I understand GM closed the Janesville plant recently. I had a good friend That was in the Vintage Chevrolet Car of America ( VCCA) when I was, he was from West Allis and worked at Janesville back in the 1970s He found the 1928 Chevy car I was looking for.

Welcome from Texas, I used to have 1928 Chevrolet built in Janesville. Sold it in 2014.

Yes on the Ambi up to a point, other major change like the ejection port and the forward assist is costly. Why not S&W ARs, I don't see very many of them around. also availability, price, and usually lack of superior performance. There are a lot of DPMS brand and pattern .308s of several versions and usually you can find one new in the box for $700 - $900 buy it today, mount some glass or iron sights, and shoot it today .....or if you want to build your own custom piece, buy a pile of custom parts build it and shoot it after a while. Remember, the .308 version is non Mil Spec and often one vendors private brand parts may not fit another makers parts.

“ONE IS NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW!” Manure... An interesting fact. Manure : In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything for export had to be transported by ship. It was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction ' Stow high in transit ' on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this "volatile" cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T. ' , (Stow High In Transit) ,…………. So it’s really not a “swear word” which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. You probably did not know the true history of this word. Neither did I. I always thought it was a golfing term.

Yep, it kinda rattles my cage.

Welcome from Texas Being an old brown shoe Marine we have been thru several battle rifle transactions from Springfield 1903, Garand M1 30 cal M14 .308, Colt M16 .223. I can understand anyone questioning whether to go .223 or.308 also which platform AR, Garand, or perhaps a commercial semi-auto or bolt or even a pump or lever action sporting rifle. However, since you landed here I suppose you are leaning heavily towards AR platform. I think for your wants and needs I would say go with either Armalite or another popular .308 pattern. Many will say an AR 15 .223 will do the job at lower cost and lighter weight, but it don't work for me, and I do also have one.

If left in original condition, couldn't this gun be classified as a Curio, or relic due to it's age of manufacturing?

Once more welcome from Texas! Central Texas

They about gave me a hemorrhage with the Vikings.

Cowboys did pretty good except for dem dang Giants, and here we go again tomorrow!

That'll work for me, I have a 10 cavity .45 mold somewhere. and a jar full of 1/4" hex drive Phillips tips. Anyone got 50,000 .45 gas caps?

It would be a hoot if we fitted those 10 barrels with suppressors!

I'll Fire up the grill and be waiting in the shop! Do you know how to get here?

We hardly use any white sugar at all and seldom ever fry anything with grease. I have almost quit Diet cokes my son-in-law got me on Zero cokes without that Diet soda sweetner, I only drink Cokes about 3 or4 a week. I am still using my Old Smoky electric smoker for turkey and brisket. I add some cooking wine to the water pan, I get a nice smoke flavor (hickory chips) jucie turkey or briskit, it don't hold a lot of meat 15# turkey or small briskit.

Damn I wish you lived just down the street. When I was a kid the only beef pork or poultry and dairy I ate at home was home grown. About only food we ate out was hamburgers and corn dogs. Never had tough meat, till I left home.

Did someone say dream on, dream on fool....

Maybe we could do bundle deal and we probably will need to charter some more investors, I mean shooting team members

I wonder if the gun is available for pickup at their Abilene stores? Maybe we could put together a incorporated 20 members shooting club and have the Gatling gun as our crew- served piece? Of course 98 could be our 45-70 team leader.

Breakfast ain't breakfast without sausage, bacon or Ham!

I may have a T-bone for breakfast with a side order of bacon!
