That was my strategy two weeks ago when I bought my Mossy 500. I figure I shouldn't attempt it again since she was anti-guns in the house until about 2 months ago. After this, I may get a semi-auto pistol and then my shopping spree will have to come to an end for a while. Now I have a .22 pistol, .38 Spl revolver, shotgun, pellet gun, and now I'm getting this rifle, so with a 9mm I feel I will have a complete collection. Luckily she enjoys going to the range and she is a history minor in college, so explaining to her that this gun was issued in WWII will help me out a lot.bsipes30 said:shoulda just bought it and stuck it with all the other guns and waited till she said something about it and then you say oh... that old thing... and walk away.

I am not a hunter, so I don't know the laws, but I guess you can't hunt with FMJ in NH. Is that true of other states?

Assuming you have a choice between a couple different rifles, ask if they have one with matched serial numbers. The barrel, bolt, butt plate, and floor plate will all have a serial number. It's not a huge deal, but rifles with matched numbers will have more collector value.
