| #8 Everytime I take my M1 to the range everyone there goes all woosie - I can only imagine what they'd do if I showed up with an M14. Hell, I'd like a BAR too - Santa maybe? |

| #7 Buy your dies, brass and powder now, if you have a work area. Hard to track. Powder and brass must be stored properly. |

| #6 The best time to invest in guns in ammo is always before they might be needed, or before you figure they will want to take them away. Ironically, because of their long shelf life if properly stored, they are a good investment. An excellent example from a few years ago was a modular .50 cal rifle that could be carried in a small case, since outlawing .50 cal is a major priority of the gun control crowd. If you are already a gun owner, once a crackdown is started, you might buy a small handgun, just so that when they are confiscated, once they have taken it, they will think you are "gun free". Importantly, don't forget to invest in ammo, since because gun control isn't getting anywhere, they are trying out ammo control. |

| #1 an M14 rifle is reportedly sold at P90,000, and an M16 Armalite rifle, between P50,000 and P70,000. 90,000 = $2k USD, 50,000 = $1.1k USD. I'd like to have an M-14! The .30 caliber ammunitions for Garand rifles, the standard issue to government militiamen, are in demand, too. Wow, they still use the Garand? Not saying it wasn't a great rifle in its time, but jeez, get some AKs or SKS or something. |
