Hell Chris, that sounds like the best reason to buy some new guns!!

BTW, I have been talking to a couple of the local ranges trying to set up
a group rate during the same weekend as the get-together at my shop later this year. (I haven't chosen a date yet, though I am leaning towards the 3rd weekend in August again) I'll be starting a planning thread soon

What could be better than that... Working on P-cars & going to the gun range?

Mail those AR-15 mags to me and I'll make sure the springs stay exercised, since I got an AR-15 last night.

Do you have one for sale?

I've pretty much decided that if (when) I get an AR, it will be a Bushmaster.

Not selling mine! Never ever, ever!
Check out Gunbroker.com seen some great deals on them on there.

I still regret selling my original Colt AR-15 yrs ago. The price tripled on them.

I see the black guns being referred to as 'tacticool' firearms.
Remington is selling a (camo) Bushmaster, the R-15.

Same with the Galil AR 223...in fact more than tripled.

Go here. http://www.rockriverarms.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=GOVT1001&storeid=1&image=gov07.gif&CFID=7525684&CFTOKEN=35897756

There are many manufacturers of AR15's but I am partial to RRA.

Also check out their match 1911's. (I don't NEED one...but I WANT one bad )

When .223 just won't do.....

How about a .458 SOCOM!

To be honest, I didn't know a 458 SOCOM existed until today.

So I was in Farm & Fleet looking for some slugs. (I was in the mood to see how accurate the 18" barrel on my 870 was.) I noticed they had some Remington UMC .223 for $7.76 a box of 20. I bought all 10 boxes they had in stock. (Isn't .223 normally going for $20 for a box of 20 right now?)

Last bulk package of 20 boxes of 20 (20 rounds per box) I bought cost me $80.00 at a gun show last summer (about $4.00 per box of 20).

$20.00/box? Maybe high end match grade stuff. At nearly $8.00 a box, I would say you paid bit more than you could have if you shopped around, but it has been at least 6 months since I bought any.

I usually just buy Wolf for my AR as it is usually the cheapest and these guns will handle it just fine. If I was a match shooter, I might buy something better, but a lot of people use Wolf for cheap plinking with no problems.

Purists flame away, but Wolf is plenty good enough to run thru my AR.

In the last month or two, ammo prices have gone up 50%-300%. That box that cost you $80 now costs $160.
