What's your latest "impulse buy" . . . . . ?

I started on a mini 14, mini 30, 1911 journey. Prly like learning about them and how they operate as much as anything.

Huh? Those were old impulse buys, is that what you are saying?

 

[justsayin]

Just kind of impulse traded with members the last couple of weeks and now it's a real interest. You could say consumed at this time

Today 1 oz silver bars don't know why but I am drawn to them and when they are spot price who can say no

I regularly cruise Habitat for Humanity.
If it doesn't have purpose, I don't bring it home.
Today, they had three, 8" x 8" x 3/8" hardened steel plates, $4 each. They're not as hard as AR500, but harder than mild steel. No idea what they were for, but Ima gonna use 'em as pistol targets.
In additon, found a Makita GA7911 9" sander/grinder, $15. I ordered some extra brushes, spindle nut sets, rubber sanding backing wheel, grinding and cutoff wheels. It will be so good to set aside my underpowered 5-1/2 grinder. Also picked up a spare welding shield for $5.

They had a heavily used Homelite XL-12 in Carolina Blue -- I'd guess it was from the mid to late '60's. The fuel cap would fit my Super-XL, which leaks. They were asking $48, I offered $20 and they said "no".

Picked up 500 more of these to add to the pile just yesterday.
$0.2198 a shot will be just fine for shooting at targets...

Couldn't resist this Ruger GP100 2.5" 7-shot. Was originally wanting to buy the S&W 627, but found this for a whole fist full of Benjamin's less. I have several Ruger's so just adding to the collection I guess. Then added some great VZ 320 grips I got from Stumpy (fantastic fella) and voila!

Very nice setup . If you want to shine up part or all of the surfaces this stuff is the best . Congratulations .

Surprised the G3 .308 mags are still so cheap. I've seen as cheap as $3.49 and as high as $9.99. Ready for M114 on the g3 front.

I am over and done with this Walther. Even Clint Driftwood will never fire this gun. Last thing I wanna get into is a big surprise... Ive never seen a stove pipe chewed on the rimfire itself.
Time for a new impulse!

Get a real Walther this time. Like a p99 or PDP...

Looks like a promising firearm. I wanna get something else besides 9mm.
Do you know a 22LR semi-auto handgun, with a longer barrel in the lightweight side?
A bit more power than a regular 22LR semi auto?
Man I am so tempted to do this.. Total original weight is 2.3 lbs...

Smith and Wesson model 41 with a 7" barrel would do the trick

They make ruger chargers that size.

We'll see. I was looking at the charger too but its heavier side than a pistol. More like a stationary...

It weighs 51.5oz, I shoot a lot of pistols over 40oz... That's very manageable

If I take off the wilcats rear stock and 1/3 of the barrel, its gonna go down to 1.4 - 1.6 lbs, maybe a little lesser. Thats the whole catch. The design of the wildcats chamber and firing system is similar to the 10/22 but improved in a sense of technical improvement. I cannot compare the wear and tear for 10/22 is all steel with legendary robust design.

Have you thought about how you'll have a Turkish .22 with a giant hole in the hollow stock and tons of money chopping the barrel, threading and re-crowning it to get it back to original accuracy? Why not get a .22 subgun that is already done. There are tons of them.

I'm definitely open to anything. I'm not worried in getting the wrong stuff since I know you guys are there...
But there are some parts like for example the Ruger 10/22 custom built that I couldn't understand fully due to my lack of experience.... yet,,
