Two more Crusaders are on the way to what are going to be two of the happiest rifle buyers on the planet. Joe finished up a base gun and a full tilt Templar rifle.
MAN, those are good looking guns! That Templar is just incredible.

So I put some guns up on KSL for trade for a Motorcycle. I get some responses for parts bikes… nothing that runs. Then I get an offer that’s just crazy good for a 2004 HD Softail. Dude sends pictures and everything. Oh hell yes. The guy wants it out of his garage. I say “Yup, I’ll take that trade offer.”
But then the guy gets cold feet and welches. Feh. I mean, come on… You put up a bike that’s worth twice what I offered to trade, that’s not my problem. Oh well. Still no bike for the Ogre.
Time to buy Ammo
Earlier this year dang near everyone that makes ammunition had sent us unhappy letters. Basically the gist of them all is that ammunition across the board is going to be going up in price, on average about 15%.
The time to buy ammo is right now, before those price increases hit and that cost is reflected at retail. Oh, don’t be so smug, Reloaders… this effects all reloading components as well.
Why is it going up? Global demand on metals, the deflating value of the Dollar, and futures trading. But if you have to point fingers at anyone. Here you go. China. China is buying raw material like crazy. That’s just a fact. All these have an effect on what you are going to pay for a box of your favorite ammo.
Cheap ammo is now a thing of the past.
Because of this training classes this year will have lower round count requirements to help offset this cost.
ATI’s AK-47
I’ll update this post with a photo tomorrow. We got in a couple AK-47’s from ATI, the guys that have the really nice 1911’s. These AK’s are built on machined lowers, not stamped sheet metal. They are very solid and well made. The stocks look really good too. 549 for a milled AK, isn’t bad at all. If I had the money, I’d be all over these.
And now a word from T.
Our friend Terry has hit the nail on the head.
Facebook? Like Armed American Radio
Armed American Radio is closing in on 5,000 Likes. Let’s push it across that line… tell your friends to LIKE Armed American Radio.
I’m not sure what a LIKE does, but it’s cool to have 5 thousand of them. Isn’t it? AAR is breaking records in the radio industry. Talker Magazine has put out some stuff about it because the bullet like speed of the show’s growth has raised eyebrows across the country. We’re adding new cities, new stations, new markets every week. We’re picking up big sponsors, such as the NRA themselves. So pull the Trigger on AAR – Tune in, Turn it up… If you can’t get it on the radio in your area, you can stream it. If you can’t catch us live, you can get it off iTunes or right off the AAR’s website. Link is over there on the right side.
My last long ride
Many years ago I had a sport bike. I rode it from southern Utah up to SLC, and then east into the Uintah Basin. Normally, this would have been a great cruise save for two small problems. Continue reading My last long ride
Bad Product Idea: The Gun Leash
This has got to be one of the worst ideas for a product I’ve ever seen.
Because getting the cops called on you is funny.
Shut it down
I find it sad that an entire political party has got to the efforts that they have to prove that they are against any and all fiscal responsibility. They have shown that they just don’t want anything to do with it. And yet they point fingers and sling insults. There are few people on this planet more loathsome than Harry Reid. Then there is Obama’s masterful demonstration of his leadership.
The US Government is such a joke, the question shouldn’t be weather or not it gets shut down… But if it should Re-Open.
The people caught in the middle of this mess directly – our Armed Forces – are going to, as usual, suffer the most, bearing the brunt of this SNAFU. If our Government can’t fund our troops, everyone over there should immediately return home. Everyone. That’s it, board the planes and RTB. It’s wrong to expect them to be over there, unfunded. Its flat out immoral.
Top Shot Season 2
Last year I was faced with a tough choice. I was running for public office, and I was wanting to go on Top Shot. The producers made me choose one of the other. I could not be running for office if I was going to be on the show. I had to pick. From the support I had for my campaign, there was no way I could turn my back on that. So I chose to take a pass on the show.
Tonight I just watched the 1000 Yard episode. A .50 cal rifle to 1000 yards? Are you kidding me? Love that. However watching what happened after the challenge… I am very glad I picked to keep my run for office. At times I had regretted not going on the show – but after this episode, I know I made the right choice. I wouldn’t want anything to do with the show after that. I don’t want anything to do with it now.
