Or if you dont plan on swimming with it get the H1 which is the same optic without the underwater capability. You can find them used for around $450 in a qd mount, not much more than a PRO. I have a couple PRO's btw and think they are the best bang for the buck out there.

Just got shipping confirmation.

I've never had issues with it, ran it through my M&P, Glock, HK, and Sig.

I shoulda posted its 242 shipped if you have the membership. If you sign up for the $25 membership it gives you free shipping though plus you can use the coupon I posted. Also should have said the coupon code I posted gives you a $15 gift certificate they send in the mail in a week or two.

Just picked up a case of S&B brass cased 9mm ammo from Sportsmans Guide for $242 shipped after using coupon SG3008. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=1529921&CJ=1&cjaffilid=4084797&cjaffsite=adrian+laza&cjadv=CJTSGUSA&cjadvid=1522857&utm_source=adrian+laza&utm_medium=CJ&utm_campaign=SPG+Product+Catalog+-+SportsmansGuide.com Good luck!

Please post a link. Penguins are awesome and if they are plotting a takeover of any given area I would like to know.

This thing would be best suited mounted on a motorcycle in a zombie movie.

I dont see how that could be remotely comfortable to shoot.

LOL

Lol, I was just making a stop on the way to a work related function. As it was I showed up late due to spending too much time there. Totally worth it though. Also to piggyback on Maxim's post, he is right that some used firearms seemed high, and others very low. If I had an entire afternoon and wanted to expend a considerable amount of cash I could have purchased probably a dozen rifles worth twice as much as they were tagged at. Maybe next time...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Here is an example for you, I was thinking about bidding on this but didn't. Would this have been a decent deal? Says original matching Colt from WW1 era. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=369249911

Ammo seemed to be on par with buying it at a Dicks or other sporting goods store. It is higher than buying online but not terrible. They did have a lot of oddball calibers though, so if you need something not run of the mill it's probably there.

One of the associates was talking to a customer about reloading and he pointed over to the only empty shelves in the section. Said that they had been getting most supplies in but absolutely no powder whatsoever recently.

They did have about 3 full counters full of scopes. They also had a table set out on the floor full of used scopes and sights. I just don't know enough about glass to tell what would of been a good deal or not. They will buy anything firearm or archery related as well. They had a whole setup in the middle of the firearm section dedicated to buying ppls stuff. I watched em take in about a half dozen guns in the hour I was there.

I was travelling for work this week and stumbled upon this place, the Kittery Trading Post, in Kittery Maine. Yes it's out very far away but I was so blown away by it that I had to post here in case anyone ever finds themselves in the area. http://www.kitterytradingpost.com/ It is a store roughly the size of a Dick's or Bass Pro Shop but it is privately owned and they carry everything from hunting, fishing, camping, kayaking, apparel, pretty much everything you can think of outdoors they have it and at good prices. They also have about 20k sq ft dedicated to firearms. They had what I would guess were several thousand guns in stock on the floor, about half of them used and priced pretty well. They had several hard to find pistols I have on my want list, and also a case full of antique Lugers and a case of antique revolvers. Racks and racks of new and used AR's and tactical rifles, hundreds of used hunting rifles and shotguns in every caliber. They also had a huge section of used mags and holsters. The first thing I did was go up to the NICS counter (Yes they have an entire counter dedicated to just doing NICS checks and they had 3 people just working that section) and ask if there would be any issues since I was an out of state resident. He smiled, told me that as long as it was a long gun and didn't violate my local laws he would process my paperwork and I would be on my merry way If it was a handgun they charge $35 shipping to your ffl, but do not charge the Maine sales tax in that case. Depending on how much the gun you are buying is that could actually cover the $35 fee. The place had a ton of staff working and every single one of them was extremely helpful. As someone who works in retail I was quite frankly blown away by the whole experience. Kittery is right at the bottom of Maine, about an hour north of Boston. If you ever find yourself up there please do yourself a favor and stop in. Oh yea, the best part (IMO) - If you are a hunter you can trade in your deer, bear, coyote, etc pelts for store credit. Super freakin cool.

I ordered a couple to get over the $99 free shipping offer 2 weeks ago. I did not bother to look at the pic of em closely before ordering. I will not be using them. I believe that it is just a pop rivet blocking the follower. The bottoms come right off and thats all I can see. There is no mag block. Midwest PX's mags are much better, or 10rd mags like others suggested.

LOL, I actually sold it to someone during the panic be they made me an offer I could't refuse. Sometimes I regret it but I honestly never shot the darn thing. It made it out of the safe 3 times from 2008-2013.

^ Sounds about right. FWIW I bought a WASR10 brand new from Classic Arms in 2008 for $299, but I haven't seen em that cheap since. Make sure you check for a canted front sight before you plunk down any money. LOTS of WASR's have that issue.

I believe last week when I was at my FFL he had a new WASR10 for $650, and the ammo is about ~.27c/rd. Someone correct me if I am way off.

I have a couple of shooter 1911's picked out for this batch of permits, I would really like to grab a nice historical piece for posterity sake though.

Thanks for the input, I will check those sites. Will be sure to post pics when I find something. Making sure its not refinished isn't something I thought of, great call out!

wait after reading I don't think this was a serious thread - whoops...

1 - I manage several employees who have young children but live at home with their parents (babys grandparents). The grandparents pay for everything for the child but my employees found some state program which provides food, diapers, insurance, basically everything a child needs to live. I am not sure if the state is cutting them a check for the stuff that they are pocketing, or if they are getting the products directly from the state and then fleecing the grandparents but either way it pisses me off. I have a big enough problem with my taxes going towards other kid's diapers, let alone my taxes going towards new Jordan's or liquor for the kids parents. 2 - I just got a letter from work stating that due to newly enacted ObamaCare my company is not sure how our health insurance is going to change in regards to coverage and premiums. I work for a company with over 100,000 employees but I bet you money my coverage will go down and premiums go up come November enrollment. Anyone who wants to bet against me I have $200 on it, pm me you want to take the wager and we are on. 3 - The street I live on is FULL of potholes but despite complaining from several of us I just have to duck and weave down the street every day unless I wana go on a roller coaster ride It's a small side street so the town couldn't give a crap less. 4 - Several owners in my condo complex applied for a tax reassessment in the past couple of years. Despite some requesting assessments based on what they PAID for the unit when purchased that year none were granted, presumably because the town doesn't want to set an example and lose their tax base. Riddle me this, how can a property be valued at anything other than it was purchased for at fair market value for that year? End rant - ultimately all of my issues are first world problems, nothing that will affect me eating tomorrow.

I have a batch of permits coming soon and one of the items I am looking to purchase is a vintage 1911. I know very little about them but I know there are several people on here who are well versed in this topic. I know that I want something original, all numbers matching. I would also prefer something ww2 or older. I know that some manufacturers are worth much more than others and finish/condition are very determining factors. Let's say that I am looking in the under $2k price range, preferably around $1500. What should I be looking for and where should I be looking? Thanks! Blake

This has probably been asked before, but what kind of camera/lens do you use? Your pics are awesome.
