What the best value, you've ever spent Firearms related?

[Shooter973]

The best thing I've ever bought that is Firearms related is the Lee Hand Primer devise. It just gets the job done and it didn't cost a fortune. I now have 2 of these, one for Large primers and one for small. Just about the neatest thing I've ever seen. Love them!!!

 

[Will Fennell]

Best Value/

Good instruction.

 

[Stainless Chili]

The best firearms-related item was .. a firearm.
A Colt 01091 stainless Government 1991.

 

[bouis]

$329 for my unfired (at the time...) S&W Mod. 14 K-38 Masterpiece.

 

[SHOOT1SAM]

It's a tie:

$100 for a Type-38 action, 6.5 X 50mm Japanese carbine, sporterized in a Fajen stock, with a 4X Universal scope.

$250 for a Marlin 336-ER; the elusive .356 Winchester chambered Marlin.

Hmmm...
Best Value?

Toss up between a Lee 4 Hole Turret press and a CZ-75B SA in .40 S&W.

My time assisting a kid, a new adult shooter, or the elderly persons last time to the range or hunting.

 

[Rembrandt]

Began collecting 52 Winchesters.....best money ever spent was a book to research the topic. Houze's Book "Winchester Model 52, Perfection in Design". Saved me from making a lot of bad buys, helped me pick out some really nice collectibles.

 

[Dave Markowitz]

A couple of weeks ago I snagged a very slightly used factory Ruger 30 round Mini-14 magazine for $20 OTD from my favorite [strike]den of inequity[/strike] FFL.

(No, he doesn't have any more. I would've bought twenty at that price but he had just the one.)

 

[armoredman]

Enfield No4Mk1* in perfect mechanical shape, $50.

 

[22-rimfire]

I'd have to say a brick of 22LR shells at sale prices is one of the biggest values; cost vs fun.

 

[hksw]

Dillon 550B reloader.

 

[Ala Dan]

Firearm: a free Springfield WW-II G.I. model 1911 from a very dear friend,
and current THR member~!

Equipment: proly my Liberty Colonial Series RSC too house all my firearms

 

[Zen21Tao]

Definitely reloading manuals and time spent learning about reloading on the net. The true value is the added safety that comes with attaining such knowledge before reloading rather than jumping right into it blindly.

Monetarily however, it would have to be my entire reloading (Lee 4-hole turrent kit and dies) setup for my 500 S&W and Glock 10mm.

 

[rangerruck]

the butler creek ak mag loaders. I cried the first time i used them.
