The average PAL experience:
"I'm just gonna get one gun, don't need more than that."
"I already have a rifle, I should get a shotgun too."
"A good .22 is nice to have as well, the ammo is so cheap!"
"I love history, better grab a few milsurps."
"....... I need a bigger safe...."

If you're in my situation, i presume you are talking about having just under 30 rounds.

If I didn't eat expensive food, have a reliable vehicle and a mortgage I could probably have eight guns too. I have four so far and I kinda find it hard to justify buying more when the ones I have can perform anything I'd ever need. At this point it would be pure collecting. Luckily I've dodged the bans so far, but the list of guns I'm 🤏 this close to buying keeps shrinking. Also if I bought more guns I'd have to buy a stockpile of ammo for each and now we're talking crazy money.

I was tempted to buy a Browning .30-06 with a Leopauld VX freedom scope for 1k, but I have a family that I have to take care of first.
Maybe if I sell some of my shit I can be ready for next year or when PP takes over and see what guns he removes from the ban list, if any.

Well Sonny, except for that petite shadowy weapon of war you've got in the middle that's quite a sensible collection! - Current Administration

You will find one soon enough, I was in the same boat early december, found a guy mid december selling with ammo, refurbished stock and stripper clips for $250. Fastest snag of my life.

I love how if you asked someone to pick which gun of these guns is banned they would probably get it wrong lol. Nice collection.

God I wish lol

u/Brandon_awarea 20h ago
They aren’t too expensive, if you are patient you can get one around 1k. Although I bought mine pre OIC so the price may have gone up a bit.

The stock on the 22 looks interesting. Does it have a nice wood grain?
1
u/TopQuarter2258 19h ago
I assume you're talking about the Henry at the bottom? Yeah its really nice. Supposed to be american walnut
1
u/Ive_got__questions 18h ago
Yes the Henry. It is American walnut. I have the same gun. Would love to see a picture of it without the cheek riser. Many are quite plain (which is ok) so it’s cool to see one with an interesting grain. Don’t go to any trouble though. Only if it’s easy.

How do you like the mag release on that 10/22? I am thinking about trying one. You done anything else cool to that thing?
1
u/TopQuarter2258 18h ago
Its not too bad, a little too loose fitting for my likeing. It's a little wobbly, but its just a cheap amazon brand. That being said it is better than the original mag release. Other than that just did the bolt release mod.

That GSG looks pretty dangerous.
