Nice score! I actually had one of my toys out last night swapping pictures with a friend... since it’s on my phone I’ll post it up...

.45 auto and this store is only about 5 minutes from my house. Little thin on guns and almost no Ammo. I don’t really need Ammo though. I stockpiled that years ago when I got it on the cheap.

Bigger store in north Little Rock had the same gun but was higher and I prefer doing business local when I can anyway.

Last time I was in Big R about a month ago all they had was a few revolvers and a bunch of shotguns, and no ammo except for shotguns.

I don't really need any more guns but you never have enough ammo. I'm not doing any recreational shooting anymore.

Ft. Thompson?

Yep, you got it. I was surprised my local store was a bit less since it’s about 1/4 the size of Ft. Thompson’s. They are usually pretty good for price but their staff is hit and miss for me. Some put me off with their attitude. I’m not fielding any new calibers but just getting what I want while I can.

I went to a gun show today. I took $1000 with me but couldn't find anything that would buy........ Prices were through the roof. Most vendors were $60 - $65 for a box of 50 .380's.

Bought a good used holster ($10) and 1 new Ruger brand .380 clip ($25).

Yeah, the employees have an attitude.

I bought a box (limit one) of 9 MM a while back and the last time all I could get was a couple of cases of 12G shells from two pallets they had just brought in.

The ammo shelves have been bare lately except for obscure calibers.

Yes, and I’m seeing signs of inflation...

I've been trying to find some .30 carbine for months

Visited a neighbors orchard to see their maple syrup operation.

I made the 80 mile trek to the cemetery where my brother and grandparents are buried. Mom passed in 2019 and Dad passed in January, I bought a plot so their ashes can be buried together, forever..

Sorry for all your loss but good on you to be honoring your family.

On the ammo subject I purchased one box of .38's in all of 2020. Traded a very specific box of factory Remington .30-06 to a guy for some more .38's and some CCI .22 LR. I've also sold a few guns that I never use and replaced them with fewer items that have wanted for a long time. If I remain frugal in my shooting I don't need to buy any ammo for a good while. The main thing I am doing is waiting patiently to get the call I'm all clear and can pick up my suppressor. Got my trust and everything already set up, just waiting now.

I got too many hobbies and not enough time or $$.

57TaskForce - That's a nice piece of hardware. I've only owned one 7.62x39 and it was a Russian SKS. I didn't keep it long as I took it in on a partial trade for a jet ski. A buddy of mine was trying to get an SKS from every country that ever produced them and he didn't have a nice, machined Russian so I sold it to him.

Nice, I’ve got a surplus yugo SKS-M59/66 with the grenade launcher set up and tritium night sights that still glow, it’s a LOT more accurate than the AK is I bought it from a friend of a friend a few years ago still in cosmilene.

I’ve been building a 7.62 AR for a little while now. Getting closer to being done. I’m gonna buy the rest of the parts to finish it real soon. Seems like gun law changes may be coming.

I had mine out on the picnic table yesterday cleaning them up and a flying saucer swooped down and sucked them all up into the lower portal. Good thing I had my foil beanie on or I would have been a goner....

Went up to the Toyota stealership for some light bulbs for my Corolla. Dealer part only. $30 out the door for two bulbs!

[GOPAPA]

What I did ,,i'm about ashamed at myself.. who'd of thinked that when I went to check my transmission by way of the fluid dip stick in my truck ,.I couldn't find the transmission stick ..looked it up in the book and it told me to not worry about fluid in there unless it was hot or something. No dip stick for the tranny,,

[Boog]

I've heard of some not having dipsticks. Also some don't come with spare tires apparently. Econo sedans.

Or 2010-15 SS, RS,Zl1,Z/28 Camaros...(and all the newer vettes and Camaros and a lot more) mine has neither of those things from the factory only the V6 non RS 18” wheels will fit in the spare tire well. Other than that you got a slime/compressor kit from GM... tranny dipsticks can be had aftermarket for pretty cheap for the 6L80 and 6L90 in the cars. As of the last Gen of trucks they still have the dipstick.

[Boog]

I have known of "run flat" tires for quite some time and thought they only came on upper end cars most likely. A former employee bought a new Dodge Dart some years ago and said it did not have a spare or jack from the factory. I thought foowee but he said he went to the dealer asking about it and was told it wasn't supposed to have a spare or jack. And he had a flat.. I don't know. Is that real?
