Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

A year has passed and for the first time in maybe 20 years, I did not buy a gun.Heck, some years I bought 7 or 8. I have alot, and although "You never have enough", I ran out of room in the safes . Oh, I have three safes...Now that I have retired, I have the time to shoot the guns I have long collected. A year ago I mentioned that the efforts would be put to ammo and reloading supplies. That I have done. I continue to buy powder, bullets, pick up cases to the point I don't have room for that stuff either.When I reload, I seem to reload twice as many rounds as I shot, so the inventory grows. Life is good....

An easy solution pack up the guns you care about least and send five to each of the first five people to post on this thread.
That should clear up enough room in your gun safes.
Heck I'll even pay the shipping on my five so you won't run short of cash on your new purchases. :crzy:

It's the same with me. But, it's been TWO years. The extra moolah just isn't there these days. :-( As a matter of fact, some may be going down the road. :-( :-( :-(

A raise? What's that????
I count myself lucky if I get paid by the 5th of the following month, as per my contract I should be paid by the last day of the (running) month...
BUT I have already bought several guns this year, I keep telling myself it's a better investment than money in the bank. And you know what? I believe myself every time ;-)
Best regards, A

I am in fear of my health, so I buy guns to keep myself too broke to smoke or drink.

Plus the resale value of most working firearms is a little better than that of used wine bottles.

Wifey sez it's a scam and that I'm in need of an intervention. I think she's just sore about the yak fat from my 577 Snider being difficult to remove from the patio... I told her not to fuss - it doesn't draw THAT many flies! :rotflma: :rotflma: :rotflma:

Wait til she sees the belt-fed! :crzy: :rotflma: :bigrin: SW

I have bought one but I just have to find time to go get it and the USPS is not cooperating and holding the check somewhere. The guy is probably thinking I am a deadbeat.
