So, it was suggested on AMT to begin a pro-gun thread over here. Well, here it is:
If you have/want guns and you want to talk about it, this thread is for you.

I have a 9 mm. I'm not a gun guy, I have it just in case it's needed. I'll chat away with you here.

Lots to go!!!
Might be looking for a new pump action 12 gauge soon.
I still need a sks, ak47, and tommy gun to name a few.
The .44 Mag. (S&W Model 29 w/ 8 3/8" barrel) gets a lot of range time. We have been having issues with bears locally so I'm making a point to stay proficient with it.
Oh yeah. I have a Benelli that is hopefully getting a feeding issue taken care of at the factory. I'm looking for somewhere to shoot skeet but none of the local ranges have facilities for shotguns.
Now the AK, ah the AK. You have a ton of really cool pre bans you could buy, under folder, paratrooper, side folder. All come with bayonets. Cheap to shoot, buy Russian surplus ammo.
As for the Garand they can be had for cheap because they are mostly made from parts of other guns. If you ever find a matching rifle BUY IT and put that in a safe. It's worth thousands.

If you're looking to have representations of the WWII guns, no collection would be complete without a Thompson.
Dudeman did the TG have the drum or just the stick mag? I know they make a reproduction mag that holds less rounds.
I wasn't very impressed with that, either. Short LOP, rough assembly and not accurate. I know some AK's are accurate but I haven't shot one yet.
He has a Browning BAR Longtrac in 30.06 that shoots like a laser.
For an AK you really need to go pre ban. Some people will argue but Norinco even made a good version of it.
Egyptian and Russian made are top notch.
Both are beautiful 5.56 rifles.
Consequently, I don't take the rifles out very often. Couple times a year, maybe.
I'm working on a Remington 700 build and I just got the action and bolt back from getting blue printed and trued.
Once it's done, I plan to either find a good range with some distance or I'll buy some property in the sticks and build my own.
Reloading can really pay for itself pretty quickly if you shoot a lot. It's pretty rewarding, too. My target loads for 9mm cost 12.8 cents per round and are more consistent and accurate than the dollar per round premium ammo available down here.
