Thread: What Im hoping to get

right now all i have is a small vermit gun

What is that XM109? Is that a .50 cal?

The M1 should be on everyone's wish list

And I definitely need to add that K98 to my collection!


Excellent guns!

Not sure what anyone not in the military would do with the XM109 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_XM109). Anyway, it's an NFA weapon - "destructive device" - because it is a rifle with a bore larger than .50 caliber. If it were anyone other an Ronnie Barrett making it, I'd guess it'll never be released to the civilian market. But it's Ronnie Barrett.

The other guns are nice. I have a Garand, and it is by far my favorite range toy. I have absolutely no practical or even semi-practical use for it. It's just a heck of a lot of fun. (See, Old Padawan, I get the concept!)

The new XM110 sniper rifle is now being fielded here in Afghanistan. It's basically an SR25. Another nice gun, though I am not sure rapid .308 fire is needed anywhere but the military. But I'll bet it's fun! If I ever get my hands on an XM110 over here I'll post a report.
