    I like muskets, carbines are hard for me to shoot accurately.

    Watch out for RUGER chambers that claim to be 5.56 often they are not.

    Thanks for letting me know. I now have around 50 rounds through the Anderson/Blackthorne rifle and it functions 100% and is more accurate than I can take advantage of. Been shooting cheapo Tula steel case so far, hopefully I can soon try the reloads with Hornady slugs that my Zastava bolt action likes.

    I like the A2 butt stock. Had a collapsible on my AR, traded it off for an A2. But I reckon I'm a dinosaur. Just didn't like the thing ratlling around against my head.

    Fixed stock here, too. I hate a rattling too short stock with no storage. A proud fellow dinosaur.

    Several fixed but a lot more collapsible versions , though I prefer fixed and have more to assemble , I like the longer barrels also , but I find when putting them together I end up with different mixtures of parts depending on what I feel like or am building for.
