I'm retired. On when I choose to be. *chuckles*

Ah, just another I got mine and fuck everyone else type of guy.

What? It's not my fault if you can't retire......lol fucking idiot.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Scared? Of what???

 

[JohnnySavage]

DUDE!!!!


No pics?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

He's like that. He'll make you Google.


So, how much is .38-55 ammo?


I need another caliber at my house like another hole in a Litlib's head.


Oh wait . . . .

I actually am retired, 10 years to be exact. I went back to work part-time mostly for social interaction.

The mini-14 is a neat, fun, little rifle. Put a 20 round mag on it and shoot all day!!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I've never fired one.


It also has the advantage of slipping under the ban-the-AR radar while being quite similar in capabilities.

I first retired in 2013, then was headhunted and accepted a 5 year contract. In 2019 I was again headhunted and took a 2 year contract I renegotiated that once,and didn't last renew it last February. Maybe 3x's is the charm....or until I get bored.I get the social side of it.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm ambivalent about retirement. I kinda like the regular income.


Hell, I'm doing the best work of my life.

I have a kind of bucket list for firearms. I would love to own am MI-D Garand, an M1 paratrooper folding stock carbine, 8mm Nambu pistol, Mauser 1896 Mauser Broom Handle pistol in 9mm, a Mauser 98K rifle, Type 38 6.5mm Ariska rifle, 1903 Springfield rifle, P08 Luger, and a P38 pistol.

Of course if an FFL 3 wasn't such a hassle to get and I could afford them I would also love to own a Model 1921 Thompson submachine gun, 1918 BAR, StG44, and an M2 machine gun. These would be mostly for display purposes and made inert and unable to fire unless I wanted to shoot them.

Mostly pipe dreams unless I win the lottery.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I like my 96 Mauser. Haven't fired it in ages. Damned fine shooting piece.

 

[TrailerHitch]

I would love the schnellfeuer version. Full auto with a detachable box magazine. Of course it would have to have the wooden holster/buttstock with it too.

The 6.5 Arisaka is a highly under rated rifle and well worth picking up if you can find one at a reasonable price. People hate the safety mechanism (with good reason, it's awkward). Finding one with the Chrysanthemum still visible and sharp increases the collectible value.

Good luck with the P08. You have a better shot with the P38.

The 98 Mauser's are over priced these days unless you have a pristine military. I've got 4 of them, one being an original 1918 Wafenfabrik. The other three I've 'sporterized.'

Like the P08, good luck with the M1D and M1 carbine. As an aside in up until the 1980's carbines sold in the $15-$20 range.

Yeah, I've kind of figured that all out. But hell if a miracle occurs and I win the lottery dreams can come true!

Good luck with that too.

True that on good luck.

Besides guns and my Lamborghini Contach, I plan to have an animal preserve for Capybaras, Sloths, Kangaroos, and elephants. As well as creating a HUGE pasture of wildflowers for bees and butterflies and other creepy crawly creatures.

 

[Chobham]

Sounds like a democrat plan to me. *chuckle*

Fuck off. Stupid is it's own reward.

 

[RoryN]

I saw some P38s for sale a week or 3 ago. Post war aluminum frames. Still, I've have one, Maybe next time one turns up. Haven't seen a P08 in eons. Last okay deals I saw on those was some arsenal-refinished captures the USSR sold off. Some carbines turned up for sale last year, so I finally scored one. It was a bit more than $15-20.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Dont need any .33-55 ammo. That gun is like rock candy.

 

[AlexBailey]

Fuck off. Stupid is it's own reward.

The 2a protects the rights of stupid too.
