It’s the rifle you use to get another rifle.

I also had one of these to go with my .45-70 Revolver... also neat and fun to shoot, a bolt action rifle, with a tubular magazine and a hammer, that loaded through the butt plate:
1880 Remington Keene .45-70 Carbine
Mine was nickel plated with Indian Police markings, very rare. I bought it from The Bandito Gun Shop in Weimar, CA, on Interstate 80, just east of Auburn. I paid about $450 for it in the mid 1970s. Mine was really a pristine gun.

I think it's safe to substitute almost any 12-gauge riot gun for the 870. I'll put my Winchester 1300 up against any Mossberg or Remington out there for reliability, durability and accuracy.
If you allow that substitution, substitute the full length Mosin-Nagant 91-30 for the M44 carbine, and replace that pantywaist AR-15/M-16 mouse gun with the ballsy FN-FAL, I'd have 6 of 10. But I'd have to say my vote for "manliest" firearm ever has to be the M-1 Garand. I hope to acquire one next year.
Have a Merry CHRISTmas and a blasty New Year!

Nice sawed off but very illegal Not if you have the right tax stamp...;) Heck, you can even get this VERY manly pistol:
Nothing like a pump action 12 gauge pistol on your hip! But for MANLIEST firearm (that can be carried by a single man), I'd nominate the Anzio Ironworks magazine fed 20mm rifle:
Nothing like a 5000 yard effective range for your pistol, and 1500 grains of goodness flying along at 3400 feet per second, yielding nearly 40,000 lb-ft of force (about 40 times the muzzle energy of a 44 Magnum).
