EPTI suppose the fact that it's right around Christmas may have something to do with it as well. Especially, being in the south.

I thought there was something much more drastic than that. I didn't have much trouble after the Colorado thing. I suppose the fact that it's right around Christmas may have something to do with it as well. Especially, being in the south. They're going to have a hell of a time restocking, so they don't want to sell out in a hurry, because then they lose overall business and customer loyalty. Since it's nation-wide, it's protecting supply a bit. I know you'll appreciate the analogy since you're one of my techie buddy types, remember HDDs after the flooding in Thailand? They're trying to avoid the same sort of sudden shortage. It's actually better for things overall that way, since prices don't spike as hard and fast. | ||

It was one of the picked over guns (local army surplus store started with about 300 in stock and I bought mine when there were 30 left), but it's still in pretty good shape. Next up for me is an AR-15. should've gotten an M44 Nagant. Nothing better than that folding bayonet for skewering enemies of the proletariat. | ||

Next to buy: a rifle. All I have right now is a Marlin .22. What do TL'ers recommend for reliability, low maintenance, no frills, home protection that I could also take deer hunting if I wanted? | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gunsumerreports.com/Chiappa_Rhino_60DS/Chiappa_Rhino_60DS_000_tn.jpg) More info: http://www.gunsumerreports.com/Chiappa_Rhino_60DS/Chiappa_Rhino_60DS_000_tn.jpg Basically, barrel is at bottom, so recoil kicks back, not up, meaning that you can put all 6 rounds into a target or assailant very quickly. Plus, I like the look. What you guys think? Re: rifle, check this out, lol: | ||

Re: rifle, check this out, lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ8Ndkg8urw i have always had a thing for a Colt Python. ![[image loading]](http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101119044905/deadliestfiction/images/8/88/Capachat_colt_python-357-Magnum180362.jpg) 6 inch barrel, chrome or polished stainless steel finish. to me, this a revolver at its finest. the ventilated rib on the barrel adds to it for me. they are getting rarer to find though since they no longer manufacture them. and are fairly pricey (anywhere from 1100 to 1500$ depending on the condition and where its sold) | ||

I wanted the most stopping power for size I could get, and I've always loved the look, feel, and reliability of revolvers. Next to buy: a rifle. All I have right now is a Marlin .22. What do TL'ers recommend for reliability, low maintenance, no frills, home protection that I could also take deer hunting if I wanted? AK-47 in 7.62x39mm. It is the best compromise for a multi-purpose rifle. Get some good polymer tipped bullets like Hornady SST or Hornady Z-Max and it'll cleanly kill a deer with no problem. Alternatively, get a Saiga in 308 if you want more range than the 7.62x39. | ||

If would live in the usa i would definatly get. -mg 42 -stg 44 (weapon on wich the ak 47 is based, no clue why kalashnikov gets all the credit) -Glock 17 (just think this is a verry good handweapon and it has a large magazine) -m1 carabine (still a good rifle, even today) -the .50 caliber sniper rifle (not sure wich manufactorer but it costs like 10k, might need safe for this one) -ak 47 (no matter how much trouble the world gets into, ammunition for this one will always be cheap and available, its just the by far most universal weapon) Have no need for anny of the guns but they are a bit like toys, and i do realy like the historic models. | ||

AK47 only superficially looks like the STG44, they don't really work the same. Also, original MG42's, STG44's, and AK47's are very hard to get in the US, because they're fully automatic. There's tons of Federal red tape to get through, and some states forbid them entirely. Same for the Barret .50 caliber. | ||
