ROFLMAOPMP!!

500 rounds and chillens!!!

My God Lurker Jr has at least 5,000 in the house to feed his .22's. Why 500 won't even last till lunchtime at the range....

That doesn't count the thousands I've got stored to feed the AR, AK, M1A, 1911, etc. etc.

Then there's Mrs. L's boom sticks and hand cannons that need plenty of fodder lest she give me that sad eyed "honey, I'm all out of ammo.." look. I hate that look.

Hell, I was in favor of trading Tank when I learned he had less than 1,000 rounds per firearm. That's just dumb rookie behavior.

Yeah they are REALLY stepping up the gun control talk because they think Hillary! is going to win.. lol

I did a Zogby survey today that had LOADS Of gun control questions on it.. I can smell it a mile away.

Buy your guns and ammo now.. because they are going to start this garbage up again.

I see the future this way......no gun control until the election is over and a rat is in the big house. GW WILL veto any of that crap up till Jan 23’d of 09 (he better anyway).

The SCOTUS will support the second that it’s an individual right yet rats will impose another Brady bill if (IF) they retain congress in 08 elections.....:o)

In past 30 days I have purchased a new Bushmaster M4, a SOCOM 16 and a SOCOM II and lots of magazines for each at great personal cost. The rats do more for the firearms industry than they know. Wouldn’t surprise me to find Scummier and Feinstein were importers and jobbers ......LOL !

Figured it was well spent..... I remember having a few cases of AR mags and Hi Cap glock & beretta M9 mags when the last Mr Potato Head bill was passed.....

A dozen mags still in the wrappers would buy one a new firearm. I think it may happen again. I figure the items were investments at best in my future or our countries future......:o)

I recomment against the SOCOM II....that is one heavy front loaded short rifle. The plain jane SOCOM 16 is my favorite. Fast clean , quick handling truck gun vs having to pack my TRW or SA M1A’s around.

Stay safe !

I like the M1A. In EOD I carried that my entire career cept for a few M4/203 days . My PC travel rifle is an old CMP garand that was in good but questionable shape when I got it it. A new Boyds laminated stock, refinishing and overhaul, new barrel etc made it one of my most prized possessions.

The little M1A SOCOM 16 is tanker garand like in appearance and when a flush mounted mag is used it is darn near a clone to casual observer.

I will admit that I don’t haven much mileage on me but a sh*tload of sudden stops in my life and the older I get I think I will go to the lighter M4 Carbine. Aches and pains will drive one to such a lightweight act.......:o(

Stay safe !

"...Concealed carry does require a license..."

Words can help us approach reality, or they can be used to make us think things are so, that aren't so. You don't need a piece of paper to tuck a gun under your coat. It works fine and is easy to do. It's just word wranglers who make their living off of wording have people thinking so. So much so that they will get other people to point guns at you. But, this is no different then some tribes in New Guiney will eat you if the head umba gumba Chief says you are bad juju. There is a difference between law and legalism's. We are deep in the swamp of legalism's. No one is going to tell me that I am in a Princesses castle sleeping on nice puffy beds. And, there is no way a bunch of lawyers, judges that are lawyers and all their cult minions are going to decide what is real. They can force me, but that only makes it so when they have me and as long as they have me. I have great contempt for what passes as law now a days. Sorry if I seem too argumentative.

Yep we are all in trouble if they decide enough ammo for ONE (1) day at the range can’t be purchased. When we purchase ammo we get case lots from a local gunrunner who gives us great deals. I a little left that fell off a M35 when active duty yet I reload a lot of my plinking stuff.

A recent unofficial 3 gun match I used corbon swaged .224 projos I made and weighed from old .22 rimfire cases & lead wire and they performed flawless. primers, powder and lead with good long term supply of quality brass stored will keep em off me till I am too tired too shoot ‘n scoot !

Your gonna have to post a pic of Mrs’s L’s “honey I am out of ammo” look !..........LOL !

You're gonna have to teach me that trick sometime.

And as far as Mrs L's 'out of ammo' look goes, well suffice it to say it'll freeze you to your bones and break your heart all at the same time.

Only saw it once myself and the pain it caused me was enough to make me run right out and buy Clan Lurker a Rockchucker pressand a set of .44 dies as I simply couldn't bear the thought of seeing her in that much emotional distress ever again.

Glad I tossed several hundred Lurker Bucks at Ammoman back when the green tip was plentiful and cheap. AK fodder is still that. I've done business with the man and everything has arrived on time and as advertised.

Hand cannon rounds I've been hand rolling for years. Now that prices have shot up I'll be giving the rifle dies some exercise.

Ces't la vie I suppose.

Check six....

That's the guy.

As I said, I've done business with him and have no complaints.

On time and as advertised. He isn't the 'cheapest' on the 'net, but he quotes a delivered price. I'll settle for that over a slightly lower price and then getting whacked for shipping and 'handling'.

Huh? I don't get it. Are YOU making fun of us?!

BWAH! HA! HA! Oh! This one is RICH!. Lets see here...we've got three "kids" here in the house on the farm...12 yr old, 14 yr old, and 17 yr old. Between them, they OWN -

2 ea - Armalite A-2 model AR-15s (.223 Rem)
1 ea - Ruger 10/22 carbine
1 ea - Mosin Nagant M44 carbine (7.62x54R)
1 ea - Marlin 336 .30-30 lever action
2 ea - M59/66 Yugo SKS (7.62x39)
1 ea - AMD-65, Hungarian AK-47 (7.62x39)
1 ea - No. 4 Mk-II Enfield (.303 Brit)

Somewhere in the boys' room, I "know" there's a break open 20ga shotgun. I saw it the other week. LOTS of ammo for everything listed above!

...and that's only what they own. My "list" stays with me! :-)

Friggin cowards! Gun crime indeed! If it weren't guns, they'd be using sharp sticks!

As Squantos says, DOOM ON THEM!!!

In the mean time, we'll keep stocking up as my 12 year old can be seen doing here!

BLOAT!
