Tax-Free Weekend for South Carolina Guns

Kennesaw , GA --(AmmoLand.com)-  Handguns, rifles and shotguns were cheaper on Friday and Saturday Nov. 27 and 28 because South Carolina lawmakers created a tax-free “Second Amendment Weekend.” South Carolina is the only state in the nation that has a tax-free weekend for both handguns and hunting guns.

Gunshop owners expected a surge in business for the tax-free days because buyers didn’t have to pay the 7.5 percent in state and local sales taxes. Some retailers expected to sell as many guns in two days as they typically do in a month.

South Carolina had the nation’s first tax holiday on guns last year after legislators tacked it on to a tax break on energy-efficient appliances. The state Supreme Court threw out that law in May because of an unrelated energy amendment. Lawmakers restored the gun tax break as a one-time event in the budget this year.

The 7.5 percent sales tax still applied to ammunition during the Second Amendment Weekend.

No End to Enfield Rifles

GunBroker.com

Kennesaw , GA --(AmmoLand.com)- One could quite easily fill a small room with different variations of the British Lee-Enfield rifle.

With the earliest versions produced in the late 1800 and many still used in former Crown Colonies, the Lee-Enfield carries more history than most modern military rifles.

Having seen action in both World Wars and various small conflicts around the world, the Enfield can be the basis for a serious collection.

To get one of each model or variation would mean you’d be collecting upward of 50 rifles.

The Standard Catalog of Military Firearms lists all the differences and even adds production numbers so you can find out the relative rarity of the gun that catches your fancy.

The best way to start your collection is to log on to www.GunBroker.com and simply search for Lee-Enfield.
