i'm not so i'll keep on loving my antonio zolli .12 and winchester semi auto .22

that particular weapon is a class 3 firearm, governed by the NFA of 1934. (or 39, i can never remember). you don't need a license, per se, just a LOT of paperwork and signatures from local law enforcement acknowledging the transfer. it's not illegal to own, it's only taxed at the point of sale, and rather steeply at that.

Of course, your gonna want some sub-sonic ammo too. I am guessing you have to make that yourself....Not that .22 rounds are all that loud to begin with...

you can't handload rimfire ammunition anyway. several manufacturers make subsonic stuff. a lot of match grade stuff is subsonic, so that it doesn't go transsonic on the longer shots and screw your accuracy up.

My match mule on top (M1A Supermatch), Winchester 52D below. Classic match rifles.

Guns...what wonderful things they are.... Here are some of my favorites:

H&K 91
H&K 93
H&K USP .45
FN 49
Colt AR-15 both 223 and 9mm
M1 Garand
Remington 700...7mm Mag
Remington 870 12 ga
Browning A-5 sweet 16
Ithaca side by side 16ga
Browning Citori 12, 20, 16 gauges
S&W Mod 41
S&W Mod 17
Wilson Combat 1911


there are more, but I've got to get ready for work.

I have no favorite I love them all. If I had to pick only one it would be the marlin 45/70 guide gun. This will kill anything needed and I can swing it from the pasenger seat to the window of the truck from behind the steering wheel. as for handgun carry I like my keltec P3AT for summer and the good ole Colt 1911 in the winter. Boy that John Browning was truely a smart man. the 1911 is still THE GUN to carry in my opinion. Glock is great but how can you argue the .45ACP in the 1911 for simple effective firepower. And thanks to our French members for reminding me to thank God for the right to keep and bear arms. And ask God that that right not be infrenged in November no matter who wins.

My favourite rifle is a Lancaster style flintlock, 40 cal, my belt gun is a colt navy. When I am a horse back, a henry Mod 1860 in 44/40 wcf . I love the smell of black powder in the morning !!
