Thoughts on the Day

  • There are few things that Boo enjoys more than a new cowboy hat and a pack of caps for his toy gun.
  • Today was the day for looking at hideously expensive surplus guns.
    • Every time someone jacks up the price of a Mosin Nagant, Cthulhu devours the soul of a kitten.
    • A 1943 M-38 had a $260 price tag on it.  A sporterized Enfield was going for $400.  And the winner of the “WTF” award for September 2014 goes to the Norinco SKS that was priced at $695.
    • All of these guns looked like they’d been drug behind an airboat through the Everglades and then buried in a salt mine.
  • There’s nothing like having to butt heads with your ex-wife to put a great spin on the day.
    • That reminds me. I need to send my divorce lawyer his yearly basket of fruit.

    Be glad you weren’t up here this weekend, your WTF meter would have blown a gasket…

      I’ve stopped going to gun shows. For the most part, it’s either stuff I want/need at inflated prices that I can either beat at my local gun store or on-line, cheap crap, or stuff that’s beautiful but priced way out of my budget.
