Rafterman has some sweet toys. This has been my project the last couple of months. The Twins are now complete. Was fun buying all the accessories and crap. If I really wanted the "cool" factor, I'd add a green laser and SureFire to the M4!  Kudos to RowVWade - I highly recommend his services. Bill's a good man!  Those zombies don't stand a chance now!  Tactical/EOTWAWKI M4 on the top. 20" HBAR "shooter" on the bottom.  Next toy in th works is the M1 Garand. Should be here in about a month. Fingers crossed.

Parker, Are you getting a new one from Springfield Armory or did you go through the CMP?

Just picked me up a Springfield XD45 in .45. I was wanting a .45 as I already have several other makes in .40, 9mm etc.
My next purchase will be a 1911 style. But, being as I shoot southpaw, my options are a little limited. I sure do like the Kimber Compact CDP !!!
Any recommendations on models that have ambidextrious controls ???????

Parker, Are you getting a new one from Springfield Armory or did you go through the CMP? CMP. Correct Grade. Harrington & Richardson. The Springfield SN's for this grade are pretty high. Very unlikely that any of those guns were built before or during WWII. I felt like I had a better shot at getting a WWII veteran rifle with the H&R. I'd love to have a gun that saw service in WWII. We'll see. My Uncle has a 1911 that saw service in WWI. That's World War UNO! He's taken it all apart and put one of those stupid rifle barrels over the lower receiver. Ugh. He's the kinda of guy that would sell it tomorrow, if he wanted something else. Of course, I keep telling him not to sell it and to not mess it up, as I'd love to see it stay in the family. It's a truly cool 1911. idk parker they look a little different to me Yup. The top one won't shoot for crap past 25 yards. It's built with a short, light barrel, has optics with no magnification, has a stock that collapses (urban combat), has the front "hand hold". Really, more a point-n-shoot, or spray-n-pray kind of rifle. Really good for when those zombies are IN CLOSE! Oh yeah, and it even has the notch in the barrel for the M203 grenade launcher. I need to get one of those. The other rifle has a longer, heavier HBAR barrel. It has a 3x12 scope and a Harris Bipod on the front. I'll have the trigger worked on a bit. I'm hoping to dial it in to hit a flees ass at 200 yards. Should be really good for those long range shots at zombies. Not too sure what I'm going to do with the new Garand. I'll probably get a bayonet for it, and if I'm ever charged by small animals or children, I can just skewer them all up on the bayonet. Hell, a good butt-stroking by the M1 wouldn't be a bad call, either. Nothing says love like kissing the ass end of an M1. I just picked up 500 rounds for both the M4 and the M1. Zombies, beware!

Zombies, beware! really are they that unaccurate like that? i really wanna get one for varmint hunting. i was checking them out at the range the other day and they guys that were there had come badass guns.

Pretty much.
Neither gun would be a "good" varmint gun.
Zombie gun, yes. Varmint gun, no.

hey fishhog,
i, too, shoot southpaw. i've been looking around for a 1911 for a while, and heard lots of good things about the taurus pt1911. i think they run about $550 or so, and for the money, it'd be hard to beat. while not as polished as some of the high end pistols, it's got some pretty nice features--and it's ambi-friendly. for the same price, you'd only be able to get a mil-spec pistol. i checked one out at dj's in bothell not too long ago, very sweet. google up some reviews-you might be surprised

lol sounds like my buddie cody. all he talks about is zombies...every single second while walking in the mall or where ever he is talking about his excape plans when zombies attack lol i heard those AR's are really good when you switch out the barrels to a target barrel and do all the stuff needed to make them a "target/varmint" gun. and yeah i wouldnt mind having one for when zombies attack

The Taurus units are a great deal for the $$$. For my next purchase, I'm going to strap on my big shoes and get a high end unit. You can never have enough guns right ? Especially with all the Zombies running around
