Get the ammo while you can! smile The socialist regime is sure to attack the firearms and ammunition industries, trying to dry it up.

I just picked up 400 rounds of 22@Walmart for about $60. CCI Stinger stuff, not the 525 round bricks, unfortunately. But ammo is ammo these days smirk

Also picked up 500 .277 90gr Speer Gold Dots ($84) for the 3 SPCs in the house, and 200 70gr .224 Sierras ($31), and six 308 mags for $15 each at Midway. I haven't bought anything like that for a few months. I have been building my reloading bench, and realized how few bullets I have of some calibers....I spent more than I ought smirk

Now I have to figure out how to sell some stuff to pay for my crimes...

Woo Hoo! Struck gold. M stepson is in Texarkana workin (UP Rail Road) and found some 12ga slugs! Federal trueball. $10.00 for a box of 5. Told him I would like 50-75. I also might possibly get 25 00buck out of the deal. The buck is running the same as the slugs. Cheapest I’ve found.

Well, the one local small store had whole ribeyes on sale for three days, so I bought about 50# in three cryovac packages. Lots of nice thick steaks in our future. smile

I posted this over in the gun talk thread but I guess it actually belongs in this one, so here ya go.

Well they are gonna have a little bit less now Tom.

After I got outbid on that Weatherby I was wanting on Gun Broker (exceeded my self imposed limit for that gun), I found myself again surfing Al Gore’s internet.

I finally ran aground, after striking out on about a dozen sites and found myself piled up at a place Called GForce Arms. After giving their selection of Boom Sticks a couple of quick glances and deciding which model I liked, I contacted one of the semi-local gun stores and lo and behold, they had just gotten in a shipment and had a couple of the model I was looking at.


So off I went in my trusty little white Jeep Patriot and about 30 minutes later, never exceeding the speed limit of course grin, I walked in their front door.

After soliciting the services of one of their sales staff, I inquired about their Self Defense shotguns. After establishing that I was a man determined to fulfill my quest for a Pump shotgun suited for the aforementioned purpose, and establishing that it must, of course, be chambered in the highly esteemed 12 gauge, the ever so cheery and extremely helpful member of the sales force smiled broadly and beckoned foe me to follow him to another part of the store.

Upon arriving at the aforementioned section of the store reserved for the shoulder fired Self Defense weaponry he gladly displayed a couple of the firearms I had told him I was interested in perhaps purchasing. After informing him that I had determined that I wanted one with a true pistol grip but stock and Ghost ring rear sight, and reminding him it must be a pump he proudly displayed the only specimen fulfilling the requirements I had stipulated. I determined that it, after a careful examination that it did indeed meet my requirements for a firearm of this type and for the purpose for which it would be purchased. In addition, and unstated on the company website the Forearm comes with a built in Picatinny Rail that would allow for the mounting a Weapon light.

After procuring a BNIB version of the chosen firearm he begin to walk up to the check out counter. But before He could begin his journey to the point of renumeration I enquired into if they had any magazine extensions that would fit in this gun. After walking to the display where different types of extensions were located we opened up one of the clam shell packages after selecting an extension that fit on my Weatherby Semi-automatic (I had already determined that the thread pitch appeared similar). Well after a trial fit the tube was determined to be the correct one. All that will be necessary is to remove approximately 1/8 inch from the front of the muzzle end of the shotguns magazine tube and screwing on the new one after of course, installing the extended length magazine spring. I plan on accomplishing this task tomorrow.

After finally arriving at the “Point of sale” register and adding up the cost of the Items I had decided I wanted I determined that I would be purchasing the said firearm, a 12ga GForce Arms GF3T pump action shotgun PLUS a Carlson’s +3 round magazine extension tube AND a Streamlight TLR-1 Weapons light. I think they made a mistake but I got it all for $475.00. I am pleased so far and can’t really see any reasons for this to change. I hope it stays this way.

So at present, I have the Shotgun here at the house and the Weapons light is installed. Once I get the magazine extension installed I will have the shotgun I have wanted to acquire. This will give me 1 each of a pump and a semi-auto in both 20ga and 12ga.

I tried quite hard to “embilish” this story for your enjoyment and hope that it did bring a smile to your face, if for nothing more than to just allow you to shake your head and say “That Boy Ain’t Right”.
