Great news! I hope you get it at a very good price. 419!

I imagine they are lighter, and probably balance better, with the COG closer to the receiver, and thus closer to your father's body. That seems like it would be easier to hold up with one hand. Also, I prefer the shorter barrel for use at close and medium ranges. If I need to reach out further, I would prefer an MBR-style rifle (FAL, Garand, etc.) over a standard 20" AR-15, anyway.

I'll bet that they do!

OK Guys, you now know what I want for Christmas.

A 10-22 should be able to get far better than 6 inch groups, at 50 yds, which is about the max for sighting in. And yes, you need still winds for sighting in. Wind doping comes later. Consider the type of ammo you are using as well. At 50 yds, target ammo, will shoot adequately well, to fine tune, but most ammo for .22 is very poor for accuracy, and especially consistency. Increasing range to 100...

$799 would be high for either a carbine or Garand that would have been well thrashed. Having said this, though...the better grade examples of either can easily go MUCH higher. Even today, I'd have to struggle to justify much more than $600 for a shooter of either variety... and it would need to be a rather good one...strong barrel, reasonably "correct", and free of significant damage. I ...

I would REALLY like to add the third one down to my collection. I have always wanted an AK with a slant brake and a bayonet. I wonder how these are. It looks like there are no magwell dimples so they are probably WASRs, but they could be decent depending on who brought them in. Porter

Of those choices, I'd be inclined to pick the HiPoint carbine, provided: A) You're satisfied with its reliability. B) You have a decent handful of mags. C) You have a decent mix of ammo loaded in said mags. However, in my opinion, one's choice should reflect their environment... what is "best" in an urban/ suburban enviroment may be a less than optimal choice for a more rural ...

Since you already have a carbine, and in a more suitable caliber, I'd get rid of the shorty Enfield and get a full length rifle for distance. Maybe even a SMLE or No. 4, if you have .303 stocked up.
