This'll be my first year huntin in a loooooonnng time. It's probably been 15 years.
I used to really like 'huntin wabbits'. I've been practicing stalking them for the last month, and I think I'm ready.
My dilemna is this - when I was younger, I had access to my step father's gun collection for hunting. I could either pick up the 10/22, the 410, or the 20ga for huntin rabbits.
Now, with my step father gone, my choices are limited to my own arsenal - mostly all military rifles and one Remington 870 12ga that's not legalized to hunt with.
What do you think would happen if I carried my M1 Carbine with it's FMJ bullets I have? I figure it's a big, slow bullet, so maybe it'd slow'm enough to finish'm off with a club? Or do you think it'd go right through?
I guess I could go buy a legal mag cap for my 870, but I remember that 12 making a mess of a rabbit at closer ranges. Plus, I hate picking all the lead out of the meat.
The rest of my guns are either too big of caliber for small game (closest I have to a small caliber is the AR), or inaccurate commie guns.
So whatcha think? M1 Carbine or 870?
