Same here. Do you use any? I used to brag about my quick draw with my snub .38ps but I left that back in Texas so I can't show it off. What I do have is a West German .22 Hawes single action. In bad but not horrible shape. If i can do a little restoration I could sell it for a few bucks.

Unfortunately, I'm to young to buy a gun, and I don't have enough money. I would love to get a revolver though.

That or anything in the .30s if you can a .38 police special can go for under $400 if you find the right model and seller

And define ‘stupidly expensive’.


Just a complete upper with a full auto BCG, the only cheap one I found was a 10.5 inch barrel one for $260 or so but I want a 16 inch.



Just buy the upper of your choice that lacks a BCG and then get an M16 BCG for like $140.00.

.38 Special that does shoot stuff for fewer than 300 U.S. Fiat dollars!

Plus Armscor has a solid warranty, if the production quality is no good. They'll replace it straight up.

My favourite rifle has got to be the Zavasta M70AB2, such a sexy rifle.
I may be biased because my father owned one, but Lord. I have never seen a more beautiful rifle in my entire life.

Winchester's in general are beautiful rifles, that old western vibe is definitely an added plus.

This is actually perfect. If for whatever reason you want to be Texas like I am you should be able to shoot it well one handed.
