Oh, important, since the hosts have explained their house rule we should share ours. Please limit the self posts unless they're interesting, will elicit strong conversation, or nobody has posted anything in a while. And no empty quoting. If you like what someone has said, you post a Bird.

BWM: When I bought my first gun I didn't realize negotiating prices was a thing at gun stores. I just went in to the LGS and special ordered a p226 at full retail plus 6 mags.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:You run a gun shop for 1 of 3 reasons A new one opened near me about a year ago. It's closed already. I think this had something to do with it. https://6abc.com/education/2-arrested-following-gun-shop-burglary-in-malvern/3476479/ quote:Two suspects have been arrested in a gun shop burglary that caused a Malvern school district to increase security on Tuesday. I'm not sure what's funnier, the fact that the alarm company never bothered to inform cops "Hey, the gun store's been broken into," or the image of them walking across the road loaded down with stolen guns and just happening to cross the street right in front of a cop. It's like Marcellus seeing Butch, except in reverse.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:
More so on used guns than new. Smaller (relative to the gigantic online shops selling a thousand guns a day) shops get worse pricing on new guns since they generally have to go through a middleman rather than ordering direct from Beretta, S&W, or whoever. So they're frequently only looking at $40-50 on a new gun even if it's $100-150 more than you can get it for online. Used guns they buy for less than half of what they're selling them for though. We have a few FFLs (licensed gun dealers) in the subforum, they could probably go into it in more detail.

A few years ago, an airgun range opened up, and I bought a yearly membership and prepaid for some ammunition. The place ended up closing some months later due to not making enough money to pay the rent. Well that's my gun-related BWM story thanks for reading

Phanatic posted:A new one opened near me about a year ago. It's closed already. I think this had something to do with it. In most cities you need to pay for a permit for the alarm system. Then you have to register the permit number with the alarm company. If they don't have that they will not call the police/fire. They should call the owner though.

It's Augmented Rifling, which is a form of barrel rifling introduced in the late 40s. The Russians introduced it with the AK ( глупый новичок ), which is phonetically correct but still confusing.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Man I wish someone was around to give me insight into what it's like to drive the ultimate edition of the ultimate driving machine, specifically an BMW M2 Competition Spec because hoo-boy that poo poo is NOICE. Hey, first of all, apologies for not responding to this post sooner. I'm at work and can't check the forums as often as I'd like. Really I'd like to describe my satisfaction in three categories: 1. Zoom - The car accelerates so quickly that you feel like an expensive horse or large caliber rifle has kicked you square in the chest and sent you flying into the seat's Dakota leather (with light-up M2 logo) 2. Handling - This thing grips the road harder than a BFC poster clings to their bad decisions. I can phone-post, miss the warning signs of a sharp turn ahead, and still slide through it with no trouble. 3. Street appeal - While far from the flashiest car in existence, I think the blue is really pretty, and the Laguna name makes me think of the trips I used to take to Laguna Seca raceway with my dad I have no other experience with BMWs, or 2-series, or even older models of the M2, so I can't compare them, but I will say that the M2 Competition Spect gets a resounding two thumbs up from THIS particular GoGoGadgetChris. Also thank you for asking! Seriously ask me about it any time

quote:I took a loan from my 401K to buy my Stoner 63A for $12K. Given its value now days I should have drained my 401K and bought more of them. Otherwise I do not go into debt for anything these days. House paid off, car paid, no debt at all. It's hard to put an exact price on one now but it's probably close to six figures. The only recent sale I could quickly find was a dealer's sample which very few people are eligible to purchase. It sold for $28k in 2017. Machine guns don't go down in value.

There's a guy near me who has a transferable Stoner 63, and it's worth about as much as my house. (Admittedly housing is relatively cheap here and my house isn't especially nice or big.) Machineguns do go down in value occasionally, but usually not that much, and not for that long. http://www.machinegunpriceguide.com/html/price_guides.html Craptacular fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Feb 1, 2019 |
