    if one doesnt understand the meaning behind the list of weapons youve all listed there, especially numbere, its like they dont see the reason of investing in gold, land or property, some things like that, especially when its all quality shit, it holds its value for very long and usually more usable than gold at times when there's a need. Whichever way you see the last part of the sentence, I meant with a good cause.

    All I can say - Impressive numbere


    is that what your vault looks like?

    Political contributions aside it's worth it for the included firearms insurance. I think a life membership is discounted for adolescents, don't quote me on that though.

    Thanks. Some firearms are great investments others not so much, it's similar to cars. I'd rather by 5k worth of firearms than stocks any day of the week.

    The internet changed things drastically. Most dealers make their money on accessories and ammunition today.

    My walk in looks similar but with a few dozen animal mounts on the walls lol.

    Jstone sorry for the delayed response brother.... Yes it was already head spaced and the hole for the pin was already drilled. However, you have to press the barrel out of the trunion in order to rivet it to the receiver (unless you plan on doing a screw build or a weld build). I made the mistake of not pushing the barrel back in all the way, so when I pressed the pin in, it egged out the groove in the barrel so my head spacing was too loose. I had to buy a set of gauges and re head space it, drill a bigger hole, then get a bigger pin.

    At least you got it head spaced properly, and its functional.

    Used to have a 6.8spc ruger mini, but wasn't impressed, tried to get a hold of a mini30 (762x39) couldn't find one

    If you like 41mag, check out full power 10mm

    Ghetto shit, lol

    I used to love thug guns, had a intertec dc9 (tech 9) but got rid of it years ago for a glock 19. Same capabilities.

    Is your mac an Ingram? If so, that's far from a ghetto gun.
