300Win,
That has the 16.5 barrel doesn’t it?
Why do they say it must be registered as a handgun?
PS is on my list, but I haven’t even got to shoot one yet. :(
Next though is a Winchester M1 Carbine from CMP. They go on sale in January. You can get one mfg’d by Inland now (for less) but I want the Winnie.

You like that clear mag?Yeah, it's a good magazine. The one in the picture is an airsoft dummy mag that I modified for display purposes. The only real problem with the 50-round mag is that it takes a lot longer to load it than to empty it.

Like Sen. Graham said, I have more shotguns than I need, but fewer shotguns than I want. I just can't let people think that RINO (and probably closet gun-grabber, since he's a RINO) Senator lindsey graham (RINO-SC) said this.
It was, in fact, former senator, SENATOR PHIL GRAMM (R-TX).

If it’s a left-wing think tank, then it’s probably more like 98 guns per 100 people.

The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens
Wrong! All citizens are armed, the rest are subjects.
Wrong again! The rest will be a statistic at the coroner!

Why do they say it must be registered as a handgun?In Michigan, the overall length is two inches too short. You're also in a legal gray area if the folding or telescoping stock on your rifle makes it under 32 inches when shortened.
It took the "shall issue" law to fix the wording in the statute that stated that a handgun could only be legally transported between home and the shooting location. Technically, it was illegal to take the handgun out of the store, or to take it to the police department for registration. The politicians admitted it was "ambiguous", but said they liked it that way.
Congrats on a M1 carbine, another fun weapon. I have only one, and that's because it's an unmodified, as-it-left-the-factory IBM carbine. "Untouched" early carbines are getting scarce. I paid $100 for it 20 years ago.

You should read the Constitution of the United States for the answer. The men that put that document together knew what they were talking about. And that is more than our present congress does.

My Rugers make me all warm and happy inside.
I'm adequately armed with a .44 Mag rifle, and a .357 Mag pistol.
I'll probably buy one more handgun for my lady - .380 perhaps.

The article contradicts itself. In the title it says US has 90 per 100 people. But later on in the text, it says on a per capita basis the US 61 guns per 100 people.
What gives?
To: Sub-Driver
I call this the unofficial national insurance policy- In case there’s an outbreak of “tyrannical government”.
Too bad we don’t have even more citizens who understand this.

I really like 30 carbines, they just feel good and are FUN to shoot.
I have a Universal that I bought new in 74 for 135. I’m thinking of wildcatting it into either a .17 or .22.
The Winnies at CMP are going for 675 and the IBM is 575 so I envey your 100 IBM!
Heck I’ve seen the Universal sell for 350!

I looked all over the house for them to see what brand they were(I can't remember off the top of my head) and can't find them. I gave them to my son and I guess he brought them to his place. Anyhow...I had several of those clear 30 round mags but I had a problem with them when I fully loaded them. Holding twenty to twenty two in them-no problem. Maybe I got a bad batch but it turned me against them.
We're having a hellascious thunderstorm here now so I'm gonna have shut down and look for your response when I can fire this thing back up. lol
