Evidently according to the Liberal Media, the font of all evil is a high capacity magazine.
A magazine, high capacity or otherwise, is a box with a spring in it. They are simple to make… stamped sheet metal or injection molded plastic. The technology behind the “Magazine” is a couple hundred years old. We use it in firearms and Pez candy dispensers.
One would have to be real thick in the head to be worked up about a Magazine.
The hottest gun selling now is of course, the AR. We’ve sold hundreds of every kind, as many as we could get our hands on. People have been buying them like crazy. We are now completely sold out. And we sold over 620 magazines… after limiting people to 3 each. This is the craziest gun buying rush I’ve ever seen. And the demand is not easing off.
If these sales were because of a spike in popularity… because of Christmas as everyone wants an AR because they are fun to shoot, and awesome to have… This would be great. This would be a season to remember. I’d be loving this. But that’s not what’s been happening. People are buying rifles like this because they are afraid of a possible ban and they are afraid of the Government. That puts a sour taste in my mouth for all this.
This is not just here locally… this is Nation Wide. I even had reporters call me at work and home. Here’s one report.
As I said in the article, normally I’d be selling deer rifles, shotguns, and the like. Now it’s all Concealed Carry type guns and fighting rifles. All AR’s and AK’s are gone and all full capacity magazines. This isn’t what normally flies this time of year.
It seems that the cowardly folks at KSL.com have killed off their Firearms Sales sections of their classifieds.
This wasn’t in reaction to the shooting in CT. They have thought about doing this for some times, even floating polls about doing it. Now they have done it, using CT as an excuse to do what they have wanted to do.
I can sell a Hammer… or a Knife… hell, even a sword… on KSL. But a gun? Even as a Dealer, where all ATF rules apply… is not allowed.
I’m done with KSL.com. Throwing all of us honest, law abiding gun owners under the bus… This is shameful. KSL, you are pathetic.
I’ve never seen gun-sales like today. It’s been busy since Black Friday, and really busy all week. But I’ve never seen it like today. We broke records. We completely sold out of all AR rifles. They are gone. Done.
We have more on order, but I don’t think we will ever have the AR stockpile like we had before… They are going to trickle in and be sold before they hit the shelves.
All of our 5.56mm/.223 ammo in 50 round packs or larger is all gone as well.
I still have .223 Remington in 20 round boxes… your Varmageddon, V-Max and Ballistic Silvertips, and that’s it.
I’ve never seen anything like this.
Edit: To give you guys an idea of the volume I’m talking about… When it comes to inventory, Basin Sports is one of the biggest new gun dealers not just in the state of Utah, but in the western states. We had one hell of an inventory of tactical rifles. Yeah… they are all gone now.
Make a classic Philly Cheesesteak.
Stuff in yellow banana peppers, olives, and mushrooms.
Throw on some bacon. None of that Canadian shit.
Dredge that in beer-batter made with Amber Boch, or Shock Top.
Deep fry till GBD.
Serve with a Gatorbull to wash it down.
Genius Level Grub.
Dick’s Sporting Goods is pulling semi auto rifle sales.
Cheaper Than Dirt is suspending online gun sales, and have increased their prices to stupid levels. A P-Mag is now $59.99. Those price-gouging bastards!
I encourage everyone to give a big middle finger to Dick’s and CTD.
This is “The Green Marlin” which became the Cowboy Assault Rifle, or CAR-30-30, or Tactical Lever Action. It started out as a stock Marlin 336C which had some serious water damage to the stock that ruined the finish. I was going to do a John Deer logo on the side of it, but then I decided I hated that color. The gun its self though was straight up awesome. Barrel cut down to 16 on the dot, and an 11 Degree Target Crown and a 1 Piece firing pin and the Trigger Happy trigger from Wild West Guns. The result was a 30-30 that would print 1/2″ groups with LEVERevolution ammo.
This is what replaced my Crusader Modified Rock River… which no matter how good or accurate it was, it was too damned heavy. This is a very lightweight build that Gundoc tweaked for me. Slipstream treatment and a Battlecomp round out the details. Topped with an EOTech, to get on target fast. Accuracy is more than enough to make me laugh wickedly. Yeah, I’m not giving anything up on the Rock River’s accuracy.
Now, I’m holding a Rossi M92 in .44 Mag. And I do love the 92’s, the gun in the photo that brings this to the front of the pack, is the one Evil Jim is caressing. That’s his SBL. This is the .45-70 Thumper that forced me – FORCED ME – to buy a Guide Gun of my own. I don’t have a pic of me holding mine, so this one will do.
Notice that out of all these rifles in this post – most are Lever Actions. There’s a good reason for that. I love Lever Action Rifles. Especially one’s with some modern touches that enhance the Lever’s ability to hit – and knock the shit out of the target.
It was asked, “What is Crusader going to do if there is another Assault Weapons Ban and you can’t build AR’s anymore?” What will we do? We’ll do custom Lever Actions. I’m one of the few Trainers out there that actively train – an encourage – Lever Actions.
I’m pretty solidly on record for hating the Ford Focus. Since it first came out, they’ve just irritated me.
But now Ford has actually made a good one. I wouldn’t mind an ST at all. Just not in yellow. Make mine in Black, Silver, or Red, thanks.
