    also there are multiple rumors that gander mountain might be getting ready to declare bankruptcy

    might be an opportunity to do some last minute gun shopping at a heavy discount at any stores that might close in the future.......not wishing the worst on Gander Mountain but I do got my fingers crossed hoping I can take advantage SMH

    I've read that rumour as well, and I think it might be more than just a rumor.

    ? Gander tho, they mislabeled some ? on their website once and I thought I was gonna get it dirt cheap, but they cancelled my order. I'm still butt hurt about.



    its official. @blakfyahking @Will Munny

    nothing wrong with buying more magazines!

    you might also one day live in a state that bans magazines over a certain capacity... then reduces it...

    i just dont want to spend buncha money on various magazines from different manufacturers.

    i know i'll end up crossing that bridge one day and subscribing to another brand/model one day (possibly) but for now, it makes sense to keep it in the p320 family.

    ive been doing some thinking..



    i might abandon my p320 rx subcompact project.


    it makes more sense to simply buy p320 rx compact and have the versatility of switching over to a subcompact grip if i wanted. i knew it was more cost effective overall to do it that way, but i wanted the romeo 1 on my subcompact slide and sig aint making them that way.

    i'm still considering holding onto the subcompact slide that i bought. i can try to find someone who is selling their fire control unit (for about $260) and have another p320 that way.


    or..i can just sell it as an exchange kit.


    decisions.

    honestly, depends a little.

    on balance... probably the M1 carbine. zero recoil, shoots like a little champ, i always feel like i'm shooting well with it. but in the back of my mind, it's annoyingly expensive to feed and i always feel like i am going to ? it.

    favorite rifle is probably my ancient SAR-1. looks like it was engraved by a primate, has no Cool Assault Features, but it runs like a champ and it is always a blast to have out. plus, everyone i know has ARs (especially post-2013 in this state) so it's often been the "different" gun on the line. we'll see if the Arsenal SBR supplants it, though, because that thing is awesome.

    i also have some things that are intensely fun to play with (AUG, FAL, etc) but that i don't love to feed, or clean, or whatever else. and the ARs are always fun, although for aforementioned reasons i never shoot mine as much as other people's.

    not really full-on awesome until the mag tube is longer than the barrel, though

    Yeah I'll admit it looks badass when the extension pokes out just past the barrel but I really don't wanna do wing shooting with 15 shells in my gun. I guess I could just get a shorter barrel lolzzzz
