I'm in on the buying frenzy. Anybody else.
« on: November 07, 2008, 04:34:22 PM »
LOVE my Wife.  Without prompting she says, "Dear, stock up.  Guns, ammo, reloading."

Monday, I purchase about $450 of bullets and brass.

Today (my half day off), she reminds me to go get "guns".   I've made out a list.   It's not extensive.  I'm not going to buy just for the sake of buying.  I want things I'll use and enjoy.  So  -o-o-o-o-o

I added a Springfield XD-9....they seem to be a really good buy.  Included holster, dual mag holster & 2 fifteen round mags (not for resale in CA!......love it.)

Ordered a Savage MKII (.22lr) with thumbhole stock (sniper 22)
Ordered a A4 20" varmint upper for my Eagle A2 (back ordered don't'ch know) 
Lots of ammo

She's calls from work and asked how much.   "You sittin down, Dear?"  i asked.  "$2k" 
"That's all?" was her reply.   Love that gal.

I'm not sure what's next.   No need to rush out for the revolvers or bolt action rifles and I don't want to pay "frenzy" prices for another complete AR.     Maybe another XD.  Or maybe, if prices don't go through the roof, I will get an AR lower so I have to complete ARs, one A2 match and an A4 Varmint.

Sitting here tonight, I'm thinking accessories, while she's holding the pocket book open.   Scopes, fiber optic and, halo sights, a few magazines, a second powder measure, hm-m-m-m-m  have to go look at my MidwayUSA wish list.   I could go do the second NRA pistol course so I can work my way to instructor.

Does that wife of yours have a younger really good looking unmarried sister?   :D

Actually, some of my stuff is just now rolling in - upper yesterday, backordered brass finally being shipped, batteries (at 7:30AM - thanks for ringing the doorbell that early, FedEx!!! It's not like I have a 2-year old sleeping here or nothing. >:(

Did most of my splurgin a while ago - have a box of brass I can barely lift, some bullets, dies, etc. - And I haven't even started to learn how to load yet, need to learn how this winter.

Not good on food though, working on that. Got the giant med kit re-stocked - some of the supplies expired a while back - like 6 years ago! Oops.

Hey I already asked something like that in another thread.  She doesn't even need to be younger or good looking.

Well now, I got 1K .45 put back and plan to buy 1K .38 spl. tomorrow at a GS.  I have 2+K .45 bullets and brass sitting around.  I will be looking for an AR...hope I didn't wait too long!  Maybe a 10-22.  On the list for a LCP.  Next week I hope to pick up a used Para P16 and a new Kimber 9mm.  Am looking for an 870 shorty w/adj. sights.  Do I qualify?

Richard

PS:  Maybe a case of .223 if it's out there!  Oh, and maybe some AR mags/clips whatever (are you there Haz?)

Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!

Big Brown Truck should be here Tuesday or Wed. From Midway, More 30rd PMags, 10/22 mags, an FNH 9mm, 500 rds. 9mm, more .223, .40, and .45ACP. and I broke down and bought some .45LC cause their high now and if they go higher, I may have to mothball it. :-[.

Ammoman has some .380 and 12g 00Buck and slugs on the way, and Bass Pro Shop has a sale on ammo this month, so some here and there.

Would like to get another "evil" "black rifle" in .308, or an AK varient in 7.62x39.  B-Day and X-mas are coming. Hint Hint.... 8)

Forgot to add earlier that I have some mags coming, some on backorder, still checking on others.  Money kind of tight right now or I would have bought them ealier.  Would love to have a Spingfield M1A.  Need to get into reloading.  Have some ammo already.

With the other qualities she has, does young and good looking really matter?
