[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3063925, member: 9299"] There is another "rifle", well not quite, I wish I had purchased back in 1985, and it is the full-auto American Arms American-180 22LR. My brother worked with an older gentleman who had one and was wishing to sell it to purchase a new hunting rifle, so on a Sunday afternoon, we drove to his house to do a test fire and evaluate. While not in the same category as a desirable hunting rifle nor shotgun, it was an incredible fun gun to shoot. Though loading the drum with all those 22LR's was a bit of a pain, it could empty that drum in a mere 6 seconds - If it didn't jam, which, on rare occasions, that one did. After some discussion, I decided against the purchase, but a few days later, I contacted my brother to inform the gentleman I had changed my mind and would be there that weekend with cash. Unfortunately, it gave the seller time to also "think", and he decided to keep the 180. Today, that $500 + $200 tax firearm is worth several thousands. [/QUOTE]
