Black rifle thread

As a Brit, I find that really startling - outside of a military armoury, you just don't see that many firearms in one place. I think you would struggle to buy a gun safe big enough in the UK!

In Every Englishman's closet.

Keep in mind, You only wield one at a time, so just because you have 20 doesn't make you more threatening. Beware the man with one gun, as he likely know how to use it.

I've actually started to grow a bit fond of the older rifles myself. Maybe its the process or simply how unique they are now... But what always gets me is when you pick up the M1 and then pick up say my SBR Vector and the weight difference lol.... Those men of the past hauled around a tree with them....

I also thought this was about the new coffee places popping up black rifle coffee. LOL

I just trained my youngest daughter how to shoot the garand last year. She’s pretty much burned her way thru my store of ww2 ammo, and is eyeing the Korean. She loves that rifle.

It depends on how old you are. That was cutting edge in it’s it’s day. To me, this one is old school.

Classic old school there. With original box and papers probably worth a good bit. Certainly highly desirable in my area.

I built that out of parts. OE parts, mostly. The receiver is later 80’s LEO, but still colt. Ya don’t run into surplus like ya used to. Like fj60’s, I wish ida bought a slew when the supply was cheap and infinite.

That might be my age, It is hard to tell in the light whether those are early semi gloss handgaurds (1960-1967) or later matte handgaurds (1967-1984ish). Nice.

I like the early 60's glossy Bakelite.

Now imagine the oppressor having next generation stuff, and organized. It's over, johnny. Owning a rifle for revolution is moot.

Considering that no one has been able to conquer a bunch of goat farmers wearing sandals (Afganistan), I am inclined to believe anything is possible

My SP1 was one of the last ('83/'84) with round handgaurds. I was minding my own business hanging out with my favorite gun store owner when one walked in the door. My blue state had just restricted gun stores from buying and selling black rifles without an "assault weapons license" whatever that means so the store owner turned him away. A short walk around the corner and $600 later it went to a new home.
