I'm in on the buying frenzy. Anybody else.

I'm in trouble (see earlier post)...my wife said I already have enough guns!!!!!!!  Damn, Damn, Damn.

PS:  Nobody tell!

I'm not telling....in fact, I bet my wife wouldn't even rat on you.

About an hour ago my sweet bride asked what hours I work tomorrow.  When I replied that I have the day off said, "I assume you're going to the gun store tomorrow, in that case?"  When I said yes, she said, "Good!  Do NOT come home empty-handed!"

I SO married out of my league!!

Sure makes life a little nicer every now and then....

The gun show set an all time record here in Dallas/Ft Worth for a single day attendance, AR15 anything was flying out the door, and my friend there said every other person had 1,000 round case of .223. I stocked up on supplies, 1,000 hornaday 52 grn match bullets, which my shorty loves, 5,000 small rifle primers, 100 hornaday 300 grn, .44 xtp bullets, 50, 30-30 cases, 100 golden sabre 165 grn, 10mm bullets, and 50, Wolf 12 guage reduced recoil slugs. I stocked up years ago on loaded ammo, and this prevents me from digging into the primary stash. I also have a lot of powder from the old days, but since I'm back into competition, I need Federal small pistol primers, I have plenty of WW, CCI for everything else, but a revolver shooter needs his or her Federal primers, I'm down to 6,000 and in match shooting, that don't last long. I also ordered 2 more 27 round mags for my CZ V22 .22rf conversion for the AR, as luck would have it, he is having a sale, and I saved 5 bucks on each mag, which more than paid for the shipping.

Ar's were up 100 to 150 bucks across the board,  ;)but the only guy who had lowers left was asking, 160.00 for a naked Dpms lower, up 40% from 2 months ago.  >:(Mags were going for 17.00 to 24.00 for magpul Pmags, with the window. Glock mags were 20.00+. Which reminds me, I need to get at least 5 more mags for my Para, P14. Look at your inventory, and which guns you don't have at least 10 standard capacity mags for, and get them now.

I was wanting to buy an AR10 lower and do the slow build on it, but after reading m58 and texguns thread, I really don't need a rifle that takes hard to get and expensive magazines . I already have 2 M1a's and 35-40 mags.

Made the rounds at a local GS yesterday.  AR's aren't up in this area...many of the lower cost ones are gone!  It was a real ZOO with a lot of $$$$'s changing hands.  Didn't do as well as expected.  Will try again next week.

Our local GS isn't for another month or so, hopefully the frenzy will have died down a bit. We'll see.

I stopped by one of the local gunshops yesterday, the only non-big-box-type, and he said sales have been brisk, but that has been true for months, ever since "don't mention my middle name" appeared to be a serious candidate. The gun shop's AR rack was full, and he has more in the queue, so maybe you guys with shortages can call them and ask about doing a transfer. The shop is the Outdoorsman in Fargo, ND. Nice place, good people, family owned business. Rack full of bolt action rifles too. Forgot to check the pistols - the 2-year old cutie was looking at the binoculars in the lower case and kept calling me to show me the treasures - and the rocks and "trees" (fake plants in the display case). If you call, tell 'em Pathfinder sent you. 

Prices are going up, he's out of DPMS stripped lowers, and the next ones coming in are Aero Specialties (??) for $30 more than the DPMS which were $130.

Kinda dissappointed...struck out at the last 2 GS's....S..T stuff is scarse or too expensive!!!!!  Guess I'll settle for a lower, stripped or otherwise if I can find what I want.  Case ammo is getting short too!.

Well, I was planning on buying another AR, but I can't decide which variation I would like and I refuse to make a decision based on fear of time running out.  Thought about buying a couple lowers so I wouldn't have to worry about the time issue until I saw stripped Stag lowers going for upto 250 on GB.     I believe I'll just wait out the buying frenzy when prices return to normal, or atleast become somewhat reasonable.  I have an M&P 15T already, so if BHO beats me to the punch I've still got my "evil" black rifle.

LIVIN' THE GOOD LIFE

It's gotta be that hat alfsauve, I too, am working on my pre Obamessiah plan, albiet on a budget, another hi-cap pistol, more mags for the AR's already in the harem, ammo for everything(splitting purchases with partners can get more bang for the buck.)

Hope to get 1 more rifle, that BHO wouldn't approve of.

Keep on keepin on.
