Hedge Against a Ban

[Zundfolge]

Who doesn't want an M1 Garand?

I don't really ... well that is to say there's dozens of guns I'd rather have before I'd expend resources toward a Garand (impending bans or not). And M1 Carbines are horrible ... there, I said it.

Now one of those cool Uberti 1873 carbines with a "Codymatic" action job ... that might be a nice ban proof gun.

Get off my lawn.

I would love to get another M1 but I would like to get a Carbine as well. I have always wanted one.

Carbines are a hit at our family shoots. But they are mag fed and would fall under a function ban with a less-than-optimal round. They are great ranch/house guns but I wouldn't want one in the field. I have a Winchester and would love to pick up a second for cheap just can't believe current prices.

Blasphemy!!!!!

The M1 Garand is an excellent rifle! They can currently be found for $800-1,200 in decent shape. While semi-automatic, the internal magazine exempts it from currently proposed bans. They can be had in .30-06 (the Lord’s caliber) or .308/7.62MM. Both are highly effective and considerably more frightening to me than 5.56MM seeing the results.

I'm worried about a full semi-auto ban which would include my beloved M1. I'm torn right now between an A2Clone Ar or getting an M1 off the CMP when I get my interest free loan back from the IRS.

Everything I have read is focused on the function including detachable magazines. An M1 diversifies.

Doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
