If You Could Only Have 5 More...

[UWone77]

The looming ban in my state... should be Wed/Thurs by the time it comes into law, got me thinking. If I could buy only 5 more guns before the law takes effect.

Even though I technically have a few more days to buy additional weapons, lowers, etc... I don't plan on it. I've already burned through a ton of cash picking up some last minute additions (HK SP5K, B&T APC223, Zenith MP5, Riley Defense AK, Sig Spear LT, massive amount of AR parts, etc) There are a few more I was thinking about but I didn't get around to. It'll have to wait until I own another house in another state. So here's my list if I had to buy 5 more weapons before a ban. No particular order.

1. HK53 or clone
2. AK in 7.62x39 SBR
3. Sig Sauer Spear LT 11" SBR (I snagged a 16" before the deadline)
4. M1 Garand
5. Benelli M4

What's left on your want list?

[TheRifleman]

Honestly I am fine without however if the right deal came along that I could fund without question, then it would be in no particular order at all:

G21 Gen 5 MOS
G17 Gen 5 MOS
G19 Gen 5 MOS
SA 1911 Professional Light Rail 9x19
SA Helion
FCD LRF (SOLGW) lower receiver
Colt Junior 25 ACP
Colt 6920
Colt 6720
Colt M16A1 Retro Reissue
Colt XM177E2 Retro Carbine
FN 15 Military Collector
S&W M&P9 2.0 Compact
FAL


Definitely more than 5 there but whatevs [BD]

[BoilerUp]

In the same boat.

My wish list is:

Scorpion
X95
FAL
Sig 550

i don't need any of those and would likely hardly ever shoot them if I had them, which is why I don't have them, but they are ones that I suspect i would eventually pick up. Of course, I'd also like to have an M87, M249S, and M240.

I'm not positive, but I think you'll still be able to get that M1 Garand. And, you will still be able to get a Benelli M4 if you choose a standard (no pistol grip, not collapsible) stock.

[TheRifleman]

I forgot about the FAL. It was the one gun I could not find to help cross a gun to shoot bucket list for my departed seabee vet friend, Mike.

Fuck cancer, and even if I have to do it by proxy, I'm going to get one or try to find an owner willing to let me shoot theirs at least.

The Garand is seriously on the ban list?

[gatordev]

I'm just trying to figure out how UW does NOT have a Garand.

Why do you hate America?

LOL... dude you got me. It was always on the list of stuff to get, but I figured who's going to ban a Garand?!?

[Stone]

The only thing I may be missing at this point is a shotgun. M4 or 1301 Tactical would be my choice but even though I have been mulling this one over for a few years I am having a hard time convincing myself that a shotgun is better than my SBR or will do something much better. I have actually been thinning the herd a little and doing individual rifle upgrades as needed. Training and skills have been put to the top of the list. If I had your gun room UW, I would probably get shot in the face in a bad situation trying to figure out which firearm I was going to grab... Hahahaha... So here is my list: 1. Training/skills 2. Mindset 3. Have a plan, A-B-C 4. Keep it simple and effective 5. Stay frosty: I know my list isnt actual firearms but when more government over reach is loomimg I dont necessarily beleive more firearms will serve me well. Im not trying to be a thread crapper but its just where I am at this point in my life...

[BoilerUp]

Stone that's kind of where my mind was going a year or two ago as my gun safe was starting to overflow. Yet, when faced with the prospect of "now or never" you start asking yourself "what will I kick myself for in 10 years?". I remember the days of wood crates full of Chinese AKs for $350 each.

Speaking of shotguns, the Berretta A300 patrol is making waves for a great semi-auto shotgun that comes in under a grand.

UW, I read HB1240 again and I don't think the Garand get's roped into it. It's not on the by-name list and general definition has a detachable magazine as the baseline feature AND one of the other features, or a fixed mag that holds greater than 10 rounds. So, you can get your CMP on.

[Uffdaphil]

I only have three wants left.

A third HK VP9, used and cheap, for my spare long slide.
A quality 16-18” rifle gas match .308 AR barrel to replace the current Faxon.
And if gold goes to $3K and my stocks quadruple, A Triji Snipe-IR thermal clip-on

Soon all these can be a reality because I just sold my house and I'm moving to South Carolina in July.

Dude congrats man! Good to see you bail out of NY. I love upstate, but like most blue states, you're controlled by 1 city.

[Stone]

Congrats on finally getting out of that state!! Its been a long time coming to say the least.

Congrats! We have people moving here that went out and bought FJB t-shirts and hats and wear them around town for the first couple of weeks.

Holler at your boy lol

What part

I met and became good friends with a guy who moved here from San Diego about ten years ago or so. Was showing him the ropes at the range one day as far as ARs go, and during group/zero time on the bench, he was bound and determined to use 30rd mags despite a short mag being more convenient….he could finally use one and by god he was gonna do it.

Woof! Moving's gonna suck moist balls in July, but at least you'll be out of that socialist hellhole!!!

Robinson XCR-L Standard Short Gas System 5.56. or 6.8
Mildly interested in the MCX Spear LT if the cost comes down some
Not really worried (Yet).

People make fun of Ohio, but aside from the janky suppressor loophole, we're as free as Texas without the leaky border issue, plus we have that big puddle to keep the cannuckdians from trying to sample our freedom.

[Tyrannosaur]

Sorry been busy house sold just bought a house in Myrtle Beach Carolina Forest area. Pretty psyched. Once I get there I'm doing a 30 round mag dump because it's been since 2013 I could drop a magazine. I can't wait to get out of here NY is a shithole. Love it here in upstate but the city is poison and it's spreading quickly

[Stone]

Only one thing left to do, take off runnin and dont look back!

[Joelski]

Other than heat and 'insects" you can literally spear with a stick, it'll be awesome! [:D]

Seriously, I liked NC well enough to be fine with moving there someday. I have family in JAX and Cocoa Beach, but that's a whole other range on the thermostat. I've lived in heat (OK close to TX), but I'm not a fan and I can take or leave the ocean. Occasional visits to gorge on crustaceans suits me fine.

Ohio is getting aggressive on recruiting public safety. Lateral transfers are the big thing now. The city FD is getting big city guys looking to run less calls. Our last Civil Service exam netted 4 eligible guys out of 20-ish applicants.

OSP is hiring guys that have their POTA and 2 years into an accelerated academy (12 weeks vs. 6 months). That's a pretty good deal for young, village deputies that couldn't score well 3 years ago. You still have to pass their PT exam and all the civil service stuff like psyche eval and lie detector test, but it shows that far fewer people are wanting to be involved in law enforcement and public safety (for now).

The board I sit on vets things like 50% discount on property taxes, free license plates and CCL, any perks we can think of to lure both paid, and volunteer Public Safety personnel.

I wonder what the public safety model will look like in 5-10 years, and if there will even be one if we achieve 3rd world status by then. This shortage isn't helping that trend!

Carolina Forest is close to Conway, right?

[Jerry R]

At my age [BD] Not a lot left to "want". Just ordered what may be my last one [:D] ... S&W M&P 2.0 Metal Competitor model. We'll see how it does on The Dueling Tree at the fall shoot. Pix when it arrives.

I know, MB because the shop I'll be working at is there. I tattoo so I need lots of people. My house is in Conway so I'm away enough from the insanity
