    Your post-election purchases

    So, what are you all going to be purchasing or stocking up on while you still can to prepare for Obamageddon?

    AR lowers, Pmags, 22-round .40 Glock mags, and ammo here. I have a feeling that 4Q 2012 and 1Q 2013 will see even more firearms, ammunition, and firearms accessory sales than there already are. Obongo sure is one hell of a gun salesman!

    Don't have enough money for a new gun. Have to save up for Christmas. About all I'll be able to get is a box or two of ammo every once in a while. (If I don't shoot it, it'll last forever....)

    I'm wanting a Kel-Tec PF-9 for daily carry.

    After that I mainly just need additional hollowpoint ammunition and LBE shit for carrying rifles.

    A Kel-Tec Sub-2000 with Glock 33 rounders would be good folded up in a bag, now that I find myself staying away from home in order to get to work and school.

    What Helen said. Pretty much. I'm hoping I can get debt free before the depression hits.

    I could use one light weight 16" middy gas system AR upper, chances of getting it before next August are slim. Would also love two more suppressors, that's not going to happen anytime soon either.

    Aimsurplus has free shipping on Pmags right now. I just ordered 8 more last night for just under $100. Not too shabby.

    Well, I'd like to get about 3 form 1's in but.. . . I also have 3 AR receivers that I'm sitting on. . . I think realisticly I'm just going to try and put in as much reloading supplies as I can and maybe build a green house to try and get a small tilapia farm going in. Maybe put in another 1500gl water collection tank.

    Keep you eye on Palmetto State Armory. They're hit and miss but great stuff at reasonable prices.

    I'm working a trade. I never shoot my H&K USC, so I'm thinking about switching it for a Sig 556 or something to that effect. I need something different. Maybe a FS2000. A boat oar would look nice in my safe.

    I acquired a SIG 556 pre election, but received it post election. Glad I stockpiled components for reloading over the last several years.

    I'll take the new girl out and pop a few rounds through her, zero the irons, and continue the search for a RDS. The trigger is really swell. Been a long time since I futzed around with anything AR related, and inserting magazines in the mag well feels alien to me compared to the "rock in" designs to which I have grown accustomed.

    These days I've been thoroughly enjoying the 22 long rifle bolt actioned CZ I bought maybe 7 year ago or so. Great marksmanship practice at an affordable price.

    I'm not too concerned about Obama. But we'll see, won't we?

    Catfish is about as easy and much more nutritious. Tilapia is about the worst fish you can eat, especially the imported from the orient. It is the highest in bad cholesterol and lowest in good oils and cholesterol of any fish that is normal table fair.

    You might look at fresh water prawns also.

    I call tilapia Asian sewer trout, they make a pond a foot or more deep, build 5 layers of chicken coops on stilts above the water, feed only the top two tiers...they go up five layers with woven wire floors. The 'scratch' from the top two filters down to the bottom three with the chicken shit...all of which the hungry chickens eat...what's left with the chicken shit feeds the tilapia.

    And, while I don't eat cat fish...I don't eat tilapia either...don't like the soft texture of the meat. Let the Asians have them!

    Yep. Buying anything now is just feeding into the general panic. It's like going out New Year's Eve drinking when every silly amateur is doing the same thing.

    Yea,,, If I went to a shop right now and heard some toilet water IQ fucktard spoutin' '"bamas gonna ban all der gunz" I"d probly lose my mind. Some folks aren't worth educating on how we can lite a fire under all these folks just by mentioning "2014"



    I did find a 1924 winchester model 12 for cheap last week that I couldnt pass up to accommodate my 1897.






    Folks, with rising fuel prices + cold weather and christmas coming up , IF you can keep some cash on hand causes theres some amazing deals out there to be had .
