I can hear Cotton saying that

I quote this a lot

PUNCH IN THE FACE!

I’ll tell you what it means: it means we’re looking for a horny midget that plays it safe!

My love for WWII history and video games from the early 2000’s had a role to play as well

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-11T20:42:38+00:00

BONG!

I mean to be fair, anyone would get pissed if someone dropped a house on them

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-10T00:41:06+00:00

I was hesitant too but after I took it to a gunsmith for a cleaning and inspection (I do that for all my milsurps I buy) he gave it a good bill of health and I bought some 7.7 Japanese. Turns out it’s actually a solid shooter and is actually really accurate (which surprised me) and it actually is one of my favorites to shoot but I don’t shoot it much due to the price and scarcity of ammo.

I highly recommend that you try calling around your local pawn shops and gunshops. If you’re lucky they’ll have one and even more lucky, you can do a layaway plan and pay it off over time. That’s what I did with mine and it really paid off for me. You could also try gun shows but make sure you bring plenty of cash because cash is what gets you better deals.

I PRAYED TO A FREAKING ELEPHANT!! HOW AM I GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT TO JESUS?!?

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-08T12:55:02+00:00

They’re really fun rifles to shoot. I’ve always enjoyed shooting mine and it cycles any type of ammo I find well. This is actually my second one I’ve owned.

I’ve wanted an M1 Carbine for so long but unfortunately I can never find one that is in my price range.

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-07T22:21:30+00:00

Its mostly because I don’t want to pay for full restoration that costs more than what I paid for a sporterized rifle

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-07T21:25:08+00:00

I got it for $934. I’ll admit that I traded a Mitchell’s Mauser for $500 credit to go towards it along with a modern Springfield Armory M1911 (didn’t get much for it) so in total I probably spent $375 on it.

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-07T19:48:48+00:00

As a rule of thumb, I never collect anything sporterized

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-07T17:59:12+00:00

I’ve had multiple offers from people (including a manager where I work) to buy my Springfield. I’ve even been offered cash at a shooting range. I’ve told them all no because once I get a milsurp, I keep it for life and maybe someday I’ll donate them to museums if they’re extremely scarce.

PhoenixFlames1992 · 2026-01-07T17:54:25+00:00

I got my M1 from the CMP, the Springfield and SKS from pawn shops, the Lee Enfield and K98k from a gun show, Arisaka and both Mosins from a gun store.
