I didn’t buy one but I sure found one that I want to buy! Been wanting a 1911 in 10mm for awhile, but other things keep getting priority. Found a Kimber Pro Raptor II in 45 yesterday and it almost came home with me. Can’t find a 10mm 1911 to handle anywhere!

Scratch that- bought a Springfield TRP Longslide 10mm this morning off of gunbroker!

Well today my luck turned around!

A few weeks back IWI released a limited run of Galil Ace rifles in 5.45. They sold out in less than 24 hours and I missed out.

Yesterday, the Mosin Crate did a sale on Puerto Rican law enforcement confiscated AKs. Those sold out in about 1 second and I missed out.

But today, I got an email from Copper Custom. Apparently someone’s payment info or FFL info was no good because they listed 1 more 5.45 Ace for sale and I got the notification it was “back in stock”.

Hopped on it like a duck on a junebug!

Not today, but Sunday. Kinda stole it. Ruger MK1, 4" bull barrel, great trigger, excellent condition, $200. Sweet shooter. Checked another one off the bucket list.

wasnt aware they made the mki in a 4in bull barrel, I only know of the 5 1/2in. I think they did a special run of the mkii with a 4in bull.

It could very well be a 5 1/2" bull barrel, but for $200 and being in excellent condition I wasn't gonna pass it up. I'll have to measure it when I get home today. Bought it as a companion to my MKII government model. Got to mod all my MKII mags so they will fit the MKI. Can't wait to shoot them side by side for a accuracy comparison.

That was a good deal. I love these things, I currently have a mki and mkii in the 5 1/2 bull. Along with a couple old standards. I shoot the bull barrels way better than the tapered ones.

I picked up a Tikka T1X in 22lr the other day, I went for the 16in barrel version, now to get it scoped out.

Same here. Had a standard model years ago but it got stolen. I really got this one for holster carry, the 6 7/8 barrel one the government model is a little long for holster carry, especially when getting in and out of my truck or when on a tractor. Really want the new MKIV for relocated mag release.

Man those Tika's sweet. When I sold guns at BPS in Macon I always recommended them over any bolt action rifle we sold, butter smooth action and guaranteed accuracy. I need a good bolt .22.

I just read in a new article on CNN that the FBI has reported over 28 million gun checks so far this year, more than all of 2019 and we still have two more months to go this year. Guns and ammo sales are flying.

I haven't bought a gun in a month or so but I have been buying ammo every chance I can. Nothing major purchase wise but 2 or 3 boxes here and there, mostly deer rifle ammo and shotgun shells.

Haven’t bought a gun in a while, however I did receive an 8lb keg of Sport Pistol today.

Wouldn’t it be super if all those gun buyers would vote as if they wanted to KEEP their new guns ? !!!!!!!!!!

I truly hope they do.

Absolutely!!! I had to get up and walk away the other day at work from a conversation. A guy I work with who hunts, fishes and owns guns. Tells me he's voting for Biden because Trump said you can't get covid twice....I said man you can't be serious. Not in those terms because it was not family friendly. I literally had to walk away or I was going to show out. I can not understand how anyone thinks that guy is a good idea!

It's surreal.....it's like we are surrounded by the walking dead....zombie hordes who respond to the simple noises and gestures made by the left. They are easily swayed & predictably patterned. The left snaps their fingers....the media helps broadcast the finger snapping and the mindless zombies follow.

I'm not a smart man by many accounts. Many flawed and conflicted thoughts in my own noggin and a heap of mistakes in my past. I say that to say this.....if my thickheaded self can cipher through the bullcrap leftist theatrics and anticipate the destructive course they've plotted for our country....then surely people smarter than me can see it, right ?

Wake up America. Vote for our future and our standing in the world. A big ole dose of Nationalism is overdue and if we don't rally on Tuesday we will lose things we may never get back.



People must look past Trumps rude tweets and arrogance. We aren't gonna be hanging out with him on the golf course, fishing boat or duck blinds. We get to do those things while he is busy at the helm, steering America towards success....as he has been the past 4 years....and doing so with half the boat crew plotting against him.

@flynlow I don't want to turn this thread into a political thread or how stupid can someone be thread but I will say this. The person I'm referencing is of a demographic that is taught to vote democratic and to rely on the goverment. I love the guy and have shared the boat fishing and drug deer together and gone into burning buildings with but we do not think alike. He also does not like Trump because "he doesn't get as much back on taxes anymore"

He also made the statement that he needs to go ahead and get his AR built before their outlawed. I tried my best to keep a cool head and try to have a conversation but I knew I wasn't going to be able to. I knew if I was not careful I'd be ready to fight in a minute. I told him just before walking away that if he voted for Joe Biden he was helping to kill this country and was setting his children and grandchild up to live in a socialist environment. Also told him not to waste his money building an AR because he wouldn't be able to find bullets for it. I'm done ranting now but I get really fired up about stupid people.
