Gunsmithing (no politics)
Grognard:
my question is this: with a budget of $500, what type of quality semiauto rifle can I get?
...not including AK or SKS or .22s: a real meat getting rifle.
I've searched gun broker but not found much.
I use the $500 because to trick out a M-N with a Timney trigger and an Archangel stock would cost about that.

I am curious about the semi-auto qualification? It drives pricing up quite a bit, but when you say "meat getting", I think of hunting and it's associated ammo capacity regulations. Most people looking at a deer rifle are by default heading towards bolties. Is this a recoil issue?

Hmmm I know what I want for Christmas.
Groggie I'd suggest poking around on Armslist and buying second hand.
Noxx:
One of yesterdays acquisitions, a late 1956 production of the Smith M25 target (model 25) heavy barrel in 45 ACP / Auto Rim. I am doing some Smith research, difficulty as the company is very heavy on tribal knowledge, to determine if the target grips may be an original option, any data you guys could provide in this area would be great. With the compensator removed, it cleaned up quite nicely, and will most likely become a permanent part of my collection.
Grognard:
GM: I haven't found much of anything on Armslist.
NOXX: nice find of the M25.
*I spoke with my gun shop owner: a case of Tula's finest would run "$2800 and change."
yes, I am becoming a bit recoil averse. "Uncle Winston" beats me up with every trigger pull.
AND .303 ammo is become very rare and dear.
I'm thinking of a Ruger Ranch Rifle in 5.56, but those are $700+
I was wondering about the 6.8SPC and .270 Winchester ?
then again, I'm not in a hurry: tax returns don't get here until February.
