Very good!!!!

The blue/casehardened one is a second gen 45 Colt, and the nickel is a 22/22 mag Frontier scout. To be honest, I'm not sure you are getting much more except the name when you buy Colt over Uberti, Cimmaron, etc. for shooting. My father has an 357 mag SAA clone made in Italy. I'm not sure of the brand, but it is a tack driver.

If she really loved you, she'd get a Colt or one of these:http://www.usfasingleactions.com/

Gotcha. Good advice.

I got out of high school and got a full time job, so I decided I needed a new truck. I asked my father to cosign for me. He said if I couldn't get it on my own, I couldn't afford it. Best thing he could have done for me at the time.

He gave a fairly good answer. He should have said "It's mine by God, and I'll wear it as I please!"

If FEMA can't manage this any better than anything else it does, we have little to fear from it.

Thanks for posting. I try to spend a fair amount of time undoing the silly [email="cr@p"]cr@p[/email] drilled into my childrens' heads at school. Your post encourages me to redouble my efforts.

[quote]The cops told me to "take care of them" and to call if I catch them. [/quote] I'm not real bright, but isn't that their job?

That would carry and handle about like a Hipoint.

You'd be hard pressed to make a wrong desicion between the two. As others suggested, go somewhere and rent one of each and shoot em. You'll know after that.

All the above methods should result in the same answer, which in the op's case is, GREAT SHOOTING!!!!

I'm pretty sure that's how most AKs are built, except the furniture is made from recycled park benches and pallets rather than shovel handles. Great article. Thanks for sharing.

[quote]You just always hear people talk about how accurate AR's are,guess I'm expecting too much. [/quote] A lot of that is talk. I prefer to see an actual group shot before putting much stock in talk. Try some different loads; perhaps with lighter bullets. You'l likely find one your gun really likes with enough luck and/or dilligence.

Very interesting piece of history. I'm glad to see things like this end up in the hands of people who appreciate them. I agree with you that it is a very good investment.

Personally, I can't do all that well with a military two stage trigger.

I don't have an AR, but my ol' pappy has a Colt HBAR that'll shoot dime sized groups at 100 yards with it's favorite handload. My mini 14 Ruger is getting 2-3' groups with most everything I've tried.

Not yet, but I'm interested in following your progress!

I'm a big fan of Bullseye powder for target handgun loads. I loaded 20 rounds of 7x57, 20 rounds of 223, 400 rounds of 45 ACP, and 150 rounds of 38 Special last night and this morning on a single stage press. It didn't take very long at all.

There are some less expensive models only available at Wal Mart. I believe the Marlin 30AW is such an example. Other than that, being the same make and model, the Walmart gun rolls off the same assembly line as the one at Joe's gun shop.
