I don't even own an Xterra yet, came here for info. Pretty sure I'm buying one, probably 1st gen. Even if I buy an evil Toyota, or another Chevy, I think I'll be checking this black rifle thread occasionally. I don't watch the news daily so I'm often uninformed.

3 days after the school shootings and crazy stuff regarding "assault weapons", I went to buy either a DPMS 308, or maybe a little KelTec 5.56, forget what they call their small one. The gun dealer I use had about a hundred black rifles the last time I went in, when I was ready to buy, they had none, couldn't get any. So I bought a Mossberg MVP bolt gun that uses 5.56 AR mags. Since they didn't have any ARs, they sold it to me for wayyy under retail. Not a cool looking gun, but tough, light, reliable, 30 rounds, and great price. Goes nicely with my Mossberg 20 and 12 gauges. Looks like most other bolt guns, no need for pics.

Oh yeah, here's a plug for Fort Thompson in North Little Rock Ar. Best gun dealer in this region.

I've owned an AK and SKS, both were great shooters but I sold them, not knowing I'd never be able to replace them for anywhere near what I paid. I thought Soviet bloc weapons would be cheap forever.

My list: Enfield, sporterized and converted to .308, most accurate .308 I've ever shot. 2 Mossberg shotguns. Mossberg 5.56. Westernfield .22 lever action. Remington Nylon 66, (best .22 repeater made I think). Winchester model 12, 16 ga pump. Some kind of double barrel 12ga, so old the name brand is rubbed off, still shoots. A cut down single barrel 12ga that was used to try and shoot a judge. I got it from the lawyer that defended the shooter, and was former judge himself! Para Ordnance match grade 1911. Taurus model 96, Beretta copy, 9mm. FEG 9x18 copy of a Walther PPK. Couple other old pistols in various calibers. Yep, I'm a gun nut. I'm one of the ones they are always talking about on TV. More guns than 10 people need, they say.

What I'm looking at now is a Kel Tec SUB 2000, 9mm carbine. It folds in half. I think it will make a good "backpack gun", or an underseat shooter to keep in the truck. Anyone ever owned one, or any KelTec guns? I'm also going to buy one of those new Ruger .22 take down rifles, another backback gun. Never had a bad Ruger rifle or pistol. Guess I hijacked the "black rifle" thread. So shoot me!
