Nogunz First Rifle

How is that retarded? Unless he has a bunch of shit he already can't pay for it's a fine first rifle with plentiful ammo with the only thing going against it is that it's a little over priced.

Get a Ruger Mini-14 then.

Cheaper, 5.56 shouldn't kick you around as much as a .308. Good after market, a fun plinker.

Other than that, if he has his mind set on it, than let him get it. My cousin wanted a M92FS for the longest as his only gun, and well... he saved up and got it. Some people are like that mang.

Nothing wrong with an M1A if it's really what he wants and he can afford it.

He'll probably come crawling back to a 10/22 after looking at the ammo bill from a few months of shooting it, but there's nothing wrong with getting your dream gat.

if your friend is set on making a bad decision there isn't much you can do.

He literally knows nothing about guns, I'll likely have to read up on how to take it apart and service it, then show him. I really don't mind, and desu I'm a little jealous lol.

It's just not as practical as muh 10/22

Yeah, I'm for sure gonna bring up the Mini-14, cheaper ammo, cheaper gun, still great, I'm sure.

>>33798871
Basically as the name implies, it's a Mini-M14 in style and function.

>>33798817
How about an fn/fal? Or, just rambling off a few. Ar10, m1 garand, ak pattern rifles, ar 15. Really If he can afford it the m1a isn't terrible by any means but if it's his first gun you can expect he will likely damage it at somepoint.

Might show him the FAL, but he seems to love wood furnished weapons, so the AR-10/15 are out.

levergun

Tried that, showed him based Henry 45-70 (not to suggest him buy one, just to show off how cool they can be)

somehow didn't seem to tickle his pickle

You know they make wood furniture for Ar pattern rifles. It ain't cheap or easy to find but it is god damn sexy
