Hello emcon5,,,
A surplus Polish Radom Wz-48 would be perfect. And way cooler rifle than anything new.
I agree with you completely,,,
But if I found one for sale anywhere,,,
I would buy it for myself if I had the spare coin.
My bud wants a new rifle for his son,,,
Because he simply doesn't know any better,,,
And to tell the truth, the kid deserves nice stuff from his dad.
I've known him since he was 3-4 years old,,,
He's never given his parents one moment of grief,,,
And he pulls his weight around the house like he was a boarder.
Dad just wants to give his kid a nice shiny new rifle,,,
Who among us can really fault him for that.
My personal recommendation (if the club will allow it),,,
Is a CZ of some ilk, with a single-shot adapter.
Thanks for the suggestions,,,
Aarond
