yes but only temporarily.
i was kinda broke for awhile afterwards.
but in the long run?
nope!
Exactly. Shortly after I bought my M1A loaded, several mags, other accesories and 1,000 rounds of ammo, I had to make some emergency home repairs, for just about the same cost. Put a big dent in my savings. I considered selling the M1A to cover the cost of the repairs, but now I'm real glad I kept it.
