a new gun?

Gak, do you have any experience with the auto ordnance M1 Carbines? If so, what kind of quality is it?
TCman, how about a Springfield GI 1911 or maybe a used Sig from CDNN Investments? You can find the Sigs at http://cdnninvestments.com/dowournewcat.html . First you must download the .pdf catalog.

No, I have handled but not shot--it seemed a decent piece. It's nice to see as of this past year A/O has made walnut available as an option as well as getting rid of the cheap looking metal handguard--making it a more charming/desirable piece. I have two GI Inlands and I do not think anything (anyone is likely going to make) that's a clone is not going to trump it, but other than a nice original GI, I think it's a good way to go. Quite frankly I have contemplated the A/O-Kahr just to keep actual use of the GIs down and I think at its price the new gun would fill the bill very nicely for camp and hd/sd, plinking duty. I do regret that, ironically, in A/O's zeal to make "more authentic/original" this past year they got went a step too far to the earlier (vs mid/late war) bolt and non-(windage)/non-protected flip sight--and would exhort them to make a late war variation (1943 on) that offered the optimum/latest of all features. They already had these aspects as well as the late war (or post-war refit) bayonette lug in their first/earlier rendition; all I wanted them to get rid of was the damn metal handguard and add walnut--they listened to half!

I agree with gak, you need a lever action. In .30-30.
I myself am partial to Winchesters.

The problem with the CETME's is that they are assembled by monkeys.
The older chimps, they can put a pretty good rifle together.
The younger ones, though, don't.
Seriously, though, quality control is very spotty. Some CETME's have some rather severe problems, while others work perfectly and shoot 1.5 moa with surplus ammo right out of the box.
I think you need a pistol or two.

You really ought to consider an M1 Garand. It's a great piece of history, they are one of the greatest rifles ever built. You could find one for sale here or get one through the CMP.
Once you shoot the Garand, you'll be spoiled, it's a special rifle, it's hard to explain, there's just nothing else like the Garand!!!
The only down side is that it would take you a little over your budget, but is is a very good investment.
Food for thought............

i know this is a rifle forum, but sounds like you need a revolver, gp100 or 686
