They thought about making it the Super Soaker, but, you know, water restrictions.
Some big money for some of those guns. Cheapest about $500.00 to upwards of $20,000.
It is ‘very meet and right’ (liturgical) that one of these honor John Moses Browning, the genius behind so very many iconic firearms. The M1911 is and, in my opinion, will ever be a ‘form-factor’ for semi-auto handguns.
The Barrett M82/M107.........a bad mofo that’s been splattering oblivious muslim terrorists since 1992.
North Dakota would have one, but the Chamber of Commerce there won’t permit Governor Noem to support it.
I don’t know if you could call the Hall rifle a “standard” of the Civil War. Yes, some were used, but it was older, the breech leaked, and in terms of numbers, didn’t come close to the number of Springfield’s and Enfields and other types.
I think the walker colt was the one Eastwood had in josey wales.
I’ve been to the John M. Browning museum here in Ogden many times. It’s chock-full of the rifles, pistols, shotguns and machine guns he designed, with many being early prototypes.
The man was clearly the most successful and prolific firearms designer in history.
Tennessee wins. :)
Florida should adopt the AR-15 or the M2HB for border security duty.
Mississippi should have the historical M1841 rifle gleaned from the German Jaeger....used by Jefferson Davis troops in tne Mexican war .....an early rifle while most troops still used muskets
Or the 870 for duck hunting lore
Or the marlin 30-30 which used to be the affordable deer rifle
Browning was a Morman and his first gun shop was in Navoo, IL before he headed west to Utah. His Navoo gun shop is now a museum. But be aware that if you visit it, you will be getting calls asking if you are interested in joining the Morman church. They must have been able to use my license plate to look me up.
