As long as we’re talking about NRA videos and books, I thought I’d mention once again: today is National Buy a Gun Day.
I usually cut folks some slack if BAG Day falls on a Sunday or Monday. This year, I’m going to continue with the slack cutting, given the current circumstances: if you place an order for something today, or purchase something before the end of the day on Sunday, it counts.
I still haven’t found anything I really want: Classic Firearms is selling Beretta M9 pistols for $450. This kind of appeals to me, as someone who has a half-baked desire to accumulate a collection of every US military sidearm, but I don’t know that $450 is all that great a price.
CDNN is offering Radical Firearms AR pattern rifles in .224 Valkyrie for $500. I’m intrigued by .224 Valkyrie as a caliber, but I know nothing about Radical Firearms: I think I’d prefer to either buy a complete rifle from a manufacturer I know something about, or buy a finished upper (again, from someone I’m familiar with) and build up my own .224 rifle.
There’s a nice 4″ S&W in .45 Colt on GunBroker, but it’s up close to $800 right now, which is right on the edge of what I want to pay. I’m pretty confident it will break $1,000 by the time the auction ends tomorrow. Somebody else has another one for sale with a starting bid of $500, but it isn’t as nice.
I still haven’t been able to get out and do any gun photos yet, but I’m hoping to have that done by the weekend.
In the meantime, feel free to post comments with your BAG Day purchase, or send photos, or both.
