Next gun purchase
« on: September 25, 2008, 07:07:12 PM »

I am starting to like the idea of a new steel in my gun safe..

last week i did a inventory of my safe and couldn't believe the amount of ammo and old guns that i don't shoot. I needed to lay them all out and made me think.

Sale one or two revolvers and fund a new long gun.

Beverly said that she was kinda shocked when she walked into the room when everything was out on the floor. I ushered her that her father had a better collection than me.

She doesn't know i also have a safe at the ranch. Mostly shotguns and rifles that are air looms. She does knows the value of a gun. Its really nice because when i purchase a new one she understand that it retains it value unlike a pair of shoes. Makes it easier for me when i walk in the door with a new box...

You could get a Polish Tantal for nearly half of that, it shoots similar but cheaper ammo too.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

You could probably replace that one with a real Butt Stock, you may be able to find one with a plastic one similar to the one you posted.

FX1, the only advice I can give you is to get something that you know is likely to get banned if Obama 'n co. get in.

In short, anything with evil "Assault Weapon" features.

ie: my latest one:


Bushmaster XM15 5.56mm NATO

From what I understand they cant ban guns that have been purchased today. It would be a nightmare if i went out tomorrow and purchased this rifle and next year someone knock on my door and asked to have it back.

Well, my own opinion is that they could only get away with banning "from this day forward" like they did with the Clinton Assault Weapon ban... so get 'em while you can...

Course yeah it's always a gamble...

It really is - it's a Rock River Arms mount I found at a local gun show this weekend for $60.
