Moving up...firearms

Did a Dunham's Sporting Goods 30 day layaway deal. Adding a Century Arms AR-15 to the collection this Friday. (Pics to follow) It's a basic no-frills A2 configuration, heavy barrel, with sling points and adj front and rear sights. It also comes with 2) 20 rnd mags. Haven't been able to find out much information on the 'net about it and the owner's manual is a bit sparse. However, @ 649.00 +tax out the door as long as it goes bang it's certainly worth it. I've scoured the AR-15.com forums and it seems this is a gun assembled from parts by Century possibly from some surplus South American M-16's?

Here's a page from the owner's manual that the nice sales lady let me take home.


If it turns out to be a shooter, it stays. Otherwise, I'll be putting it up for adoption locally, as it appears that even used ARs are starting at about $750. And, the capitalist in me can't turn down a quick, easy profit. I suppose that's one silver lining for the wrong guy getting elected.

This purchase will hopefully fill out the collection for a bit with the possible exception of adding a .22lr. If the AR is a keeper, a .22LR insert or a complete .22LR upper is not out of the question. If it's NOT a keeper then the proceeds from its sale will go towards the purchase of 2 Walther P-22s.

Lastly, if kept I need to decide whether this will supplement or replace one of the SKSes that we already have. The most that was paid for any of the SKSes was $200 and it appears the going retail rate is at least $75.00 higher. Decisions, decisions...

Gone too long.

Gone too long.

As I juggle for time to return on a more permanent basis...here's some Fatboy Slim, Oasis, and some Crystal Method.

All 3 neat videos, for entirely different reasons. Fatboy Slim - where else can you see juggling like this? Oasis - The Lynx Mk. 7 and Mk. 9 helocopters have teh camo paint scheme. Crystal Method - Neat song and shots of Heather Graham. Enough said.

Much to rant about later including bailouts, SHTF items, self-sufficiency, and more.
