[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I'm about to go on another spending spree on the EE (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 10/17/2004 5:25:12 PM EDT

I am don't know if I can match September, cause the ban ended then, but I'll try.
I dropped X g's in August and X$ in September....
I don't regret ONE SINGLE CENT, other than an ameetec product which I didn't like, so they replaced free of charge with a more expensive product.
I am looking to spend X-X dollars and so far have two acog's (ta31? and the nsn? one), many colt 9mm mags and a colt preban 20 incher on my list.

I'm really interested in:
Long range precision setup OR (not "get both") .50 cal rifle.....
Knives (have none now, REALLY want at least two quality blades)
Semi-auto riot/police shotgun
Winter shooting gear

Any suggestions of stuff I should be looking for?

i have an AR50 for sale with all the goodies listed on the EE.

First off, I think you should share the wealth and loan me $500 so I can top off what I have saved to build a decent precision bolt gun.

With the kind of money you have been spending lately, you'll never miss it.

Oh, and I have first dibs on the good deals for a precision bolt gun and optics... so don't be stealing my stuff!

buy an M-16. if i had that kind of scratch to spend on toys that is what i would get.

[#8]

I live in NY a$$hole, no M16.
But I'm SERIOUSLY considdering the 50 cal from thetruth. That would be IT for this month.
As I told him in IM's, I have to buy all this crazy $hit before i get married and have to provide for a family!
That would make this months grabs two acogs, a colt preban match hbar and an ar50.
that would run meabout 6 G's. Not bad. If I keep it under 7, I'm gonna reward myself with a tanker garand rebarreled to 308 by LRB.

Yeah, I have a couple of suggestions. 1) A better attitude. 2) An awareness that nobody really gives a shit about your "hey, look at me!" post. Buy whatever the fuck you want to....what do you expect, a laundry list of what other people have an interest in?

hk94 clone then. unless those are illegal in NY.

Posted: 10/17/2004 6:02:10 PM EDT

[#12]

M4

1) chill out dude.
2) that's exactly what i expect. it's working too!

And yes I am VERY INTERESTED in teh 94 clones, e.g. bobcat weapons, but the articles on those said that they are ammo sensitive - e.g. they eat certain brands perfectly, and others not at all. I don't wanna spend good money on a picky weapon.

I'd love NV for behind a tripower or eotech, but the goggles look bulky as hell.

Anyhow, anyone have a good reason NOT to pick up an AR-50? thetruth has a great offer for me.

They are both owned by the same moron, from what I understand. It is basically the same company with a new name. SteyrAUG can give you more info on this.

NV should be head mounted, not weapon mounted. It limits the shooter too much.

It's not that I have MORE money than anyone.

I just live alone in a rent-controlled ghetto neighborhood and don't have a wife or family yet!!!

I basically have a near-zero expense sheet too.

I wanna buy all the stuff now that I'll never be able to get away with later.

If it were MY 6 grand?

I'd start with a .308 Galil. Then I'd get an HK P7M10. Maybe a nice Benelli shotty. Pop the difference on ammo.

Plese include a large safe, if you don't already have one, for that ghetto apartment.

Wouldn't want the natives to be better armed than they already are, do we?

I ordered two nice SOG's for 60 each instead of your diamond encrusted gold knives!

And I'm a littleover budget already. Gonna have to decide between the two fals or the 50 cal.

Posted: 10/19/2004 4:26:04 PM EDT

[#39]

And the guns are all in my suburban home in Nassau County.

Each is locked through the ejection port
all are locked together through the trigger guard
and they are all in a cheap gun safe.

I am moving the bulk of them to a self-storage space simply for space reasons!

You need a TA31. You just don't know it yet.

I think a .50 will extend your capability more than a sniper set up. A good .50 is great long range rifle anyway. Besides, they will be banned first.

I love my little Kershaw knife. I carry it everywhere and it only takes one hand to open and lock. I envsion that could be handy if a dog has my arm.

Take some of that money and buy yourself a new residence in a state that doesn't infringe on the 2nd amendment. Then you can buy yourself some really cool toys, just leave them in the other house.

BTW, if I had a few extra grand I could get my business running properly. It'd be nice to have a bit of an advertising budget, a stockroom that has something in it besides dust and spiderwebs, and maybe even a location that I don't share with others! Consider making a donation to me!

that 50 is SWEET, and thetruth answers emails quick and is VERY courteous. He's got bigger balls than me, though. I could never buy the .50. I could never justify it.

Bud, you can't wait for next month. You are OUT of ammo RFN.

Remember, November 3rd is coming up REAL fast.
