By that I mean, how much have you spent directly due to discussions here at ARFCOM?
In the past few years I have bought the following directly due to being here.
4 (more) SAR-1's
1 (more) SAR-2
2 (more) MAK-90's
12 RSA trigger groups
13 RSA retainer plates
2 Kreb AK peep sights
1 RSA Mojo sight (SKS)
4 Romy FSB's
4 Romy AK-74 muzzle breaks
1 PO 3.5 X 21 scope (thanks for selling me a broken scope and refusing to do anything about it K-Var)
9 K-Var polymer stock sets
3 Kobras
2 Mag. cinches
~6K (more) rounds of 7.62 X 39
~12K (more) 5.45
1 AK-74 Bulgy kit
2 OOW 5.45 recivers
1 PSOP 4X scope
1 PSO 8X scope
Probably some other stuff that I can't think off. This does not include expanding my Mauser collection at the same time. ($ ouch)
What I have gained. Good compnay, good conversation, so really fun arguements, good friends, and a wealth of information.
PS, Campy my wife still hates you, but the people at Visa want to give you a medal.
