Re: What to buy next?
M1 Garand is a great choice. Everything about it is different - the feel of it, the weight, the unique way to load it, the thump of each round and the "ping". And it's a piece of history. I've never seen anyone shoot mine that didn't have a big smile on their face afterwards.

RIA has an auction coming up, in the small catalogue they show an mg42, mp-40, an NK m49, two police issue tommies, an 1883 gatling with field carriage and a hotchkiss mark 1* with loading strips. They even have some Annie Oakley guns and a 1934 luger with leather holster.

I'll be focused on getting ammo for a LONG time before I add any more firearms to the current roster... and I'll probably put some 'spare funds' into more silver coinage first too.

Re: What to buy next?
Just decided that I wanted to replace my LCP. Carried that long enough and it was time for Chang
Picked up a new Glock 42 on Thursday night. Haven’t had it to the range yet but so far I’m pretty happy with what I see! So the LCP has been cleaned and put away.

Re: What to buy next?
Thanks all. Appreciate the suggestions....lots of good ones I hadn't thought of. Wish i had the change for a machine gun, but the budget's a bit lower than that! Ammo will definitely be on my list as well, once the prices come back down. Can't believe i missed the Luger on my list...that's definitely a gotta-have, at some point. Same on the Enfield.
I'm looking to join a new range in January and they're approved by the CMP, so if i do go the Garand route, I'll be that much closer to checking off those boxes. Until then, make it through the holidays and then I'll start shopping.

Re: What to buy next?
An M1 Garand is what you seek, go CMP if you can, don't go down the gopher hole of originality, heat marks, stampings , stock cartouches ect ect ect..., just make sure it is a good shooter that is assembled properly, and you will love it

Re: What to buy next?
If you have your LTCF, then the membership to a CMP affiliated organization is really the only other thing you need. The LTCF, and the information on it (age and US citizenship), check off every other box. That, and a notarized page 2A -- you should be able to get it done for free at your local branch of any bank where you have an account with.
