Well--not too difficult to start one (if Wilco gives his permission), but you'd need a lot of multiple choices unless you were just interested in only the top 10.

I have sent a PM to Wilco and we will see what follows. What would good choices be? M1A, FAL, M16, M14, AR-15, AR10, ?
Don't forget the M1 rifle and the M1 carbine. M14 is the full auto (select fire) version--it would be unusual for anyone to own one. Same with the M16. Include H&K G3 and CETME. Maybe a catch-all of Bolt Action Rifle, or if you wanted to break that down to Springfield M1903, 1903-A3, Mauser, Lee Enfield. You could also have "Other--please explain in a post." I'm sure if you think about it awhile you'll come up with some others.

My DCM Garand. Rebuilt in the 60s then stored away at Anniston for me until 91. It came in a stock so worn, the receiver hung over at the rear. Why they put freshly rebuilt metal in such a worn stock is beyond me. Had to do something about that. Fajen was going out of business and had this laminated stock on sale.

Nice mauser porn Stewbaby.

Hello,
Here's a short movie of my favorite. I'm more proud of its function than of its looks; just looks like an old 91/30.
Please forgive the video quality.
I'll have to dig up pictures; haven't had time to transfer them all to this computer.
Regards,
Josh
1943 era SA Garand that was completely rebuilt in 1956 in Copenhagen.
Shoots better than I can hold it at 70YY.

Good grief there is some beautiful steel and wood here! I'm sorry I can't reciprocate very well - my only battle rifle isn't a real one, but a semi-auto clone of a foreign rifle, my BREN 805. I had a Mauser k98 years ago, and a Springfield 1903A3 as well as several Mosins and even a MAS 36 that I could never find a single round of ammo for...but this is what I have now.
Shooting 55gr Lee cast boolits on the firing line on Tuesday
Shown launching j-word projos before I really started with cast in this caliber.

The closest I have to the big bore battle rifles here is a Spanish 1916 Mauser LAGS rechambered in 8x57JS, and made to shoot cast loads exclusively. It's a great deal of fun, but I consider her retired, not still a service rifle, so she takes it easy, coming out occasionally to show off on the line a bit.
