What did you get yourself for Christmas?

I got a Simmons scope and Hogue stock for my 10/22. I also got a 40gb IBM Deskstar hard drive to replace one of mine that crashed the other day. At least SOMEONE knew what I wanted. [:D]

Don't get me wrong. I also got other people gifts. Actually, I'd rather give gifts than receive any. I always feel awkward getting gifts for Christmas from others.

My wife and I adopted 2 elderly ladies and a single mom this year. We gave them presents and a bunch of food for Christmas dinner and more.

After the last couple of months it felt good to give a little cheer.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Some mags for the Mark 23, USP40C, and USP45C, along with an ARMS mount for the M1A and about $400 worth of books.

I'm not finished yet. I'll be damned if unemployment will squelch my gun parts purchases.

New Huntind Duds ( to ward off the Canadian COLD)

New lower kit and 4 pos stock to finish the Eagle Arms Lower that I got last year! My son and I are going to finish it over the next few years then it will be all his! I think that it is the best father son project around!

I bought myself some Danner hunting boots last week along with about $7500 in Texas Instrument stock. My big present is going to be a Vector UZI.

I didn't get anything this morning except a kiss from the wife and big hugs from all my visiting relatives and friends (all 14 of them).

My family has decided this year to give gift only to children and all the money we would have spent on adults will be collected at my parents house this afternoon and will be used to buy infant formulas to send to local food bank. We hope to collect about $4,000-4,500.

I was going to get the LEGP Pistol for Christmas but I think I'll enjoy buying the infant formula even more than the pistol (I already have several very nice 1911 pistols). We will do the same next year and this will become traditional practice in future.

Merry Christmas everyone :)

A set of Snap On metric flare nut wrenches. Of course, had to reorder because someone at UPS decided they needed the first set sent more than I did.

My Christmas gift came a little early. I bought an Oly 9 mm upper. I then decided I wanted a complete gun and built a lower for it.

I got the wife a digital camera and some software.

Merry Christmas

A WWII .38 Revolver and a 7.62 CZ. I doubt Santa will get them to me in time.

My wife got me a 6".44 Revolver S&W.

The recoil wasn't nearly as bad as I feared.

I got "permission" from the spousal unit to buy an SAR-2. My dealer is having trouble fiding one, though. Wish she would have said yes a few months ago...

I got myself a compact ACOG (traded a Bushy upper and some cash) about a month and a half ago. That was going to be my only christmas present to myself, until me and the wife found a house we wanted to buy (finally!). So we're not even getting anything for each other this christmas, opting to instead save money for the closing costs. So I guess you could say we got a house for christmas. Not bad!

Posted: 12/25/2001 6:50:46 AM EDT

An Elcan, a dozen DVD's (including FMJ!), and nearly a new house.

Posted: 12/25/2001 7:02:15 AM EDT

[#27]

A Sig P220 in .38 Super (cause I always wanted one), Laser-Max sights, Heinie "Straight-eight, Slant-Pro Night sights (rear sight "low" mount for carry) a new Galco shoulder rig (old one finally wouldn't stay snapped) and a new Galco belt holster.

If any of you can think of "any thing else" I need with this pistol, please, I beg of you, do not tell me !!

I GOT A LUMP OF COAL!

Seriously, everyday is Christmas. My family just get something for the children, and that's it. For me personally it is Christmas everyday. I'm alive and in good health, what more can you ask for. Later on when you go the gun shows and you get that favorite widget and gizmoo, and half he fun is looking for that right one personally.

Wife called up one of those escort services and rented a couple ladies for the night. We went out to the bars and flaunted ourselves to all the drunk suckers. We had a blast. Me with 3 very sexi ladies all night long. What a surprise when we got home. All I can say is YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. She spent her money well.

P.S. I've just read a BATF mandate beginning 1/15/02 that declares the "Optional Laser Sight" as no longer optional but a necessity.
(For $20.00 I'll back-up this B/S to your wife !)

I waited to buy my gifts to me until after Christmas. Now it's time to go shopping! Some items on the list are: Colt M4 upper, Para Ordnance P1445 Limited, new home theater speakers, DVD player, new digicam (so you all don't have to look at my hidious purple rifle pics any more!), a new leather jacket (old one looks more like Taliban hide than cow hide), and a Play Station 2.

I got myself a Garmin E-Trex GPS receiver and the National Geographic TOPO! (formerly Wildflower Productions) CD-ROM State Series for California.

The CD-ROM set is awesome!! It gives you coordinates and elevation, downloads to GPS, prints maps, makes route profiles, etc., etc.

Those who have one know what I mean!
