Just when I thought I was out...

[dbla]

...they pulled me back in...

 

So a couple years ago I was super into Firearms, and began building a nice little collection. THEN my interests drifted to custom knives, and most of the guns went to make room for those... Now, circumstances have brought me back to where I started and I just picked this up a couple days ago... Now the question is... what to grab next...

While not exactly the same, I have been guilty of selling stuff from one hobby to fund another.  "Ooooo.... I totally need a new Olympic White Strat with a maple neck.  That basic AR is kinda superfluous now since I built some others."  OOOORRRR "I totally need that M&P10 since I don't have a 308 AR yet.  I don't need this funky zebra wood Gibson Thunderbird."

I think every man needs a nice 44 mag, either Smith, Ruger, or Colt.  And do you have a nice AR yet?

Sweet.  Tons of fun!

Hmm... You couldn't go wrong with a nice SKS, AK 47 or AR 15.

It's hard to go wrong with a quality milsurp bolt action rifle.

Coming back to handguns, what's not to love about a Springfield Armory 1911?

I think you meant to say you're "Gonna build you're first one".  I think several in this group will agree that once you build one there will be another and another and.......

I'd say AR, but also mags and ammo. I like to have 5 per pistol at least and 10 per rifle .

I would like to build one for the experience and knowledge and something to play with but where to start an AR build? I have machined an 80% lower and put a Delton upper from Mid South Shooters Supply on it, not quite the same as from scratch. What are some good sources with info; options in the build, what's important if, and then how to.

Day one, right? And then on day 2 you multiply the first number by 2 and so on until you have a decent assortment of mags?

 

Hello, I'm Mark A and I have a magazine acquisition problem...

 

At least I don't currently have any mags that I don't also have the gun for. I've been known once or twice or 15 times (but who's counting) to find mags for a gun I THINK I might buy and grab them for future use and then never get the gun...

Guilty.  :-(

And I just filled another storage bin with AR mags yesterday. :-D

I bought a case of G3 mags for the same reason. I do not own a G3.

I DO have a Colt Stainless Anaconda .44 mag, but I SHOOT my Dan Wesson .44 mag.  It is built like a TANK and a pleasure to shoot.  My wife likes to load .44 special and take it to the range.  I go through phases where I think, this thing is too heavy.  Then I realize that I am holding a .44 mag.  It is NOT a carry gun.  Who cares if it is heavy.  it is fun to shoot and can be purchased for less than $700.  And it has really neat interchangeable barrels.  Not sure why I would ever want the 2 inch barrel on there, but if I ever do--I can.  In case anyone has not looked lately--Colt Snake wheelguns are selling for CRAZY prices now.
