Very nice looking rifle!!

So if you have X amount of ammo/accessories should I have something documented with that dollar amount (or close to it) since they will be under personal possession in the homeowner policy?

I talked to a good friend of mine and he has extra coverage through State Farm as well. He wasn't sure how much since his wife set it up, but I reminded him that some plans may require updating as his collection grow as far as coverage. I'm of the opinion at this point that the NRA plus package will keep me from going in and getting those eye rolls locally. Probably going this route.

  I guess I'm glad they're selling that fast, except that you'd think they'd be coming in as fast as they sell them. Oh well, hopefully someone has one when I go look. Glad you were able to find one even though you're not crazy about the color. Maybe it'll grow on ya.

Nice, congratulations. Glock 19 is next pistol I'm buying. 

:clap:  I can almost picture "Mildred" looking at the passenger saying that HAHA

That's a good'n right there! 

  We have Farm Bureau so I'll check and see what the deal is with them. I went on to the NRA website and checked the ArmsCare Plus package. For $10,000 it was right at a $100 and $15,000 ran about $150-$170 per year. Not too bad considering and extra info only needed on firearms over $2500.   That's what I was wondering on too (Copy in lockbox). I was planning on putting a copy on a thumb drive and having my Dad keep a copy in case my other copies weren't available to me.

  I hadn't really even considered the insurance covering ammo/mags/accessories. What an oversight that would have been! Thanks.

:lol:

I finally pulled everything (firearms) out and documented make, model, caliber, and serial number. I have multiple security measures in place to keep them safe but fire is also a worry. I took pictures in group fashion but do you guys take individual pictures with the above info readable? I made an excel spreadsheet so I can add to it/update as needed. I'm so glad I finally did this and hope to never need it. But it also got me thinking about something else. I remember quite a while ago there was a conversation on here about extra firearm insurance. Possibly through NRA and I think a couple more options were mentioned? My homeowners insurance will pay enough to make me wish I'd done this sooner, and not come close at all to helping me replace them. Any ideas are welcome. And if you haven't done this, maybe my doing it will motivate you to not procrastinate any longer and get to it :lol:

Okay, thanks for the heads up

You're welcome! And thanks TDR!

Could I get that at Hobby Lobby or similar craft store? Or is it common at Lowe's/Home Depot as well?

I wish!! Haha Thanks guys, I'm gonna look around at work today and see if we have any thin pieces of foam I can use to separate the top and bottom pieces of pluck foam. That's the only thing it didn't come with and I don't want things on top layer rubbing items in the bottom. Not a big deal, easy to fix.

Calm down, it's not a gun. She said it's my job to buy the weapons....that said, she provided something to carry them in! It's a Plano Tactical 108031 AW Extra Large Pistol Case. She got it for right at $75. Seems to be designed to turn 2 pistols in alternating fashion (2 on top layer and 2 on bottom layer). But I'm going to pick up another slim piece of foam and make one layer for magazines/accessories and the other for pistols. Well, that's where I'm at anyway. I only have a couple of pictures but it's just because I was excited to show it off. I'll take a few more detailed pictures when the girls aren't trying to go to sleep as the dogs bark because I'm up making noise. :lol: This thing is BIG! It has 4 heavy dual stage locking latches, two of which lock. They provide 2 keys of course. It also has padlock tabs for airline compliance. The o-ring seems pretty well made and of decent thickness. There are two pluck-able layers of high density foam, and they are about 2 inches thick each I believe. In the bottom of the case there is a smaller and thinner piece of removable foam that fits the section of the case that is of a smaller than OAD of the case. There is also a pressure relief valve in the back of the case wall. What I did may not be what everyone does, but I plucked out the size per pistol first. Then the piece I removed, I cut in half with my knife and re-inserted back into the hole. I did that to decrease the distance from the foam each pistol laid on and the one that pressed on the top of it when closing the lid. I doubt very seriously that a little bouncing in between foam would "hurt" anything, but it's what I thought would work better. I'm still in thinking mode about how I'll finish it off. I don't want to rush and then come up with a better plan next week. All in all it is a very nice case and I'm very happy with it. See? I told you I was excited!

Not that I've paid attention to, but I just got a bunch of it. So I'll check the bolt afterwards. I know it's always shot good, with zero malfunctions so far. I wish it didn't bother me so much seeing buildup on the tail of the bolt. I know some buildup doesn't bother a thing, but they look so damn good when they're clean :rock:

Wow, very nice!

LMAO My daughter walked up behind me and said "WHO THE HECK IS THAT!?" I busted out laughing and said "Oh, that's my friend Runco!" :lol:

  Mail me an 8x10 headshot and I'll hold it up when I get my picture with him again  :up:

  It's in KY this year, not far away and I'll be there again as well. I REALLY enjoyed every second of it!

I actually did get to shake his hand and speak with him for a few minutes at the NRA show. One of the highest highlights of the entire experience.

Wingshooter, did you ever get a chance to do any shed hunting? I may head out a couple times this weekend or the next.

Very nice, I love the looks of that one!

:up:
