good weapon, Steph. More accurate than the AK and more stopping power than the 16. I bleieve the bolt stays open when you run out, so watch the fingers. :wink:

Down in Texas, in places like Houston, a lot of the shootin is done on Fri and Sat nights. And real men don't need no range to do their shootin, cuttin neither. There really is a place named Cut N Shoot not far north of Houston.

Hmmm..SOME of us don't! :wink:

..and it's shipped to your home! :D ).


Aww, well thanks.... :oops: :D

Yeah. I think we're going to do a little investigating today. I saw the M-1 for the first time yesterday at the local gun show. Sort of fell in love with it. I love the dark walnut stock on it.

Wow! :shock: That's kinda cool. I don't know of anything like that out here.
