There are so many teachable moments in this story that I don’t even know where to begin. It the immediate one is: you see an opportunity jump on it with out second thought. That opportunity won’t be there half an hour from now. And whatever your financial situation - bank accounts ain’t gonna matter if shit keeps heading the direction it’s heading.

As optimistic as I am for the upcoming election, I am petrified by the thought of aftermath.

Cabelas is now owned and operated by Bass Pro, which has a metro location on your side of the state line. Check into that.

There are also private FFL's, hell, I used to have an FFL and a lot of those guys will do it for a fee. You should be able to buy the gun now, but they won't ship it until you provide an FFL for delivery. Google FFL in your town and you should have a list pops up. Once you do that, you should be able to dig a little deeper and see which ones accept shipments.

As many of you guys may/may not know - I have predicting something like this for some time now. Hell, it's been as plain as the nose on our faces. It started with Hillary and her comment about "Resist".

It's been getting worse each day since that night.

My bets are hedged......well hedged....

So I am now the (eventual) owner of a new Radical Firearms 5.56mm NATO 16" Barrel 30-Round Mag M4 Collapsible Stock Black Finish Semi-Automatic Rifle. This was very good fortune for me, for the two long barrels I was looking at were an M4 and an AK. Thanks to frazod, BAWAN, and Raiderhader for slow walking me through this, and thanks to Megatron96 for finding the deal. I'm excited to get this in a few weeks. I owe you all drinks of your choice.

Now, to go look for ammo.....

Sweeeeeeeeeet!

What all is entailed with that? Level of background checks, finances required, how does it effect you as an individual purchaser of firearms and so forth?

It is something I have always been curious about but, never bothered myself enough to really explore.

Basically $200 and a bunch of bullshit paperwork.

Congratulations! And Wild Turkey (101, not the 81 or I’ll fucking ruin your reputation on this board from here until eternity :-) ).

Something I’ve learned as both a gun and Jeep Wrangler owner - you can buy a “cheap” base model and customize it to what you want/need later. And in this particular climate that is HUGE bonus. Buy the cheapest upgradable rifle and you can make it what you want it to be as time, finances and availability allow.

It already has two of the first things I'd change out - the stock and freefloat rail.

All he needs is a good optic and some backup iron sights and he's good to go.

We had a pretty big discussion on optics a couple of weeks ago when Vail was looking for a rifle. Suffice to say, DON'T CHEAP OUT ON OPTICS.

My instant response is - “$200 dollars and paperwork? Why am I not having Bud’s mail me guns to home address?”

If that is all it is why are you still not engaged in it?

I’m drinking right now, so feel free to tell me to look closer at the link you provided when I’m sober to answer these questions - My feelings won’t be hurt.

Honestly, I am out for the first time in two in two and a half months (fuck the illegal mask mandate, I’ll shop out of district and avoid my beloved local bars until I know they are not enforcing that illegal BS) and just browsing threads. So I’ll bow to your experienced opinions, until I dig deeper when I’m sober. :-)

During my gun searches over the last few months I’ve discovered you can’t swing a stick without hitting an FFL nearby, at least here in AZ.


You ever do a zip code search to see who is close by you?
