Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

Everything I've ever seen puts out a big cloud of smoke. Don't know if some are less smokey than others. Guys I know that hunt with that stuff sometimes talk about not seeing the deer's reaction right away after the shot, ( unless there's a good breeze).

On box Cavalry Ammunition 9mm FMJ, one box Cavalry Ammunition .41 Mag FMJ, one box Hornady .41 Mag XTP HP, and two boxes of this:

I've really been on a roll:
1/18/23
I won a gunbroker auction for a mod 10 s&w 4" revolver.
1/19/23
I won a .22rifle at a customer appreciation day! It was the big door prize.
1/20/23
I went to LGS to sign papers for the model 10 and bought a pound of bullseye powder and some spp. He also had a 8lb jug of bullseye FYI.
I'm going to a different gunshop tomorrow to sign papers on the new 22 rifle. I wonder what I'll find there?

I can't figure out why there were no other bidders for a Very-discounted FAL built & assembled with the same licensed Belgian FN tooling used on their select-fire rifles, in the Imbel plant in Brazil, contracted for Springfield imports.
Has both Imbel & SA names/logos on receiver.

Bid closed tonight. Ad on Gunbroker reportedly (watched by FALfiles guys) had been up for weeks, and had been discounted at least three times.
The low demand must be Biden-Flation + A) high .308 ammo prices, and also because B) Many owners on FALfiles actually build their personal rifles....and C) DSA now sells various FALs for about $1,800 (new DSAs now are Much better guns than during the five years ago). DSA even sells Israeli clones.

DSA reps admitted having had “Staff ‘ Issues’ “ about five years ago…… Again- that was solved and they Also began producing Fewer rifles.—

This is “NOS", "unfired (possibly)", "all-matching" with serial # and photos to prove it. The SAR-4800 (forged receiver) was the post-ban name for the pre-ban SAR-48.

Check Gunbroker Advanced, then Completed Items (enter SAR-4800: item 965254074). No other bidders mostly due to high ammo prices? This was well under '3'. Makes no sense.

Got two boxes of Norma 6.5 PRC at the gunshow this weekend! Should be good reloading brass! I traded ~450rds of 7.62x39 I wasn't ever going to shoot for it.

.41 Magnum is hard to come by so I went back and grabbed two more boxes of the Precision One 41 Magnum (post 5277 above), but this time one is JHP. Also Fusion JHP box of 20. So now I have 240 rounds on hand. At least the Fusion appears to be hollow point but it is pretty shallow:

My Midway order arrived tonight. 10 MTM 100 round boxes for 223 and 2 boxes of Sierra 150 grain ProHunters. (their limit was 2)

Drop Tine 3-9x40 .22lr scope, carbine case and Chinese bakelite SKS handguard,

A couple of Glock mags for my PC charger, three boxes of elusive .35REM, and a boresighter.

I attended a gun show today. Several people had different things I needed, desperately. As I had money, i bought them.

In order, three boxes of Tula 7.62x39mm Ammunition. With heavy - 154 grain - soft point bullets. I hate the thought of going out in the cold, but I am set to hunt a deer.
A Duetsche Werk product of Heinrich Ortgies' design in that most manly of calibers, 6.35mm Browning.
A third good soul had and sold me a Manurhin licensed copy of a Walther PP (in 7.65mm, of course).

My good friend with me thought I was near to overdose and took me out of the show.

I got two sets of detachable sling swivels, two 8-round Kimber .45 ACP 1911 mags and three rifle slings.

Tomorrow I am going to haunt an LGS or two and see what is in the consignment displays.

Stay safe.

For my newly acquired 1969 S&W N-frame Model 28-2 .41 Magnum revolver. Made in USA too (the brushes . . . and the gun of course)!

1000 rounds CCI Mini Mags and 400 rounds American Eagle 115 gr 9mm FMJ.

Eight more boxes of these (to add to my 5 boxes) since I just bought a second 45 Ackpee gun.
Palmetto clearance $10.99 a box.

1k Acme coated 9mm bullets ordered. For some reason the 124gr NLG 9mm are no longer available. I ordered the 125gr NLG and they only come in a dark green HiTek coating. I guess dark green is more tactical?

Picked up two plastic ammo cans at my local pawn shop, a 50 and a 30, paid $10 cash.

A couple of cheap carbine bags, since my range said, "No more naked guns!"

The Bernalillio County range requires all firearms be in cases.

My local indoor range has the same rule. All guns must be cased and carried to the firing line and then loaded.

Got one of these here M1A scope mounts...label mentions something about "reproductive harm". Does that mean i can't reproduce good range results???

No it just means you have to shoot blanks.

Archie:

I was Relieved to read that your personal, “cult deprogrammer” saved you from the gun show!

That Manurhin PP (-French-, but proofed in W. Germany) must be pretty rare these days.

Ordered another magazine for my B14R. It will probably get here before I get my rifle back from Bergara.

(2) three slot half inch pic riser mounts. And a set of "look at me sights" (middle finger front sight and the ok gesture for the rear)for the wife's ar12 style shotgun. She thought they're funny and I figure what the heck if it gets her more into the world of firearms.
