Gun collecting

So after waiting for over a year for the FNX 45 tactical I went in to the store today and fell in love with the HK 45. I now own my first gun.

Congrats!! Where did you get it?

And you should report them to any gun forum and your local news for being stupid and price gouging.

Thing is it's not just them, it looks like all AR's are getting the panic mark up at stores everywhere.

Sending you a PM.

I own an AK47. I keep it basic, reliable, & simple.

Pictures please

Are both available? You should probably just pick up whichever you find first imo. You're not really going to make a bad decision either way.

My next pistol will be a sig 226 in 9 or a HK P30 in 9. But I got rifle fever right now.

Don't bash me, but if you're looking for a 9mm pistol did you think about a glock?

good choice, how much are they running for now?

sad, it's nation wide. Ammos, mags and anything that looks scary. My state is limited to 10rds mags for hand gun and even ebay has glock 17/19 magazines ending at ridiculous prices. Even reputable online shops are either sold out or back ordered. Glad I found some for $25 each before it dries up.

That's a pretty badass gun. My buddy just traded in his Kimber for one. That's a huge ballsy move for a first gun. Mad props.

For anyone worried about price gouging, here is the reason why: Feinstein has released a summary of her bill. This is the tip of the iceberg. Buy NOW!!!!!!!!

Summary of 2013 legislation

Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:

120 specifically-named firearms;
Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and
Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test;
Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test; and
Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans.
Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment;
Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes; and
Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons.
Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.

Right there, this is what they're coming after. Even grandfathered guns are going to be under assault. This is no joke people.

It states it protects grandfathered owners who legally owns it before the enactment, it doesn't happen. It is hurting everyone because the ones who already owns a assault rifle can't get any mags higher than 10rds or even think of the difficulty of getting spare/repair parts, etc.

Are replacement parts like buffer tubes and bolt assembly's for AR and other weapons targeted going to be affected I figured they would of been safe from this?

But I can see why they would want to try and take those down to. Guess I am going to have to stock up on parts to

PM sent. I'm not sure about Cali conversions yet, and I think it was mentioned that they are waiting final information from the IWI representative at the Shot Show next month. Basically, IWI is going to have definitive information for their release at the show. I like the Group Buy because once they get the deposit the order is placed, and we're guaranteed a low numbered rifle.
