Absolutely! I went on a mag buying spree in 1999 before all the hi-caps were banned in CA. Mostly AR15, FAL, and M1A mags. I should have stocked up on AK mags but at the time I wasn't interested in buying one. And I totally blew it on the hi-cap handgun mags. All my handgun mags are 10-round. I don't know what I was thinking. Moron!

One of my reasons for buying, to my family, is 'investment', since the liberals wont take freedom as reasonable....
I have mags and parts for firearms I have never owned, and have nominal interest in owning... Some are simply enticement for specific weapon purchase... |

Quoted: One of my reasons for buying, to my family, is 'investment', since the liberals wont take freedom as reasonable....

It is a familial thing with me...Looking out for my kids who won't ale to buy thinks like SAR's and FAL's and AR's And sometimes, I also use it as a reason to commit me to a specific weapon... Tying up $100.00 or $200.00 in Mags for a gun you don't own is a financial incentive to get the gun. Funny thing is, I own a whole lotta guns. But I only really ever shoot 3 of them... |

Yeah, I bought a SAR-2 before I bought a 7.62mm AK. Always meant to buy the 7.62mm AK later on, so I bought a 75 rnd drum and magazines beforehand with what money I had. Still haven't got the AK.

Well now I don't feel so bad.
Like I said, I found some preban 30rd mags for the HK93/33/53, and until this day, I've never known such a thing existed! Best part, is the price is better than what I've paid for 25 rounders in the past. |

Just a reminder that the Reno Hilton Gun Show is coming up on August 17-19.[;)][;)] As far as the buying mag thing goes, no I haven't. However I am known to police brass at the range for ammo cases that I don't even have a gun for yet[:)]. This way I will eventually [i]have to[/i] buy a rifle that goes with the brass....right?? sgtar15 |

I didn't know you liked the 10... If you have any Norma brass, i'll buy it. BTW- If you ever stard handloading for the 10, lemme know... I know the perfect handload for 180 Grainers out of a G20... Took me 2 years of loading the 10 to find it, but I got it. |

I've bought or otherwise acquired many, many parts for guns I don't own. I've bought gun parts and ammo just because they looked cool. I've bought gun parts and ammo just because they looked cool. I have over 100 rounds of once-fired 50 BMG brass and links, and some live 50 BMG ammo.
I figure I'll either own the gun some day, or use them for trades. Gun parts are like guns in that, if cared for, they keep their value forever. |

I have a dozen or so garand clips with black tips in them, I don't have a garand yet, hell I haven't even shot my cmp qualifying round yet to be able to order it, nor have I scheduled it and nor do I own anything else that fires .30-06. It just gives me more of a reason to buy.

Heck yes, mags and parts to future guns and guns of the past. Even tons of parts for the ones I own. Even a trigger assy. for an M-1 Garand (mines fine) it was mismarked at $40, so why not?

Before the ban, I bought several standard capacity mags for guns I don't own. I bought a couple of FAL mags, but now can't get a FAL. I think I'll just go shine 'em up and dream of the FAL.
Like everybody else here, I bought a lifetime supply of AR mags at inflated prices. Glad I did. |

I have purchased some surplus .50 BMG ammo, and don't plan on trying to buy the gun for at least 6 months. That is, if the government will still let me buy one then!

Guilty as charged: 9 high cap mags for a Mini 30, 21 high caps for a Glock, 17 30 rounders for a Sten, 15 high caps for a Grease Gun, 13 Bulgie polymer SAR-3 mags & 5 Bulgie polymer SAR-2 mags. Now even sadder is the mags I have for guns I own but still haven't shot: 17 mags for a 7.62X39 AR upper, 12 M1 Carbine mags, 24 mags for Marlin Camp 9, 23 high cap mags for the Ruger 10/22, 46 mags for the FAL, 4 drums for the American 180, 20 UZI mags not converted yet to work in 9mm AR, & 60 mags for a Polytech AK47 only shot once. I know there's more but it's late and I'm not in the safe to look around for others. Next on the list is PPsh 41 drums hopefully for an AR, Ciener .22lr mags for Ar/Mini-14 and Thompson mags.

I have a few hundred rounds of 50BMG, but no rifle. I have several M14 mags, but no rifle. I was cleaning my closet and found 1200 rounds of 308 I don't remember getting, and for some reason, I have a bunch of accessories for a broomhandle Mauser...I guess I was gonna get one and never got around to it.
I just think of it all as incentive to get the toys they go with, or trading material for something I do NEED. Sluggo |

yepper.
pbrstreetgang = packrat of the worst sort. i'm like an old crow. if its interesting, i'll pick it up. boxes and boxes of junk. when i need it, i can usually remember where it is. i even pick up parts that fall off of cars- because they might be useful. sometimes they are.[:D] people tend to give me stuff they don't wan't too. most know i'm a tinkerer. must be the pinwheels in my eyes. |

Super, got a great one.
I bought a pair of 1911 combat commander grips from a reputable dealer at a local show in Middle TN. I need the pair of grips as a template. I sent the new grips to a close friend of mine in Bangkok Thailand, who took them to an contact of his that happened to be residing in a Bangkok prison for the rest of his life. The guy's speciality was inlaid mother of pearl grips and did an awsome job creating a new set of grips from the sample I sent. dancing Chinese dragon in pearl on ebony on one grip and flying peacock on the other. Phenomenal., drop dead mastery. "In-Country". I received them back and removed the grips from my 1911, started to put the new grips on.... They didn't fit...., the sample template grips I received back didn't fit either. I got screwed by the vendor at the gunshow 4 months earlier. To this day I can't locate the type of 1911 type gun they go to, they are about 1/2 inch too short. Been looking for a match, if I ever find it, I don't know if i'm going to buy the gun, or sell the grips to who ever has it. edited because it's too late at night to spell rite. |
