Oh Lord Give Me Strength
« on: March 12, 2024, 07:33:02 PM »
S&W  325 Thunder Ranch .45ACP  My holy grail.

Gun Broker.  Closes in 4 days.  Right now my max is $950 and it's holding today at $905, but I know it'll close closer to $1,200. 

Should I start a go-fund-me?

IMO the big, ugly Picatinny rail needs to come off if you aren't using it. The scandium alloy brings the weight down to about 2 pounds loaded. Nice! Parts of the MiG-29 are made of an aluminum–scandium alloy too. Keep your fingers crossed and hope you get it.

It serves them right for thinking they could hold out for a better deal, instead of taking the sure thing.

My brain says that's 10k too much.

I'm not a Ford man but that's nice looking truck. It has new tires that still have the tits on them, so it would take awhile to wear them out unless something's out of alignment.

Yeah...the shortage of vehicles has been gone.  Depending on actual inspection...I'd say ~$20k too much.  I love the 7.3 diesel...ours is still running at 398k miles but the price...just too high.
