OK, NOW it's $1000, What do you buy?

[sm]

Hello members, earlier I asked the same question, only it was a C note.
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30531

Now you have ten crisp C notes, and of course don't worry about the taxes. Same deal as before, What do you buy?

I had already planned on this second thread even before I read S_O_Laban

raise the amount to an even cold cash grand and then things get interesting

.

I am not surprised by the other threads' replies, and I really don't expect to be surprised on this one. I had/have a reason.

Again-Have Fun!

Well you could do like I did. buy a new Beretta and a Taurus and let the wife charge a ticket to NY city. I came off a lot cheeper

 

[Schuey2002]

I'd tell my H&K monger to order me a P2000 as soon as it hit the market. Any money left over would be spent on 10 rounders and 9mm ammo..

 

[dude]

a nice used HK P7 M8 and two cases of 9mm

 

[Mossyrock]

A Walther P-38K or a P5C.....but a grand won't buy both...or often even one of them. The last P-38K I saw for sale was $1,700.

Okay, a cool 1k. Truth is I just saw yesterday a LNIB Colt Annaconda from quite a few years back. This gun has been sitting in an older Gentlemans personel collection for quite a few years. The gun was purchased with the intent of going to his son in the years to come but never came about because his son never took interest. As a result this Gentleman had the local dealer buy out all the guns (many ) he had purchased for this purpose. I don't really need a Colt Annaconda but hey somebody just handed me a grand right Truth is that just happens to be the flavor of the week for me. Ask me next week and you'll probably get a different anwser.



edited to add: the asking price on the above gun was only 875

A collection of black powder firing replicas out of cabelas catalog.

/Montgomery burns voice/ Excellent.........

 

[cool45auto]

Another Beretta, this time a 92FS, and more ammo.

 

[Fly320s]

I might go for the new Berreta Cx4 Storm carbine. Looks like fun.

A grand aye?Well now,time to pick out something i would never buy normaly.
Lets see Mr. salesperson,i'll have that Raging bull in 454,no,no wait,that 500 mag,no,no,that dae woo,..no...that srh in 480,..no.......got any snubbies in 50 bmg?........

 

[280PLUS]

well,,,

while i was looking at the $849 .308 remmy 700 bull barrel an old guy pointed a cz 7.62 carbine out to me that was only $549, it is a very sweet rifle

deciscions, deciscions,,,

can we get another raise?



"snubbies in .50 bmg"

LMAO

 

[Jack19]

DSA FAL.

 

[ACP230]

I'd buy a Ruger Red Label in 28 gauge. With the few bucks left I'd get some 28 gauge ammo.

If no Ruger 28 gauge was available I'd look for a long-barrelled Smith 657 and a nickeled M57. Those would fill out my collection of .41 Magnums nicely.

 

[stevelyn]

I'll try and go for a two fer deal with something on my wish list. An IZH-27 stack-barrel and a Lyman Great Plains Hunter, or an 1895 Marlin. Either combo should put me at about $1000. Mebbe I can talk my pet gun dealer down on the price and get a box of famfire ammo for each thrown in.

 

[lee n. field]

reloading consumables. A progressive press. A serious rifle, and ammo for same.

Instruction. Most classes tend to be expensive and far away, and 1K FRN would certainly help with that.

 

[genie]

i think the msrp is a bit higher, but here's hoping i could get a ds arms fal for a cool grand!

or perhaps a beretta 391 semiautomatic shotgun and the leftover cash for cartridges. quite possibly the softest shooting shotgun i know of. with light target loads, it would make a great addition to introduce new shooters to shotgun sports and i would enjoy it greatly as well.

decisions decisions....

 

[45R]

Lots of Sigs or a M1A.

 

[ddj8052]

kmber tactical pro II and any left over would go towards mags and/or ammo.

 

[Bruce H]

Ten cases of Wolf 7.62X39 122gr. HP and spend the rest on SKS firing pins.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Now I get an HK P7M8, or a really nice 28-gauge stack barrel shotgun.

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

Kimber Eclipse

 

[10-Ring]

$1000?? Well, I'd go look for a deal on another HK P7.

 

[geojap]

I second the vote for a DS Arms FAL. Their STG-58 carbine.

I would do that in a heartbeat if I had another $1000 in my pocket right now.

 

[Pebcac]

A really, really well-kept GI 1911, "grandpa's pistol from the war" kind of thing. And/or another (again, well-kept) M1 Carbine. Maybe a Garand. After the firearm is picked out, probably ammo and cleaning supplies with what's left.

This is, of course, assuming that I'd already spent the $100 from the first thread.
