What is the most gorgeous manual rifle action in your opinion? To me it's the Winchester 1892. The way the lever is not directly attached to the receiver but instead the bolt and lugs makes me believe John Browning was a true savant.
Lee enfield style rifles, super smooth, super fast to use, the way the bolt just dumps your hand right at the trigger plus also being cock on close, just feels so good.
I do love me some Winchester lever rifles. Big fan of the Winchester 1886/ Model 71, the 1873, and the 1895. Although I think the best looking lever action rifle is actually the Colt-Burgess 1883 and the Winchester 1895 Musket/military. The Russians actually used the 1895 military model in 7.62x54mmR to offset shortages in Mosin-Nagant M1891s. There were also a few military style M1895s in .30-03 and .30-06, but they're rare birds and go for bookoo bucks. I'd love to have one.
Winchester sold a fair amount of 1895 muskets to various state militia and guard units. Kentucky state militia had an order. I think Hawaii did as well. Possibly New York too

They operate nicely, sure. But this is about aesthetics, and aestheticslly the Lee-Enfield series is kind of a dog. I think the P13/M1917 Enfield is a much more handsome rifle. The Mauser 98 and M1903 are also better looking rifles. Just never cared for the looks of the Lee-Enfield. They look like a fat chick in a prom dress three sizes too small. Again, this is purely on appearance and nothing to do with function.

I’m a big fan of the m1917 Enfield. It has a smooth action, I like the cock-on-close, and the fact you can sneak a 7th round in it by pressing it into the magazine a little is unique to that era of bolt actions. It might not be the most aesthetically pleasing because it has a little bit of a belly compared to other Mauser style rifles is a quirk that makes me like it even more. It has a long sight picture and good iron sights especially compared to other WWI bolt guns, and the increased weight makes it nicer to shoot even if it would be more of a pain to carry compared to other rifles. It’s not as fast as the Lee-Enfield but still pretty quick too, and dogleg bolt handle does mean you can shoot it similar even if it is a little different.
I haven’t shot many bolt guns outside of WWI+II milsurps, but that one is my personal favorite.

M1917/p14 is probably the best looking mauser 98 based rifle besides the Spanish FR-8, idk enfields just look neat the full wood hand guard and nosecap are peak firearms design, plus you can get some really ridiculous/obnoxious/goofy markings and rackpaint from the DP rifles with makes them in my opinion look neat. Enfields just feel like eachone is an individual more than other rifles because there are so many variations and different things that go into them.
Facebook is something else lol, I saw this under a post where 80 guns were seized in Bremerton Washington
It’s probably bait but you can’t tell sometimes with these people lmao. Also isn’t the DSA very anti gun? lol
They talk a tough game, but like most Commies they're all cowardly faggots. If things were to go hot in the US most of these Pinkos are going to be exposed as LARPers who don't actually believe in anything and aren't willing to risk their lives for their ideals. The ones who aren't LARPing will most likely do what Mao and the ChiComs did during the Japanese occupation of China: hide out in the mountains while someone else does all the fighting and dieing, and when the fighting is over and the victor is weak, swoop in and defeat the weakened victor while claiming all along they were really the winners.

I'd advise you to take them a bit more seriously. While their lack of competency is obvious and can't really be overstated, the idiot with nothing to lose is the exact demographic willing to do something stupid.
Antifa types have a much more active track record of fucking around, and repeated light wrist slaps for domestic terrorism in blue cities emboldens them for heaftier attempts at violence.
I can not emphasize enough the importance of going shooting/camping/LARPing with your friends. And maybe give my (rather neglected, I really need to spruce it up) write up on establishing a COC.
The defining difference between "us" and them is we do infact have things to lose, because at baseline we are competent enough to have things to lose.
The Italians are a disarmed populace, why would their gun makers have a broad lineup of CCW type guns? Plus the market has been pretty crowded for a long while and another compact at the mid price range would be an uncertain investment. The 80 is pretty funny, it's damn large for a .380 and the marketing team seems to be hard at work sending it to guntube channels.
because one of their biggest markets is america...? most euros are disarmed but that doesn't keep glock from making modern ccw guns, nor does it prevent springfield, walther, and HK.
