[QUOTE="StLPro2A, post: 3732160, member: 48052"] As the T-shirt reads....."I'm a gunaholic. On the road to recovery. Oops...my bad. This really is the road to the local gun shop to buy another gun." Patiently...nah...I'm lying....like a kid on Christmas Eve.....not being patient....waiting for shipment of SRM 1216 FDE semi-auto semi-bullpup shotgun....four tube removable magazine...16 + 1. It's kinda like my IWI TS-12 (full bullpup three tube 15+1 fixed) with the magazine feature I wish the IWI had. Found on LGS Clearance Shelf a NIB Crimson Trace red laser grip "mahagony" flavor LG-408 for a NIB Kimber 9mm stainless SOLO I bought and never took out of box. (I run this laser grip on several Kimbers with great pleasure, success.) Mated up perfectly and looks fantastic. SOLO is striker fired mini-1911 style, not reliable enough (hence, discontinued) to bet my life on, but just looks like I need it. Feels sweet; looks great. Paid $100 + tax for laser. CT MSRP was well over $300 as I recall. Kimber closed them out when SOLO was discontinued, at $220 + shipping. Wandering between LGSs looking for good deals is city time rendition of hunting....never know what one will bag. :) :) :) Picked up a pre-owned (that's nicer than used... :) :) :) ) looks barely fired Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle at LGS last week. Stainless metal and very nice wooden stock with really nice high gloss finish. Only two very small stock dings on right side of grip. Stock looks factory, but does not have the sling stud/swivel on the bottom rear of the stock. Has the stainless sling swivel/loop on the fore end metal as normal. Don't think I've ever seen one without the stud/swivel on stock. Factory Aw ****, maybe?? Paid more than I wanted to pay, but they are over $1300 new now. And, I'm at that point in life where money doesn't mean anything....a resource replenishing faster than I can spend it. Possibly need a wifey to help out. Naw, been there, done that. Wifey deceased...with her 30yrs; without 21yrs. I'd give everything I'll ever have to have her back to help spend my money, but not a penny for a new one to have to break in correctly. To paraphrase Paul Newman's old adage, "After having filet mignon for 30yrs, can't settle for hamburger now." Plenty of money and no adult supervision in my life. Some days it is a hoot. But, most days just lonely. :) :) :) Oops, time to hit the gun shops. Next time, maybe relate about my Barrett collection. Going to Barrett in TN for a week in May. Don't get any ideas about hitting my house while out of town. Really high end triple security systems. Only couple defensive guns live there. Everything else are at my rural farm properties or in the vault of the retired bank we bought primarily for the vault, remainder renovated into a guys' play house. Out... [/QUOTE]
