Thinking of selling an AR before the election

[Dawico]

.338 Lapua Savage 110BA.
Surprisingly pleasant to shoot. Just protect the ears!
With so much more muzzle energy than my un-braked 338 Win Mag it has 1/2 the perceived recoil!!!

Back on topic for this thread....
This rifle might be the least likely to have gun control forces want to ban it.
5 round bolt action? It's mostly harmless.

Same rifle I have. Very nice.

I see the gun grabbers going after everything. Once the ARs/ AKs are neutered they will come after the big bores.

Buy ammo. Lots of it. Minimum 2000-3000 rifle. 1000 side arm. 500 precision rifle. 500 shotgun.

You forgot some zeros.

I'd think it would be worth more if she wins. There doesn't seem to be a run on guns or Ammo right now. That might change if she wins.

This 100%!! Wait till just after the election, If in fact she does win there's no way they can get anything passed legislatively quickly but prices will go through the roof right after she's announced the winner. Sales that night and the week to follow will be off the charts and prices will soar....

When I was young, I bought, sold, and traded firearms. Now that I'm older, I buy. I buy firearms. There is no trading or selling.

I was fortunate to learn this lesson before I was 25. My first few hard won aquistions had to be sold to get me out of a financial jam (my own stupidity, no one else to blame). I only managed to hold onto my Win 94 and my first firearm, a Marlin 60 stainless, bought with yard cutting money when I was 13.

Since then, I haven't ever sold another weapon. I'll be 57, in a few days.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

If you have not please join the NRA.

Actually come to think of it what do you have ? I may want to buy it!

Yup.
Ammo will be the currency of the future.

Don't let a week go buy without adding a bit more ammo.
I do not. Last weekend I bought 22lr, 45ACP, .308, .338 and 12ga and some black powder!

Buy at least 50% more than you think you can afford! Then just a little more.

I can always sneak another gun in under the wife's radar.

Anyone have advice on how I can sneak in another safe??

An appliance dolly, powered so you can move quickly?

Sold and bought before....now in this political climate am only a buyer.

Hide it under a nice 2ct Diamond usually works.

Hillary has already proposed a 25% federal excise tax on guns and ammunition. I'm stocking up on quality brass cased ammo every month. Also, look at the new Mass "assault weapons" ban. It specifically does NOT include the Ruger Mini-14, just like the 1994 ban. So that may be the gun to buy in case you're no longer allowed to shoot an AR. For that matter, since the Mini-14 is a shrunken copy of the M-14, then the M1A would seem a good bet if you want a larger caliber semi auto.

For sure, though, you won't regret buying ammo. It could be the new currency if things go really bad. Even if not, ammo has still not fallen back to its pre 2012 election prices.

My cynical "currency of the future" started 100% in jest after the original Mad Max movie.
Since then the jest/serious ratio has steadily fallen to 90%, 75%......maybe 60?

I know a prepper who says the same thing about tampons!

Even if laws never change your heirs will love you for the scads of rounds.

To hedge my bets, I bought a detachable mag fed 5.56 bolt rifle to supplement my AR, just in case.

My LGS just ordered a Ruger American Ranch rifle in 5.56mm for me for $399.95 (thank goodness...under $400!) If I lost my AR from a "mandatory buy back", I'd be sitting on 4,000 rounds of various 5.56 and .223 and nothing to do with them while waiting for gun mfrs to catch up with the demand for 5.56 bolt action rifles. Also, a bolt action can provide a calmer, more studied range "experience." With 40, 30, or even 20 rounds in my AR, I feel compelled to hurry and shoot again after each shot.

And yes, this was a great excuse to buy another gun.

You and I were thinking alike. I went with the Mossberg MVP Patrol: http://www.mossberg.com/category/series/mvp-series/mvp-patrol/
