I once bought a new gun because someone gave me a brand new die set for a caliber I did not own.
Ha Ha That's nothing , I bought a rifle once because I had an extra set of rings sitting around . They were silver so the rifle had to be stainless .
Oh wait I've got another one . 3 weeks ago I see a used ( stainless ) 10/22 for $180 . I buy it but here in CA it cost $30 to run a background check . Well I'm not going to spend an extra $30 for just that 22 so I buy a stripped lower as well . You know that still is making those cost more then I'd like so I should put at least one more gun on that DROS . So I bought a 1911 yep thats right I spent an EXTRA $850 to save $30 What's that all about .
I can rationalize anything
