    Hadn't bought 45s in many years and had to buy some a few months back...sticker shock!

    I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

    I still have a few thousand rounds of .45ACP

      Where do you order? Got a feeling may need to stock up.

        Liberals, avert your eyes - I'm gonna be talking about guns. My dad recently passed away, and I inherited his 1957 Winchester Model 94. It was purchased new in 1958 for the frightening sum of $79.95 along with two boxes of ammo (which he still had). This gun has never had a round chambered, and as you might guess, is in "like new" condition. Along with the rifle, I got the original store receipt (from Sears), as well as some correspondence when a list of service parts was requested, along with the returned exploded drawing of the rifle, and the service parts list (and cost). The exploded view and parts list are printed on glossy paper stock and is dated, July 1 1956. I want to go out and shoot the rifle, but it's essentially a 60-year-old virgin, and doing so would immediately degrade the exceptional value of the gun. However, just in case I succumb to the urge, I ordered a Williams peep sight. It bolts to the gun through existing holes in the receiver, so at least I won't be drilling into anything to mount it.

          That's just wrong on so many levels. And besides, the Garand is not "automatic", it's "semi-automatic", requiring one pull of the trigger for every round fired. It was fed by a top-loaded five-round clip (not a magazine) that was ejected with an audible "ding" sound when empty. It was chambered in 30-06, and accurate out to about 500 yards.

                    I stocked up before everyone went crazy and started hoarding ammo. I got most of mine 100-200 rounds at a time at walmart.

                              JSOP you are so refreshingly non PC it makes for pleasant reading. Don't think us non gun people cannot appreciate a fine piece of engineering that has been preserved so well. Do use it if the value to you is higher than the monetary value is not important. Personally I'd preserve it but then I'm not interested in firing weapons. I hope your dad left on good terms...

                                Yeah. That's why people (okay, I meant to say liberal commie bastards, but I was trying to be sensitive) saying an AR-15 is so "dangerous" because it's an "automatic". Same deal, one trigger pull, one shot.

                                Nah, don't think they'd be commies....historically the commies have always like their firearms for all those executions of imperialist capitalist types and armed insurgencies and the like. Liberals probably, bastards definitely.

                                  Yeah. That's why people (okay, I meant to say liberal commie bastards, but I was trying to be sensitive) saying an AR-15 is so "dangerous" because it's an "automatic". Same deal, one trigger pull, one shot.

                                  Now, I'm not too familiar with the AR-15, but with the old Nato 762 SLR, I could fix that with 5 seconds and a matchstick.* I wouldn't be surprised if the AR was not much different. * It took a little longer, and more than a matchstick, to get the damn thing to stop firing when you took your finger off the trigger.

                                      You are completely right. If a new person would have posted this same message many would have suggested it go to the soapbox. High rep members are definitely favored, or perhaps just trusted more.

                                          As it should be. In fact, I was thinking CP should erect a virtual sacrificial alter to the high rep users, and every Friday, we select a low-rep user to eviscerate in full view of the masses, simply to ensure they know not to f*ck with us.
