Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Hi. Over the weekend I sold off an AR-15 that was bought as investment, back when prices bottomed out. Made some profit for sure, reinvested in an AR-10 in .308. Original owner never fired it, had buyer's remorse I guess, or maybe wanted to free up some money.

I had a chance to fire it at 50 yards, windage was fine but needed a little elevation adjustment. It's a hoot!

nice score :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I’m really tempted to go behind my wife’s back this week and buy a Ruger 57. Anyone own one (or an FN 57 ?) let me know your thoughts? Thoughts of the round ect. I found one from a vendor that did gouge the price to $875 due to limited supply and extreme demand but with the election and seeing on the aftermarket they can be up to $950 Any insight is appreciated!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

for sure an interesting round with little recoil. I can never get past the cost of ammo though.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

My brother has been drooling for one for some time now, but the pricey ass ammo really makes him steer away from it. Then again all ammo is pricey as hell right now.

I am paying $1 per round on .300 AAC BLK.

Last week at the range it was

Around $35 for 80 rds of .223
Around $80 for 80 rds of .300 blk
Around $8 for 200 rds of .22LR

It adds up quick.

I just went ahead and did last Sunday. I was wrong about Price of gun it was $799 out the door (transfer fee tax included ect) but you’re not lying about the rounds. Whole gun show was sold out, granted it was the last day. Found a local shop that has them in stock $50 for a 50rd box of FMJ $60 for 50rd box of FN blue tips.

This past week I picked up a new G19 to go along with other the G45

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Things have gotten so overpriced and/or hard to find that in the last few weeks I've become a seller instead of buyer when going to stores, and especially shows.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Recently I was lucky to be able to pick up a Ruger 57 and a Sig P320 M17 in 9mm at early 2020 pricing!I was even able to find some 5.7 ammo, though not too much.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Ordered a Glock 45 Gen 5 yesterday. We will see if I actually get it because they have changed the Blue Label deal and disallowed EMTs and Paramedics.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

That's a bummer.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I didn't get it because I no longer qualify. I wound up getting a Glock 17 Gen 5 from another place for not too bad a price.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I picked up a Glock 43X not long after the G17 Gen 5. Great little gun. It has a 10 round magazine but I have ordered these nifty magazines made by Checkmate that is the same flush fit as the 10 but hold 15 rounds. We will see how it goes. Plus both of the Glocks have Ameriglo night sights. First nightsights I have eve had, but will never buy another handgun without them.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Even though retired I still have a fire department photo ID. Would I still qualify for the blue label program?

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Yessir you would as long as they don't check into it. I don't think they would, but technically you are supposed to be active to get it. They took Paramedics and EMTs off the list not too long ago, but after the outcry they put them back on. For anyone that doesn't have the credentials you can join the GSSF and get a pistol purchase coupon for every year you are a member, but the price list is a little bit more than blue label. Since I didn't qualify when I bought mine I did the GSSF and got the coupon. I think it saved me about 50 or 60 bucks instead of $100.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Thanks for the information. I was at a Blue Label dealer this week and saw those good prices. Don't happen to be in the market right now but maybe soon.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Have been wanting a Volquartsen Mamba-TF but haven’t gotten one so far... anyone shoot one?
