$1000 what would you get?

[sloughfoot]

My first choice would be a S&W Model 41. IMO, the finest 22 pistol ever made.

Second would be a genuine Colt SAA in a real cowboy caliber like 44-40.

The Python suggested earlier would be a good one too, I think.

For AK: I think Mitchell's Mausers has the best K98's on the market.

or ..... get you a basic AR, like a Rock River, and then file your SBR paperwork. so you will have enough money with 1K to buy the rifle and pay the $200 tax.

it will be yours forever (unless you transfer it), then with your own $$ you can pay another stamp and get a suppressor. it will be a downward spiral for your money from there till the day you die, LMAO. but you will have a lot of cool toys

Two of my other lust guns:

Smith & Wesson 686SSR, S&W Model 17. Heck, thinking about it I think I want either of these more than the Para. You should buy one, and tell us all about it

I was looking on mitchells at Mausers and thought that was the way to go but then I read some real bad reviews on another gun forum.

I'm not sure why they would get a bad review. Mine is exactly as promised. There just are not a lot of sources for K98 Mausers anymore as far as I know. Pretty amazing when you think of all the millions that were built.

My first hunting rifle was a K98 that I bought by mail order when I was 14. I think I paid $15 for it plus shipping. That was 1965. It was a LOT rougher than my Mitchell.

Great idea.

S&W 627 PC...the gun in Bloodwork w/ Clint Eastwood!

Without question, get a Colt 1911. Keep it your whole life and you can always pull it out and remember that it was a gift for your graduation.

 

[Fireaxes]

Get a nice full size 1911. Then some custom grips. Throw in a good leather holster too. Never sell or trade it.

All depends on what you already own, and what kind of shooting you are into. Hunting, target, comp etc. I think everyone should have a good HD shotgun. A good center fire rifle, rather it it's a scoped bolt action. Or a semi like an AK/AR style rifle. Also a good remfire .22LR/.22MWR. There are so many to choose from. Take the time, and fondle as many as you can. That should help you decide, what you really want. Happy hunting.

If your looking for WWII, then how about a M1 Garand or 30 cal. carbine. a Springfield M1-A would be my choice of the military rifles.

If you want a Mauser, then wait for the next gun show in your area. There's usually an abundance of them at shows and many can be found for a good price with plenty of 8mm ammo. That way you can see what you are buying.

 

[ak keep the second]

So was your K98 a WWII with the right original markings as promised matching numbers and all? And was the stock refinished and do you know if it was reblued or original? Thanks for you help everyone! I think I've got it down to a Mauser K98 or Colt 1911!

Fighting Pistol $400
Advanced Fighting Pistol. $450

$250 in bullets rounds out the $1000. And then I'd buy however many additional rounds required to take both classes.

Lars, I hate to be the math teacher, but, 400 + 450 = 850, + 250 = 1100..... Just had to do it .....

The next Indy 1500 is June 4-6 Im going to be there as a vender helping out with the Chard Reid for Congress table. I was planning on looking around there but I think your completely right, I always like to handle a firearm before buying it, but the Mitchell mausers look pretty nice and I know what mausers generally feel like. But if I get one I would like it to be with an original scope and I haven't held any of those yet.

After some thought, I would find the best hooker I could buy.

AR or Kimber

We would get along swell.

Though I have a soft spot for K31s. It would seem that milsurp disease keeps black rifle disease in check a little bit.
