    The World's best rifles, shotguns and pistols ...

    The only one of that lot that I own is the Mossberg.
    I guess my SP1 is a little out of date as is my 1903.
    Like my SKS, my 1903 Colt 32 has never jammed.

    The way things are going, the rifle of the future will
    weigh about fifteen pounds and have have a kitchen sink
    mounted on the rail.

        My dad's A5, FN made 12 Ga., 2 3/4" chamber, is still my preferred field gun. I did luck into a NOS Jap barrel about 15 years ago with choke tubes. Before that getting by with the FN full choke barrel which wasn't rated for steel shot. No bulges however. The old man could really shoot.

        I have dunked it, and getting all of the water out of it, including the spring tube, is the sort of thing one should free the afternoon to do.

          Makes you wonder what the criteria were. He cites the British SA80 and the French FAMAS, both of which are being replaced, no mention of the Browning High Power or S&W M&P/Model 10-how many of those were made and are still in use ?

              The polish guns were left out too.
