Re: The Gun Thread
Think long and hard about that one. You may not be able to legally buy one again.

I understand that, its why I am not fully decided yet.
That was the whole reason I bought my dream AR instead of something like a DPMS to start with.
But now that I have it, its truly awesome, but I just don't know that I can justify having that much in a gun that gets used once a month. Ammo is hard to find, the range is always busy, and if I find ammo its pricey as shit.
If I hunted with it I think i would love it more but I am using it for plinking (bad idea, should've gotten a 22 for that) and fun shooting up north and semi for home defense.
Anyway, still just a thought at this point.

It was semi impulse, maybe 75% lol.
But I won't lose much money on it which was one comforting factor when I bought it. Assuming I sell soon though because if I don't sell soon it could drop way down in price when stock goes up.

It sounds like you understand that not being able to find normal priced ammo is just a fad. This should be over with by next December. Whether it's from production being ramped up (more factories, manufacturers are already on 24x7 days) or clowns stop buying ridiculous prices from the gougers. All that really needs to happen is just that. Then the gougers will be stuck with the crap they're trying to sell and everyone will get fair priced stuff again. It's sad that a majority of people don't understand that (not saying you don't).
Trying to quantify a reason to keep the gun shouldn't come from how often it gets used. You bought it knowing the political climate. It's still just how it was when you bought it. Bills are being brought up, some get thrown out. New ones replace the old ones. It likely won't end until '16 or something finally passes.
But if you really are in a pinch, not just thinking of hobbies, nobody can argue if you do choose to sell it.

Re: The Gun Thread
Picked this up at cabelas on sunday. Shot 50 rounds through it yesterday but now I can't find anymore ammo haha. Was just looking for a nice starter 1911 and this seemed to fit the bill.

Re: The Gun Thread
Anybody seen any .223 or 9mm ammo in stock on the north or west side of the cities? I am getting a new toy to play with

Dicks in MG had it when I was there yesterday, but it's the $1 a round shit. Finding anything else for the range, like the brass federal stuff is really tuff to get. You can find ammo, it's just the price.
http://www.bulkammo.com/bulk-223-amm...m855lcity-1000
If you need some, it's something I won't pay per round, but it's at least ammo. I have some good rounds for hunting and such, and a box of 500 556 on the way at about 50 cents a round I found earlier this week, federal brass, but that's about the top of what I'll pay and honestly that's plenty to get me through range fun all summer and fall with my AR when it's finally done. Just waiting on my barrel now.

Re: The Gun Thread
Dad went to the gunshow yesterday, picked up a shitload of .223 for $13/box. Everyone else was asking $19/box. He got a couple hundred rounds.

Re: The Gun Thread
I am sitting ok on .223, but wouldn't mind picking up a few hundred more rounds. The 9mm is what I really need. I just need some range ammo to break in the new gun and don't want to pay anywhere near $1/round.
So AJ, I guess I am heading over to your place Saturday, want to head to the range for a bit?

actually probably not. A sat at Bills is just a fucking mess lately. If I had my AR by then sure, but otherwise I'm good.
