Firearms X: Day 6,793; Nodak spud still on back order

[QUOTE=Mr. Foster;40422043]I have an A-Bolt hunter. I bought it brand new from a local sporting goods store for $599.99 plus tax. My uncle with the A-Bolt hunter has the exact same gun, and he paid the exact same price. I do not know what my other uncle paid for his Medallion. My brother-in-law and I paid $667 for our X-Bolts, we bought them at the same place. I don't remember the exact price his father paid for this A-Bolt, but it was around $515 I believe.
The A-Bolts are older models, and they are cheaper than X-Bolts. If you want, I'm even willing to go around to gun stores and take pictures of the sticker prices. If I'm not mistaken, you are from Canada, no? That may have something to do with the pricing differences, but I do not know.
Also, Browning's website has been out-of-whack for a long time. They add new stuff, but hardly ever change what is on there. They definitely still produce A-Bolts without BOSS, our gun stores get them all the time.[/QUOTE]
I found one site still listing the A-Bolt Stalker, yes they do list it cheaper, but I know for a fact they don't have it in stock. The only A-Bolts available in Canada are the ones with BOSS or some kind of fancy stock, like the target models or the Eclipse models.
That still doesn't change the issues I have with it either, the absurd magazine and the chunkyness of the receiver. It also doesn't change the fact that I'd get a Tikka T3 before I'd buy either of them.
So the AK receiver I ordered months ago finally arrived after I've drilled and set up the radom receiver I found later. I'm thinking about holding onto it as a backup and maybe selling it for what I paid or trading it for something if I don't need it.

AKM or 74 style? If you want to sell it, please message me.
So apparently I'm building a solar oven for my neighbor because my dad got a bunch of ammunition from her while I was up at college???

AKM but I'm going to hold onto it until I finish my AKMS just in case I screw up the radom one I'm using for the build. But post that, yeah.

I'm all for 3d printed receivers but this guy needs to learn about the materials he's working with before he kills himself.[/QUOTE]

Sounds more like protectionism than gun control, same as those firearm import restrictions.
Goddammit, the one place that had mini-Nuggets just got a shitload of stock in, and they're still posting more, but there's STILL NO DAMN NAGANT REVOLVERS! Fucking A, I want to finish my collection, dammit!
Still looking for a decent rail for my red dot and a cheap CTR stock..

Texas? I'm in (west) Fort Worth.
I keep trying to apply to gunstores in my area, but everyone takes one look at my age, and just goes 'meh', and brushes it off to the side immediately... -.-
So the new gunshop here in Phoenix has a Kel-Tec 2000, but they want $800 for it.

I fucking love that video. I would totally do that to my buddy's Airsoft Rig one day just to royally piss him off.
does anyone here actually have tactical kit and stuff? I've thought about getting some chest pouches and an old soviet flak vest for my AK and AR mags, but never actually dumped the money on it cause I know it will never get used.
AK parts kit came in. :dance:
About as close as I have to a tac vest is a 5.11 ruck I use daily for class as well as hunting and my range bag.

That would depend on your idea of tactical kit. :v:
closest thing I got is some surplus clothing and a British infantry rucksack made in the 1940's.
