[ARCHIVED THREAD] - You ever buy parts for a gun you don't have, yet?

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:34:10 PM EST

I just can't help myself, must buy before out of stock again.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:38:57 PM EST

Yes, and I've picked up holsters because they were a smoking good deal, and ammo, if it was a good price.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:42:54 PM EST

That meets the definition of "sickness."

Only two things I ever bought before hand were a 33 round glock mag, because I knew it'd be forever before I saw another (plus, it was 30 bucks- and real.), and several boxes of Federal HST 9mm before it went to 25 round boxes for the same price as those 50 round boxes were. Haven't got the Glock yet.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:46:21 PM EST

9mm beta mag....

No 9mm carbine yet.

Scout scope, LONG before I ever had a Scout Rifle. (Fixed)

No wonder there aint shit for sale with people like you guys buying shit you have 0 use for.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:54:24 PM EST

I own magazines for multiple firearms that I don't own (and never did).

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:54:52 PM EST

The early bird catches the worm.

I'm glad i'm not the one running around trying to spend 500 dollars on a lower, because I planned ahead.

I got a full set of GI parts to rebuild a M14 bolt before I ever got my M1A.

I've been buying .22LR ammo for the last month for my GSG-5. Incidentally that rifle is apparently lost in the nether-regions of space and won't be delivered to my FFL any time soon.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:56:27 PM EST

Yes.

I bought a few boxes of 223 when it was cheap. I also bought some mags from chapperjoe and some more from someone else I can't remember. Got 12 20/30 rders for 110$ shipped.

I own an AR15 now. What a coincidence.

mags, ammo, reloading dies

just an fyi, my dealer has 2 of the full sized pistols in stock. In case you need one. ;)

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:57:52 PM EST

I have many incomplete projects that I buy parts for when they become available.

Someday, I might even complete a few.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:58:46 PM EST

Yes, six M1A mags from Armalite about three or four years ago

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'm getting sick of being told "the wholesaler has no idea when they're going to get any in."

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:00:16 PM EST

No... but I bought a lot of rounds for one I don't have yet.

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:00:18 PM EST

I have boxes of parts for guns that I may never own. I have magazines that I bought just because they were cheap. I have no idea what pistol they fit.

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:09:41 PM EST

I currently have an upper on the way, for a lower I don't have yet.

I also have mags and ammo on the way for a rifle I don't have yet. Purchased, but don't have possession yet.

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:10:45 PM EST

Yes , Do mags , brass and ammo count?

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:13:13 PM EST

Bren Ten mag. One day I'll have one.

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:13:25 PM EST

mags optic, mounts slings ammo, I got them all. I'm just missing the 9mm AR.

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:16:18 PM EST

glock mags

thinking of geting some p226 and p229 mags too

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:16:49 PM EST

Hell yes. I bought mags for a 5.45 AK when they were stupidly cheap and don't own one. I also bought a Thompson parts kit and mags and have never found a way to build it. I bought 25 FAL mags when they were dirt cheap months before I bought an FAL.

Posted: 1/7/2009 10:00:12 PM EST

I am thinking of picking up some AR, AK74, and PPSH mags and parts.

I will get an AR...someday.

For now my only evil rifles are the AK, SKS, and CETME.

Posted: 1/7/2009 10:07:39 PM EST

I got six Glock 20 mags. I'm waiting for the G-20SF.

Got a bunch of AK-74 mags.

Bought a box of 30-30 ammo because every American needs a 30-30.

At one time they were worth damn near as much as the gun.

Posted: 1/7/2009 10:15:33 PM EST

Bought about 50 G3 mags well before I ever had a CETME to use them.

Posted: 1/7/2009 10:18:38 PM EST

I went through my gun room a couple of months ago and found holsters and magazines for guns I didn't even remember owning. But to buy something for a gun I didn't have? No.

Posted: 1/7/2009 10:20:15 PM EST

I bought 4 Bulgarian Polymer AK-74 mags back when they were crazy cheap. I have no 5.45x39 gun to use them in.

Posted: 1/7/2009 10:29:08 PM EST

All the fucking time.

Bought a carbine and midlength Larue rail before I even had the barrels, BCGs, or anything.

Today my CMMG midlength barrel finally arrived, haha... but no one has BCGs in stock. Should have bought extra BCGs...
