How many guns this year?

I already got one.

The traditional cheesy pawn shop staple- the 90's style Chinese SKS. Silly Choate Dragunov stock, CHEAP sling, missing bayonet, and clunky duckbill 30 rounder. The very first one I've seen under $600 :rolleyes:. But for $279 out the door, I couldn't say no.

There's what I want to buy, and what I realistically might buy.

What I really want to buy is a quality AK, and a quality AR15. But my job sucks, and I wince every time I look at my paycheck.

That same pawnshop has some cheap pump shotguns simply labeled "Winchester 12 gauge". I'm terrified that one might be a Winchester Model 12 and that I will need to buy it for $200.

Another pawnshop has some $150-175 revolvers. High Standard and H&R. If the .22 situation weren't still stupid, I'd probably have purchased them by now.

That pawnshop also has a ton of old semiautomatic shotguns- Auto 5's, Remington 11's, 11-48's, etc. I can't read the tags, or else I might have gotten a couple by now.

Oh yeah, and I have a project Remington 870 that I will get back into action. It's a police surplus 70's Wingmaster with a magnum ejector, incandescent Surefire fore end, MMC ghost ring rear sight, and no barrel.
 
2....I think.

DW Specialist and dome type of cz75....probably the SA
Click to expand...

Well, then there is the XD Mod2....and I was thinking M&P compact....9mm 1911 or 40 s&w 2011....,and then there is the 458 Lott

Nah! I would be thrilled to finish my SA 1911 custom and 10/22 project.
 
Depending on my sales this year, one. Maybe two.

Really would like to get a 44mag revolver as a companion to my 44mag lever.

Would also like to get a 357 lever as a companion to my revolvers.

If I spot a good deal on a .327 revolver, I'd jump on that too.
 
bought 2 already.

plans for 2016 include

a sig p220 kryptek
a springfield xd mod 2 tactical

maybe a springfield xdm) but it has to be a .45 acp because CT has thos e bogus 10 round cap mag laws)

definitely a sig p210 when it is available in CT:D
 
1 and i just bought it win. model 61. Pretty much exceeded my budget for the year already. Man they just don't give them away in excellent condition!;)
 
I've got an order in for a carbine from CMP but the odds aren't good. I've bought one stripped lower, hopefully to become a SBR before the year is out. I'm also looking for a host for a .45 can and a HD shotgun. The prices on the last two will have to be awesome or I'll just make do with what I have. I'm also casually looking for a flintlock kit to complete as a father-son project and I might order a 1911 if the CMP ever starts selling them.

They won't all work out but I still might stumble across a few deals so 5-6 is a good estimate.
 
I never "budget" what I will buy. It depends on that else is happening in my life and what strikes my fancy. I suspect any new purchase will be an old Smith or other collector's item. I am well stocked to the gills with handguns and I am not really interest in high powered rifles. I have a few 22's and an AR15 though.
 
I am hoping to buy a few, but the money situation is my limiter.

I would like to get an AR-15, an XDm, a Highpower, and maybe an M1A1. I also am fascinated by the Czech Vz-58. But more than likely it will be one or none! Such is life!
 
I do not know if this counts but I bought back the Taurus 44 hunter model with a 12" barrel back from my buddy I had sold it too. I hated selling it afterwards but he always promised me that he would sell it back if I wanted. For those of you that are new to the gun industry it is a 44 magnum and no longer made by Taurus.
 
either a 243Win or a 7mm mag may be in my future!

None so far this year, I'm interested in a 7mm mag (maybe), I messed up and picked up an 8pd jug of IMR7828SC, at the moment I have nothing that uses this powder in my inventory! William
 
One so far.

Hodgepodge AR build of leftover parts (i think its 9 different brands of parts) two of my brothers gave me, and some new parts they bought for my birthday.

Tried it out yesterday, 100% reliable, and so far I'm into it $84.46.

Im not against picking up more, but I'm not planning on it. I need to start picking more reloading components so I can shoot the guns I already have.
 
This year is, I think, going to be a strange one for me... Most of my "fun money" will be going into home improvement, redoing a bathroom and the basement. The money earmarked for personal fun will likely be for ammunition and taking the time to really get comfortable with the firearms I have!

That said, if I see good deals on lower receivers, barrels, trigger kits... not going to say that I won't partake :D
 
I don't plan on buying any additional guns in 2016. An even dozen should be enough. I had the same plan and I stuck to it in 2014 but the same plan turned failed in 2015 and I bought four.
 
I'm up to 4 this year.......... HK VP9, Sig P938, AR57 5.7x28mm AR, Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel............... Hello. My name is Nomad636 and I have a gun problem. Oh yeah... I have a suppressor that is locked in suppressor jail too.
 
As many as I can get.:D

Unfortunately, all the really interesting guns have disappeared in the last 20 years.:(
