Gifts and gun show

It’s my birthday this week (you did send a gift, right?) and, to my surprise, I got a gift in the mail yesterday:

Its a Randall Made boot knife sort of blade. I have no idea what it cost (ok, thats not true..I looked it up) but in addition to being expensive, they are usually accompanied with a pretty lengthy waiting list to get one. So…cool birthday gift.

Today is the Missoula Gun Show, I am looking for exactly two items: a great scope for my .338 Lapua Ruger precision rifle, and a .50 BMG of some flavor…first choice is a Serbue semi-auto, second choice is a Barrett of some flavor. I’m not holding out high hopes for either.

I have noticed that gun prices are starting to drop like Kamala Harris’ poll numbers. PSA is selling Magpul’d complete lowers for $150, which is a hundred bucks less than this time last year. In fact, PSA had some blems on sale that let  my assemble complete carbines for about $450. And, one of my vendors had a sale on Ruger MPR Ar’s, so I grabbed two of those as well.  I have hit Peak AR. Really, the only way I’m buying more AR’s at this point is if they are at post-2016 election giveaway prices.

Off to the gun show! See you there!

  1. I’ve noticed Glock prices starting to drop from high to about previous retail…

  2. Happy Birthday.
    I hope you remembered to renew your website subscription, if I remember correctly it’s a few days after your Birthday.

  3. even after i lost half of my ar’s in that tragic canoe accident, i know you heard about it, i’m still over-max on them and still have 3 extra complete lowers with no idea what if anything to top them with. ah, the agony.

    • So sorry for your lost, but you should know by now that gun owners and boats do not mix. It’s like TV news and the truth.

  4. Didnt i read about some problems with the Serbu 50 upper a few years back that necessitated altering a part or something?
    Apologies to Mark if i am wrong- maybe someone else knows something.

  5. That Randall boot knife is a fine piece of kit and not cheap…gave mine to my wife and she won’t give it back….redclay7

  6. I was curious and looked up the Randall knife that some wonderful person gifted you. Oh, my that’s a pricy piece of cutlery.

    I’ve also noticed the price of ammo starting to wane, not that it was ever that high in these parts (Ontario Canada), to begin with. The only issue I’ve had was supply. With all the newbies in the (not so) United states buying up everything that goes bang, I’ve been forced to rely on the steel-cased European stuff.

  7. Very nice Randall boot blade gift. Randalls go for some serious coin. That person is a good friend.

    So glad to hear firearm prices are finally getting rea at the shows. Not sure they will ever reach the prices before.

  8. Didn´t know it was your birthday…

    Best wishes!

    Fungible gift coming your way. Not nearly as nice as the one in the post, but useful nevertheless ;-).

  9. I have just received the Randall Catalog. On the back DATE SEP–2021 PRESENT SHIPPING DATE MAR–2027.
    So some one relay likes you.
