I've been trying since before the election to buy two AR's.  Tomorrow morning, baring work, will be some phone time to a couple more gun shops and then a trip in the afternoon to buy if they have (Tuesday afternoons are supposed to be time off for me).  Whether or not find an AR I will be closing the deal on a handgun I've been trying out.

Contact The Outdoorsman in Fargo. Last time I was there, they had a bunch on the shelf.

No, I do not own the store, just the local Mom & Pop among 3 other big box sporting goods stores in the area.

"HOW?"  Let's see you could ask your fellow DRTV'ers.

WHAT?   Oh how about:

"The Long Ranger"  or
"Black Beauty"   or
"Paladin"

Lets call a spade a spade here, and say what this gun will undoubtedly be looked upon as now that Obama is in office.......

Its an evil black handgun that is not suited for sporting purposes and which has a detachable "clip" and whose only purpose clearly is for use in mob style assassinations and it will probably end up in some gangbangers hand or cause the death of some innocent minority child because of its careless religion-clinging owner not locking it away in an impenetrable bunker with a government approved trigger lock and atleast 30 miles away from any and all bullets.

Porn to come in a day or two,  but I picked up my Obama memorabilia today ...

DPMS AP4 in 5.56

An extra magazine for my Kimber 1911 .22

Four magazines for my Ruger Mark III

and four 30 rounders for the AR's

I talked to the gunsmith and just about completed the deal on the Para.  Would have gotten it done, but we started talking on either trading or rebuilding my STI.

Also finally found a DPMS AP4 in .308, but the dealer thinks it is made of gold  ???

Forgot the best part of the day ...

First thing this morning in the post office box was a brown envelope from Springfield, MA. 

My two free 16 round mags for the new S&W M&P9  ;D

Two with the gun, two free as a bonus, now I wish I could buy a couple more, but everyone is out and S&W won't sell them right now  :(

$1,998.00  >:(

Unprompted as we talked about people overpaying on gunbroker.com ($1500-$1700) the dealer I was with for the dealer I was with for the .5.56 said cost on the .308 was just over $1,000.  Half an hour later I finally got a hold of a dealer I heard had a good supply and he is the one that quoted me $1,998.00.

How about you?

I bought mine five days before the election...I was told by the manufacturer "If BO gets elected, you won't even be able to get a hold of me on the phone." I bought it, and when I tried to find out when it would be done in late December, I had real trouble getting a hold of them on the phone. But I got my gun.

OK, two appologies to make:

#1  I promissed you pictures, and I haven't gotten it done;
#2  The pictures are fuzzy.  I keep forgetting the camera, so they are with my cellphone.

Here is how I celebrated Mr. Obama's big "historic" day:

Zero Tolerance in Wilmar, MN.  80 mile drive one way, but what better way to spend a nice afternoon.  He had six new and four or five used.  Found out he grew up ten miles from me and went to school with my youngest sister (nice part of having a unique last name is that people recognize it quickly).

This post serves a dual purpose:

1.  Bump the thread up so I can find it;

2.  TEASE!!!

Let's hope these come through better ... Especially since there are more of them  ;D

#1  DPMS 5.56 x 45 mm Panther AP4 Carbine

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e330/m58/2009Guns005.jpg)

#2  Para p 14 .40 S&W Limited gun built by Redline Customs (purchased used from competitor and owner of Redline)

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e330/m58/2009Guns004.jpg)

#3  Ruger Mark III Competition Target purchased used last week (traded my S&W .22 a-1) and will get new grips and red dot

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e330/m58/2009Guns003.jpg)

#4  DPMS 7.62 NATO Panther LR-308AP4 16" (waiting for telescopic stock that did not come - I said I'd take as is rather than wait longer and swap out stock when it comes)

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e330/m58/2009Guns002.jpg)

The family photo

(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e330/m58/2009Guns001.jpg)

There were also numorous mags purchased and ammo as able to find.

Now I need to work a little harder to pay for all this ... Was doing fine and everything was a cash deal until the big boy showed up last week, six months ahead of schedual.

I'm sure that this would be viewed as panic buying, take your best shot ..., but all were planned.  Have a few other items on the list that got pushed down because they are a lever action and either a break or pump action that I don't think anyone will bother with.
