RM bought a gun!?

Thanks Brian. I usually live vicariously through others so it'll be interesting to see how this one pans out in reverse. I'm starting to worry I'll get a mixmaster with firewood for a stock. Would be my luck!

LC is right, I haven't bought a gun in *many* years; just haven't had the desire, or the funds, or been tempted by the terrible offerings I've seen out there.

I haven't bought one in years.

Laugh! You guys are something else!

Atlantic just got their shipment in. $419 Plus tax, shipping and transfer for all matching guns:

And $379 for non matching:

Looks like $340-380 is about the floor for these from this importer for the resaler to make a small profit. I suspect FT lima is selling these wholesale at just over $300 a rifle.

I admit I got suckered in by the last (pre cracked stock) classic price drop. hasn't got to me yet, but hard to pass up. I may go for a few more if I can budget it this year, just knowing that when this dries up it will dry up pretty hard.

Don't think he received his yet, or the wifey has it in jail until he finishes his chores.

Laugh!

She was surprisingly nonchalant about this one when I told her. Probably has something to do with the "back to school" shopping she did for herself. Last I checked she didn't go to school!

Tracking number says it will be delivered this afternoon. Will certainly post it up in all it's glory (or cringeworthy horridness) when I get home from work.

Oh I see ever single one of them coming, I just can't do anything about it 99.9% of the time!

A rare find . A man who lives within his means.

Good going RM . We wont tell your wife about your purchase. Well just ask her if she heard about it

Well my day was anticlimactic as all hell. Arrived to find a sticky on the door of the house saying the FedEx guy came by around noon. Nobody heard the doorbell or a knock and the sticky had all of one word (my first name, abbreviated) written on it in addition to the std. FedEx writing with zero checkboxes filled out so I don't even know if he's going to try tomorrow, take it back to the main office, or try again on the next business day which is Monday. I'll probably call the 1-800 number and see if I can track it down, but I'd have to drive into town...and who wants to do that on a weekend when I just spent all week there!??!

I think he’ll get a 1.6 million

...and then debate whether or not to turn himself in to the local ATF agent

explaining that the Century dating scheme is so obviously wrong

...and that he shouldn’t have received it on his C&R

If were lucky he"ll get his gem shortly so we get database started on dated serial numbers on the tools that were used to stamp the serial numbers on his newly accuired fine Chinese SkS's..

Been really swamped lately, redoing mother-in-laws floor and painting, not time to do much but take her out of the box and snap some poorly lit photos in the garage.

I had shown these to LC earlier 10.1 mil /26\

Not exactly what I was looking for, I would much rather have had the original stock and not a beaver chewed alby replacement, but it'll work I guess. The bluing is really worn on the edges, more so than any of the other Sino-Banians I've gotten to date except for the "Silver Streaker" that came in devoid of bluing. It has some interesting trench art, including a '89 date on it.

I need to decide whether/how to fix this stock. It's a nasty crack all the way through in two places. They nailed (poorly) the wrist back together, its the only thing keeping it in one piece:
