Please think, guys. The mission to turn Texas blue is real.
Texas was Democratic stronghold (even more than Kali) for a long time. Like 100 years. Lyndon Johnson, Jim Wright, Lloyd Bentsen. I twas only 20+ years ago Texas moved to Republicans.
Yup. I remember the Ann Richards days.
Sapper, I like the Enfield action. I don't find it "clunky" at all. I like the .308 caliber, because it'll be easier to find than .303 in a SHTF scenario, and I like that I don't have to worry about a collector-grade finish, as I plan on it being a "truck gun".Jeffrey, what's you're fascination with Ishapore built Enfields? Just trying to complete a Lee Enfield collection? They're looked upon with disdain by most Lee Enfield collectors for their poor finish and other than completing a collection, most of us wouldn't bother with one. They were dirt cheap when first imported into Canada when I still lived there, I picked up a wire wound one with grenade cup projector for $125.00, a 2A in 7.62 NATO for $70.00 and an FAL clone for $169.00. A quick check on gunbroker.com found several for sale if you're set on buying one.
No, the Enfield action is the smoothest bolt action rifle on the planet, though not the strongest. I'm with you on the idea of a truck gun and able to shoot 7.62 NATO/.308 Win., that's a good idea. I'm just amazed at what they're selling for here in the U.S. when they're dirt cheap (at least WERE dirt cheap) in Canada.Sapper, I like the Enfield action. I don't find it "clunky" at all.

Beware of the fake jungle carbines.
Hmmm? I wouldn't consider a cartridge that has been around for over 120 years, adopted by 9 - 10 militaries around the world, used in several major conflicts and both World Wars, used in over 17,000,000 rifles (both military and commercial), had numerous rifles, sniper rifles and machine guns chambered for it, taken just about every game animal known to man on every continent except maybe Antarctica, and is still commercially available by most of the major cartridge manufacturers an "odd ball" caliber.Why? are they dangerous? I'm not interested in buying "Collector" fire arms. I just don't care about wall hangers. I'm also not a fan of odd ball calibers. No interest in owning a .303.
