Christmas came early this year for me. I had this built back in August and thus far it has been everything I had hoped it would be. I have a Nowlin 9X23 barrel coming in the next week or so. Right now it is chambered in 9MM.

We started early. Pics coming soon!

Best item so far is a new HK Full-size USP .45, but I just got a web print-out since there is a waiting period in CA and I have to get it from the dealer. Also Bates boots and a ton of NRA gear . . .

I know what you mean.

For the P2000, they took my CCW and Driver's License and it took them almost 5 minutes to fill out the paperwork and have me fill in the front side of the 4473.

I tell you, if I hadn't needed to pick up a couple boxes of ammo and some spare high cap mags, I don't know what I would have done during the waiting period.

RL,

Do you ever get a feeling that you should MOVE out of the PRK?

Yep that is a big problem here in Vermont. You have to wait for the shop owner to get finished picking his teeth before he will get you the wpn.

Hell, the last handgun I bought came from an employer, I filled out the whole 4473. Same deal, with my CHL it took less than 5 minutes. I bought an AK last week and it took me longer to walk around the corner and get cash than it did to do the paperwork. Oh yeah, and it came with 2 30 round mags, a 20 round mag and 120 rounds of ammo .

Ain't it great

Good times,
Blake

You'll love it, I know you will.

So on that note I'm buying a Ruger MkII 22LR pistol tonight. I love desperate people....... $100 cash (got what he wanted, didn't know what he had) and it'll split the hairs on a gnats a$$

I take it you found a dealer that would handle it?

Thank you TR.

Almost forgot the Badger Ordnance rings and 20 MOA base that was put on back order.

Now if I can find my stash of Aluma-Hyde II so I can paint that ugly black thing.
