What is the most Patriotic/American gun, to you???
« on: July 03, 2018, 09:47:11 AM »
Reading another post got me to thinking about what would I consider to be the most patriotic/American gun and with the 4th of July being tomorrow figured this would be a good time to see what everyone consider as the most "American/Patriotic" gun to them.

For me it was an easy one and really the only one that came to mind, Colt 1911.

Remington 870 comes to mind for me. Not really patriotic but more just "American" because so many guys and gals have or have had them at one point

So many to choose from - Spencer repeaters, Colt Peacemaker and M1911, Winchester M12, M70 and M94, M1 Garand, M16, Remington 700
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I'm sorry but the rules clearly state you can only pick one.  :chuckle:

Modern AR Rifle.
No weapon has exploded in interest and variability as the AR.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1
