THE TEN MANLIEST FIREARMS 10 Manliest Firearms: by Michael Z. Williamson, SMLE, Mosin-Nagant M44, Swiss K31 Carbine, Remington 870 WHAT DO YOU THINK, IS HE RIGHT?
Dunno... THe list just needs to be longer... He forgot one of my favorites... My Marlin 1895 45/70 with awesome octagon barrel and tang peep sights kicks some booty!
Williamson has written a few good books. the last one I read was Targets of Opportunity. I like my Romanian PSL/Romac 3 in 762x54
Daisy Red Rider! ( I am hung like a bull hamster!) Seriously though all those weapons are absolutely great. I don't really have a need for a BMG, hard to talk the wife into one for squirrel hunting (she's smarter than I originally thought.) I own a couple of the others and they are flawless shooters.
I'm sorry... No M1A on the list is crap. And while the Barrett .50 is a hell of a weapon, I'll guarantee it has done less to preserve US freedom and has killed far less enemy than the M1A.
M1 Garand / M1A > AK47 > AR15 Nevermind the M60, Browning M2, etc. Nothing that shoots a .22 caliber round should ever grace the title Manly. Loading...
