What firearms related Christmas gifts did everyone get?

Not just good ones...

My FIL taught me reloading and let me apprentice under him for a while. That experience was worth more than any present. But I would've took a new Hornady LnL if he wanted to get me something.:D Just kidding of course. He gets me cool stuff like dies, primers and powder.
 
Wife got me a homeade certificate good for a hunting rifle of my choice. Been looking into a Browning .243 or Ruger .270 and paid the balance on my layaway for a Sig.Sauer AR Magpul m400 . Shes a keeper my friends!!!
 
I got a nifty sports bottle holder for my Windham :D:

BTW, CJohnson76, I've been very happy with my SRC. It's my first AR, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I'm well over 1000 rounds in mine over the past few months, and have had absolutely zero problems with it. Not a single FTF of FTE or FT anything. It's as accurate as I can shoot, and I suspect it'll be even better when I put a better scope on it.

Best-received gift given was an old Ruger Mk I that I gave to a nephew. It needed a part replaced to make it operational, and he had it shooting by the next evening. (Helps that he works in a gun shop.) Even though he's got a decked-out Mk III, he has lusted for my old Mk I for a while. I rarely shot it, so I'm glad to see it go to a more loving home.
 
I got what I think is the awesomest gift anyone coukd have given me for christmas.
When i got to my parents house my dad gave me my grandfather's 30.06. I have been asking for one of the two of his for almost a decade now. I did a little research on it and it turns out it is a Remington model 1917 that was manufactured in October of 1918.

By far one of the best gifts I have ever gotten.

1968 2nd-Generation Colt Detective Special. Great finish, light and even wear, minimal turn line, amazing trigger, timing is right on, cylinder locks up tight.

Carry rig, speed loader, snap caps, & Buffalo Bore LSWCHP standard pressure 158-grain on the way. I don't believe in safe queens!

My first revolver, and as a guy who tends toward the tactical plastic stuff, I am amazed at how great I feel about this gun. It will not be my last wheel gun.

Looking further into the benefit of this, it's a bigger meaning than some might realize. I can't count how many fellow gun owners I know that won't pay for membership at our local gun ranges. End result is they don't go hardly at all. Loss of quality/quantity training and the fun of shooting in general. All because they paid several hundred, if not, thousands of dollars for their firearm yet think $65/year is highway robbery. :rolleyes:
 
I bought myself a GSG StG44. Santa never seems to remember to bring gun-related stuff, and instead brings me BBQ implements, Chia Pets, underwear, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
 
I got 3 brand new Beretta 92fs mags for Christmas. Contact me if you'd like to buy. I don't need that many. I only asked for 1 to round out my collection. send an inquiry to ... iassogna. executive @ gmail . com

Now to wait for next Christmas....

Agreed. The closest indoor range from me is 30 miles away. I have a couple of outdoor ranges close but winters can be rough.
