Title: APRIL 15! TAX DAY? NOPE, IT'S NATIONAL (BAG) DAY
Post by: MOREGUNS on April 15, 2008, 01:28:47 PM
For those of you that don't know, today is NATIONAL BUY A GUN DAY!!
It’s that time of year again!

April 15th is of course tax day. YUCK. Make it a good day and celebrate your right to bear arms and defend yourself, your family, and your property. Buy a gun!

If you’re not buying a gun this year because you don’t have the money or you don’t need another one or whatever, get an NRA membership.

JUST A UNUSUAL BIT OF INFORMATION.  I AM GOING TO RUN HOME AND TELL THE WIFE..  (LOL) ;D ;D

Being new to C&R I will have to go get a gallon of paint thinner and a couple of brushes to clean her up.  I'll take pics of the process and post 'em.


And here is one I was hiding from y'all.

5.5 .22 SS in stainless!!

I was hoping to pick up the Lancaster "Russian Red" AK I have on order, but it's not ready yet.  However, since it's paid for, I'm going to call it my BAG day gun.  AKs, ARs, Minis, I love 'em all.

What I will be getting (hopefully sooner than later):

I ordered some of the Rings Bluegun simulators of four personal favorite pistols - the P99QA, the Glock 34, the Px4 Storm, and an HK P7, all shot on my last trip to Utah.  

Because, in no other way am I going to get four handguns in Cook County.

Filthy communists!

R Lee is getting impatient with you son.  ;D  Sorry Haz, I posted this from your first post so I did not see your answer, Mineral spirits works great on cosmoline but you will need some scrub brushes, Best If you can come up with say a 55 gallon drum cut in half, like for a BBQ put in about 5 gallons of mineral spirit, disassemble rifle let it soak for a while then scrub the crap out of it.
We used to use warm gasoline, that was tricky, and interesting  ;D Oh, remember, Mineral spirits will remove the stock finish as well.

Yeah, Really! Maybe it should be National Rob a Bank Day.
The government could save money by allowing those who will recieve a tax refund to take their refund in surplus weapons or ammo. Am I a genius or what?

ALMOST have the wife convinced to get an M&P-9 in HER name for the oldest since her birthday is May 24.  She wants an M&P after shooting a friend's.  I was trying to push for an FNP-9 or pre-owned Sig 226, but have lost that one (so far).  That's OK since I'm the only one that actually goes to the range regularly so I get it most of the time.

Glad to see ya got it HAZ I knew you wanted one for a while, just do what  Tom suggested but take the furniture off first. Taxes are already gone  but I go back to 40 hours (I hope) soon and when I get my rebate I am going to pick up a SP101 and  combat type 12 ga.

That stinks. Working for the other guy may pay crap but at least I don't have THOSE kinds of worries. Good luck with it Haz.

On my way up today possibly to Lawmen Supply for a new M&P for the oldest/wife (that I'll use more than both).  Not using the tax money (it was spent on new appliances/bedroom furniture) but I am using a per diem check from the last two day trip to DC.
