Yeah, don't shoot at anything very far away, and put a good shot on it when you do shoot.

Yeah it's legal. I know it is outlawed in some states but I don't believe it is in Arkansas. Reason it is outlawed is because it honestly is not very reliable for killing a deer. If you don't get a good shot on one then chances are you are just going to wound it.

Is that a military issued gun, could be worth up to a couple grand. I just picked up one made by IBM during WWII paid about $1100 for it. I love old military guns. O and is that a bayonet mount on the bottom of the Barrel?...
I have kille deer with that gun the reason for all the talk on not killing deer... Back in the day the only bullets you could find for it were old mil. issue with old powder and were not very leathal. However now many ammo makers make a new style bullets with new powder that will kill deer. Still polly won't kill anything past 120yars or so!

I've been telling him all week that gun is worth some money. I looked at it first hand; it has been kept well-oiled and everything. Is in remarkably good condition.

I know this is old, but it is one of my favorite guns so I have to bring it back to life. I have a WWII one made by Rockola (the jukebox company). My dad bought it from the NRA (I think) not long after the war for $15. I bough a choate folding stock for mine to keep the original stock out of harms way when I take it into the woods. I love it for varmint/palinking around. Now that I am in S. Ark, I figure it will be my hog gun. They make 5, 15, and 30 round mags. The ammo for these is becoming more and more common because some companies have used the round in pistol applications. There was also a paratrouper version of the gun from WWII that had a metal tube rear stock that could fold around.
Reason, that is a bayonet lug on the bottom of the barrel. I really want to take mine to a gun smith one day and have them build a grip that would lock onto that bayonet lug. The bayonets for them run you a pretty penny and I have yet to find one for mine.
Like others have said, they are not great for something as big as a Deer. A lot of AGFC guys really dont like these guns because they see so many deer every year with bullet holes all over them from these guns. Some people like to use them to spray and pray at deer.

I've got the BB gun that looks exactly like it. I've got the 1969 model with the wood stock. I'd never even seen one and then my wife's grandfather just gave it to me. I've always thought the .30 carbine round was neat, nowadays most of the surplus ammo has been used up so it is harder to find.

I know this is about the .30 but I have a 22-250 I traded for. Shot some deer with the 40 grain bullets, bad move, so befoe I traded the gun off I tried 65 grain, the heaviest they make, and shot a big hog with it and dropped him in his tracks. I am wondering if this 22-250 can be a light deer gun with the 65 grain bullet?

I have a friend that deer hunted with a .22 hornet for a long time. Those hypodermic needle calibers will all work fine, but it's like archery hunting with a rifle. You have to wait for the right opportunity to make the perfect shot. A six inch difference in shot placement with a small caliber makes the diffence in dropping them in their tracks or not even finding them.
