    How much sense does this make?

    Well, with some meme images and a few "Glocks Suck" posts, it could go for weeks on end. And if it really needs to live forever, we're going to need a few posts on immigration and maybe something on alligators in Florida.

    Ok- I could have been totally off base on that previous post.

    How much sense does this make?

    Semi Auto .223 vs. .223 bolt action if I'm remembering correctly.

    Got my S&W Victory back from Dobbs

    Very reasonable shop fees for sure- and great looking work. I suppose you've got to consider the S&W a keeper, like I would a MK II if I paid to have it worked over... I know I'd never be able to sell it without taking a huge loss, so I'd better expect to keep it and enjoy it.

    Got my S&W Victory back from Dobbs

    Very good looking one off- I like it. I've got a MK II that I'd love to have threaded and have the sight moved back... but the price for doing it was almost as much as the pistol. I'm going to have to live with my factory threaded MK III for now. The price increase has something to do with...

    And It Starts With Academy

    Well HELL YES! I have never bought DD before, but I will say that they're now my first choice for a high end AR purchase.

    And It Starts With Academy

    Makes sense- and considering that most of the chain stores do not take trades or sell used guns (Bass Pro being the only exception I can think of... sort of), the firearms and ammo just seem like a drain on the rest of the store. Kind of reminds me of the first departments to be cut at K-Mart...

    And It Starts With Academy

    Ouch- at that percentage, it's tough to pay the people working and keep the lights on. At least using the general business model and my very limited knowledge. But I don't run a business, so I'm just speculating.

    And It Starts With Academy

    I haven't worked in a gun store before, but I did work in manufacturing and know about FOB prices and manufacturing costs. From my experience, the manufactured cost is more or less doubled in the FOB price. Then the retailers more or less double the price again. At least for general...

    And It Starts With Academy

    After thinking about it a little, I've got a feeling that Academy could probably care less about fire arms and ammunition. I mean, 75% of the local store's floor space is dedicated to clothes and shoes. Fishing probably gets more area than the guns and ammo. I thought about this because those...

    Well I messed around and ordered another gun.

    Well now that is an awesome rifle! Congrats on that one- and I'd love to hear how it shoots.

    And It Starts With Academy

    Not that I buy any guns new, but eff them all the same if this is accurate. It doesn't take much for me to believe it these days. I'll make a point to go to the Macon Academy in the next day or two just to see what's on display.

    Wow- Nice Rifle!

    Identify this rifle

    The Arisaka's had a chrysanthemum on the top of the receiver. From what Dad told me once, the engraving was ground off out of respect for the emperor of Japan on the war bring backs... if you have one with the flower still showing, it's quite valuable.

    Second this- type 30 or 38 probably. Close up of the top of the receiver would help-

    Petraeus Has Betrayed Us

    Their theory has the same flaw as the rest... Common sense only applies to those that follow the laws. This "common sense" idea is great until your face to face with a bad guy.

    What is your realistic white whale?

    YES- that one! My own dream, but not likely to come true.

    What is your realistic white whale?

    Barrett .50 semi auto (I should have looked up the model number). But much like a real white whale, I can't afford to feed the Barrett.
