Anybody bought a gun in 2023?

[Jont22]

Ordered a Beretta 21a yesterday. Should get it in a week. Called around and couldn’t find any local unfortunately.

Very nice! This is mine. Not my original (it was stolen) but my replacement.

New Years Day: stainless steel S&W Chief's Special.

Everybody needs a 60. Not as common as they used to be.

Ordered tx22 compact last week. Hoping it will come in this week to the local rk.

No, but not by choice. Had everything - price, time, and location - worked out with a seller here on INGO for his listed long gun, but he bailed the day before we were to meet up. Still kinda salty at that one, as it's a specific gun I've been hunting for for years.

End of the day, I didn't lose anything - just didn't gain what I wanted.

Did he back out completely, or reschedule meet up?

Those older Mossbergs are real sleepers! I need to add a 46M(b) to my collection sometime.

As for me, I intend to keep actual firearm purchases light this year and instead round out what I have (I need a few optics, more ammo, finally get my reloading area set up and learn to load). Famous last words though, right?

However, I DO want to add a KP15 (I worked at KE Arms for a short while, and also worked at CavArms/CavManf. for awhile), an INGO lower if those go through, and I want to round out my Beretta collection with an 84 of some kind along with an 87. The regular 87s are spendy right now, but I’m hopeful another batch will get imported soon. I’d wager the two AR lowers are realistic goals, the others perhaps not so much. I have a few rifles listed here already to help offset some expenses, but I may have to take in partial trades to move them, so we’ll see.

But I mean, the list of wants is always long lol. The little Browning 1911-380s look fun, I want another P220 and P226, I want to try a PDP, I have several CZs on my mind, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to find a reasonably priced CZ 527FS in .223 and a 550FS in 6.5x55, I want a Marlin 39, I would absolutely die and be in heaven if I could put an AIAT back in the safe, etc. etc. etc. Like I said, famous last words…

@Basher

What is your thoughts on the lawsuit against KE Arms?

I have been very impressed with my WWSD2020 rifle. Due to an offer I received I have another KP15 SLT/ ambi Lower on the way. Not quite sure what it is going to grow up to be yet, but I know what the lower will be like.

He backed out completely. I struggled with posting negative feedback, but could personally relate to his reasoning for backing out. I'll take him at his word.

I think GWACS is full of crap and I hope they lose. Russell/KE Arms makes a solid product, and Russell in particular has been involved w/ the Cav-15/KP15 product line for ages. They (Cav) sold the molds for the Cav-15 MKII when I was working there, so while the KP15 is related, it’s its own thing.

And they’re solid lowers, to boot! They don’t fit everyone’s needs, but if you want a lightweight, durable lower and can handle a fixed A1-length stock, they’re hard to overlook. They used to have videos of a Cav-15 built rifle getting run over multiple times and it still ran flawlessly.

Nothing yet, but always looking.

 

[AdventureTeamJoe]

Picked up a used 686 Plus 4" barrel on Jan 1. Great way to start the year.

 

[wtburnette]

Yes

 

[pitbulld45]

Not technically...... but I did buy a can cannon off of snorko.

Im like others, I want to finish off some of the guns that are almost done, need some optics, a trench gun kit etc. I would be down for a INGO lower or two and never going to say Im not buying a gun.

 

[ws6duramax]

I'm patiently waiting for mine to show up. Technically I paid for it in 2022, but it has yet to show up! I bought form an online source that I've used before, but they kind of suck this time. Hopefully they pull through soon , they were the only place that had what I was looking for

 

[Noble Sniper]

Nah!!! I traded what one day may be collectible currency for one. )

 

[MrSmitty]

Traded for this, no cash involved…..from the grief I received for this transaction (not the trader… “how many pistols do you need?” Can that be a challenge?, is not the right response)) it will be awhile before another purchase/trade….. guess ammo and holsters are still on the table

 

[DoggyDaddy]

“how many pistols do you need?”

Of course the correct response is, "All of them."

CVA Scout SS in 350 Legend. Should make a good deer gun for the Grandson.

I got the same for my oldest daughter a couple years ago. She hasn't wanted to hunt it yet, fun to shoot though!

I ordered an upper over the weekend to finish up an AR10 I started on this time last year.

Also ordered a new stripped receiver for a 22 magnum AR15 project.

 

[binkerton]

Grabbed a TX22 on saturday. I see why people love 'em. Great shooting pistol!
