I took the refund check from refinancing my [s]compound[/s] house [b]and [s]blew[/s] invested the whole thing in an ArmaLite AR-50![/b] I had to think hard but not real hard. This may be the ONLY opportunity I have ever had or will ever have to buy one, as they are probably going to be declared "assault weapons" this year.
The Caliban says I have to wait until Saturday, June 14 at 10:31 AM to pick it up. I plan to bring a friend 'cause the factory box resembles a water heater carton more than any firearm box I've ever seen. The rifle is almost 5 feet long.
I plan to make an adapter so it will fit on an MG-42 tripod as a machine rest. Got to get a nice scope too, but that will have to wait for a month or two. I have a mediocre one that will suffice for its inaugural firing.
Thanks for the egging on. It helped a lot.
