What would you buy for $800?

[AKElroy]

Springfield 1911 Loaded

Probably at the top of the list if I go with another handgun; I am leaning toward another Ak, I have lot's of ammo for it. I was dissapointed in the quality of the Romy I sold; I would need something higher quality. Maybe Bulgarian w/ a milled receiver?

 

[zoom6zoom]

yeh, but it doesn't take AK mags, does it?? Great looking rifle, though. Just googled some video's of it.

No, but it has no other parts in common, either. Lighter than an AK, even with the milled receiver. Very nice handling. Recommended.

I could dream of a real Colt Single Action Army in .45 Colt, but a good clone would do.

 

[Big Bill]

I'd buy a Springfield 1911 A1 Loaded... (even if I had to add money to get it...)

 

[Valkman]

For a 1911 I might look used to get more pistol like a used Kimber but a SA Loaded would be a great choice as would be a Colt - if it's under $800.

 

[jimmyraythomason]

Kimber 84M in .308 (for the wife).

 

[mcdonl]

I would buy two Norinco 1911's... one in .45 and one in 9mm and with the money left over I would buy the .45 dies.....

A really nice pre-lock Smith in .357 magnum.

 

[hardworker]

One of the new ruger convertible revolvers in 45 ACP/LC

I had the same dilemma recently came upon 8 bills that were all mine to spend. Since I already have a 1911, I picked up a Walther P99 and I am super happy. It is half the weight of the Springfield, holds 10 rnds, and with adjustable backstraps, fits my hand perfectly. So far just one box through it, and lovin it.

I choose #8, all the Jack Daniels $800.00 can buy!

The Dove

 

[millertyme]

.223 ammo and a bunch of reloading equipment and supplies

 

[hardworker]

George Dickel 90 proof would be a better choice for #8

 

[Deanimator]

I'd get a good M1911.

 

[MrOldLude]

6-7 hi point pistols. When one screwed up, I'd throw it away and use another one.

Unfortunately, they do not take AK mags.

Fortunately, mags are not uncommon... but a little more expensive than AK mags. $800 gives me a $150 cushion to buy more mags.

 

[Zanad]

let me put it as a downpayment for an m1a scout.

also, if you want an ak, get a siaga and convert it to save some cash and then buy ammo with what ever is left over

 

[raveneap]

Got this about 5 yrs ago - $700 otd at that time. SA Custom Loaded.

 

[MikePaiN]

What would you buy for $800?

lots of ammo

 

[jeepguy]

i second the m1a/m14 even if you have to sell another firearm or save up for one or get a good usgi m1 grand.

 

[Ignition Override]

A second Garand from the CMP. Mine is a Service Grade.

 

[ScratchnDent]

Colt Commander or a Garand.

 

[AKElroy]

Is it going to be an Arsenal SGL21-66??

OK; I have cases & cases of 7.62x39, and I am really leaning toward another AK, something of higher quality than the last WASR I traded off. I am leaning toward an Arsenal AK (Saiga) with the aluminum forend rail. K-Var has it for $699 base conversion, $799 with the rail.

Any reason to NOT go with the Arsenal????Any reason to not use K-Var?

AKElroy,

The easiest way to solve this problem is to inventory your stuff and write down your goals.

For example, if self-defense is your #1 priority, do you have two full carry guns and rigs that are identical? Have you attended training on law, tactics, and defensive type shooting? I encourage you to attend training over buying another gun.

If sport shooting is your thing, then does your current inventory cover the sports you like to participate in? If so, just buy ammo and reloading supplies.

Use what you have.
