Thanks to our Comrade, this cheap rifle I bought as pretty much a throwaway rifle will sell for enough to buy me a new car.
nice, i regret not picking up an armalite or two when a friend was picking up a couple over the weekend
I had 20 New Frontier complete lowers I could of purchased on Saturday for $90 ea if bought in lots of 5 but I passed on them and only purchased 1. OTD has people getting $350ea for them right now.
the local distributor (also happens to be the 4th largest distributor of firearms in the US), posted this less than a half hour after we left the store today: "Customer Product & Service Notification To give our customers the highest level of customer service, with overwhelming demand, it is unfortunate that we have had to discontinue the sales of all firearm magazines on our website. Over the past several days our amazing customers have ordered more magazines than we can supply. At this time, we are unable to give a firm delivery date for orders already placed for firearm magazines. Our staff is actively working on a solution for a positive inventory level and working with vendors to fill all backorders. Once this occurs, firearm magazines will be offered for sale on our website again. Due to the high volume of calls, it may be difficult to contact us regarding the status of your web order. However, we will call or email you back as soon as possible with an update on your existing order. Please check back with us often for the latest information via Facebook.com/GTDistributors or at GTDist.com. On behalf of the GT Distributors family, thank you for your business and patience during this busy holiday season!" but oh i forgot to mention, while we were there they wheeled out a shopping cart full of AR and AK magazines and we picked up 5 immediately. apparently they also had Colt 'send them whatever they could send them' yesterday and before the end of the day they sold out of all 150 rifles they received that morning.
Just in time for the clock to strike 12 . Theoretically if it wasn't submerged under 100 ft of water atleast. Delton/DTI upper up top. Took the bcg and used it in my PSA pencil. Probably going to sell the stripped DTI. Anyone know anything about delton/DTI bcg's or in general?
Eddie is that the dissapator upper from PSA? Is that the lw-15 lower on it? I don't know AR's but my speculation is that the lw-15 lower is not going to last. To easy to put a lot of torque on the front take down pin, and it looks like there was no extra material added in that location. Hope I'm wrong, short term goal is to make it last past the current guy in charge. My rifle IS pretty freakin light that being said.
they're still $15 in the brick and mortar stores or $10 each if you buy 1000 and turn around and sell them for $50. haha
Yup that is. I just got a Troy quad rail from some guy for $80. Just finished installing it. I might put this upper on another Lower I have built up and use the NFA Lower on my Sota Arms upper that will be here tomorrow. I will have to see which one is better quality.
i keep telling you guys, GT distributors. they have a location in Rossville, GA. it might be a drive but its apparently a larger location than their headquarters here in Austin. they are the 4th largest weapons/accessories retailer in the US. they were sold out of PMags, and got some in while we were up there yesterday. they have the power to call up Colt and say 'send me everything you can' if you call them and want them to get you something specific (that isn't backordered, or is for that matter), they will order it. you're gonna have a better chance finding Pmags there than most places in Atlanta. Though, i'd call them first being its a bit of a drive for most of you guys.
Crazy what stuff is going for. Stripped polymer lowers going for 3-400. I might need to put some pmags on gunbroker!
Ugh... Couldnt pass up on aim's shipment of M44's In route, M44 w/laminated stock. Why do i like these things so much.:unamused: Paid the extra $10 for a laminated stock. Yeah i paid $200 for mosin, sue me.:diaf:

I'll be getting a shotgun next. Maybe. After a Mosin. I'll also be picking up my XD9 sub-compact tomorrow from Dead Center in Buford.
My original intent was to try to make a bit of profit on it. The margin on profit is a lot higher now, but I'm thinking about just holding on to it. A just in case measure.
Because I bought it at a sale price and there were already prices for the XD9 sub-compact higher than 400$. I decided to purchase it when Palmetto State Armory had their sale on the XD. It was too good to pass up. Well, granted, the prices of the XD were not tremendously higher. The margin was tiny. I didn't do my research as it was a really quick, 5:45AM before work purchase. They're even higher now I believe, but I feel like holding on to it, just in case anything happens.
I don't know. Anything. A ridiculous break in. A ridiculous mugging. Any and all ridiculous bans on any and all guns (which will never happen, or so we hope). In case someone tries to steal my car in the parking lot of our neighborhood while I'm getting out of it (which has happened to a neighbor 2 doors down). There's a small chance of any of that happening, but it gives me some piece of mind.
find a Ruger single-six, nine, or ten in 17, 22, or 22winmag, it will teach patience that's for damn sure.
I've been eyeing the GSG 1911 with threaded barrel. Still kind of leaning towards the classic mark II or III. I have some pmag's and .223 ammo, if anyone has something interested to trade.

My gripe with the ruger is that it doesn't feel, resemble, of handle in anyway like a modern defensive firearm. Great shooter and plinker, doesn't help with training for the real thing(if you care).
I have a Ruger 22/45 Lite MKIII and love it. It feels more like a 1911 to me. I tried a bunch of 22's before my purchase and loved the feel and accuracy of the 22/45 lite plus it had a threaded barrel. My only gripe with it is the tear down and put back together. It was kind of a PITA at first until I really learned how to do it correctly.
22/45 is based on the 1911 soo... now if you get bored with 'modern' pistols and want something 'futuristic' may I suggest you find a Mauser C96. Put a scope on it and you will become the Hans Solo of the gun range.
Never shot a 22/45, all the mk 3's I've shot didn't closely resemble handling or controls of any modern firearm that I shoot atleast. If its a plinker, ruger series is top notch and will last lifetimes. If you are like me, and you want same/similar feel of most modern firearms, something like the gsg and mp22 aren't terrible choices and run reliably. No bad choice to make here really.
