20 years ago when i got into firearms there was soooo much cool shit to be had and i was making $4.75/hr lol
I go into gun stores now or check out the latest NRA mag and its all ghey AR variants, pistols with braces, or micro-wonder 9s from some former Soviet Bloc country or Turkey being sold by an American manufacturer.
I miss the days of having more guns i wanted than i could afford.
Or, maybe, you're more a 'do-it-yourself'er and have access to a good machine shop?
