I haven't bought one in so long I've forgotten what it's like. I am far from deprived, I have a closet full of safe queens, never fired (by me, at least), once fired, haven't fired in years. Also what I call sort of fired. I have a Mauser Ge 98, a Remington M1917 and a MAS 1936 each of which I have fired once-with 32 ACPs using a chamber adaptor. Which is a lot fun, by the way, you get to handle a full size rifle, the chamber adapters let you shoot on an indoor range, the blast and recoil are on a par with a 22. My memory is good enough that I haven't forgotten anything I own, and taking a once fired-years ago-firearm to the range is on a par with handling a new one.
Should I go out and buy one as a patriotic duty and to stimulate the economy ?
