NWI INGO General Post Part 19 - LegOs, Glocks and iPhones!

[gunbunnies]

Sooooo I'm just complaining so just keep scrolling as it's just me airing my thoughts with fellow gun owners that realize the firearms industry's condition right now... So I got a friend that died back in June this last year and about a month ago his wife contacts me to sell off his gun stuff for her because she doesn't want to get beat up selling the stuff. So the primers went quick and I had to check the guys temperature when we met up because of what he offered for them. Some of the bullets and powder have gone and again the prices being offered are pretty good... Now I got 3 rifles and shotgun in the lot and I priced them about what they would go for fairly as of last year before the run on guns and ammo hit. So I got a call last night from a person that is a business owner and has a good income and hangs with that crowd and he says he has a friend that would be interested in buying all 4 as a lot purchase but my pricing is way high. I'm like what ? The stuff is all name brand... Remington, Savage, CMMG, and Ruger and I haven't seen any of this stuff on a gun store shelf in 8 months. Then he goes on to tell me that he can buy 5.56 ammo for 7 bucks a box and 9mm for 10 bucks a box and there isn't anything special about getting 12 gauge slugs or dbl OO buck... oh oh oh and the 308 ammo is way too high... lol... Where is he finding 308 ammo at I'm wondering... OK that is my soap box and a little venting and now back to Jedi's snow and how do we get him more trash bandits to visit him while he is stuck in his house...

Some people are always out to get something for nothing. Just ignore 'em and move on (and complain to us, 'cause it's cathartic!).

Also, I am truly very sorry to hear about your friend.

Come on...so close...

Ha!

Thanks Lushamania... He was a life time friend... He didn't come in here much but once in a while he would post or go to a shoot at Winamac... He went by The Drifter in INGO... Yeah I couldn't tell if this guy was just not up on the condition of the gun market or trying to get a low ball price... I would almost respect the try to get a lower price, but don't try to tell me I don't know what the gun market is doing... I know all the local gun shop owners by first name and communicate with some of the manufacturers from past Gunbunnies Project interactions... The manufacturers are at full production capability and can't keep up with the demand.. This will probably be the same for atleast another year depending on the political environment... Hey Jedi I had this big hitch hiker I dropped of this morning for you...

Anybody actually seen jedi lately? I think he's been doing a rain dance in his yard for the last couple weeks and someone needs to go over and hit him in the head with a brick.

Note: I'm in another thread where some idiot is trying to decide who is "essential" enough to go to work.

So, get home from my double shift, and thought, my driveway doesn't look too bad. I'll just pull back in.

NOPE.

I could feel the Escape bog down. The snow was over the bumper and building a wall as I tried to drive.
Got out, it was half way up to my knee.
So I parked on the street.
Got the blower out.
And helped a few people out, then got my driveway.
2.5 hours later, and half way through my second tank of gas and I'm finally done.

Except, the DAMN REPAIR to my gear selector on the blower FAILED!

It was too much for the locktite.

I guess this time, I'll have to use a blob of steel epoxy (2 part) and just make a big blob at the end of the rod.
Or something. I'll have to think.

Maybe I need to make a new rod.
And have a thread at the end so that I can end it with a double nut.

 

[actaeon277]

So, saw a truck off the road, laughed wondering if it was CTC.
Then, I got behind people going 20, and I started getting mad, so I knew I was channeling CTC 's anger at slow people on the snow.

Well that isn't too bad... You should have been with me last weekend when I dumped the truck changing a tire... This old fart just moved in time to not become part of the truck... lol...

Hopefully he fell asleep making a snow angel.

NWI INGO M&E @ Crown point Shoops whether there is a Crown Point Knife and Gun Show or not.

Brian's Surplus says the show will go on. Since we are not sure whether there will be a show or not, some of us have decided to have a M&E anyway. Most of the votes were for Saturday the 6th. @ NOON, so that is when we will have it. There is plenty of room for social distancing for those that...
