Not with that antiquated bolt-action rifle... but I take your point. [THEY] have pushed us to this inevitable point, when We The People do not consent to their governance.
I can confirm that, at range id reach for the mauser with iron sights over the 5.56 AR. Things get down and dirty that sks is always there for you also.
True but slowly. I was in Uncle Sam's Misguided Children back in the day when we carried the M-14... in my view the best military rifle ever made. Only in the last few years have I succumbed to the AR platform, but now I like both.
You're right about that. But the magazine fed rifle was much better than 10-round stripper clips, which oddly informed the enemy when it was empty...that CLING! The recoil of the M-14 was a little better than the M-1, but still a beast over protracted shooting. I swear I believe the reason I have a bum right shoulder is due to firing thousands of rounds with the M-14. So I think that is why I like the AR platform now, easier on my antique shoulder.

Im willing to bet i could give a few people a run for their money with my old 8mm mauser.

Hehehe.... yeah, possibly. But not for long. Give me magazine-fed or better, BELT-fed, every time.
Bolt will fire every single time.

M-14 was the descendant of the M1. I can respect that. The M14 still has superior reliability to the AR-15.
