This concerns me

Interest will probably go way up with the coming war involving North Korea. Be positive!

Everything old is new again.

If i was your age with kids, guns or other toys would be at the bottom of the buying list. Especially with the housing market's pricing the last few years.

Yes, guns and toys are at the bottom of my buying list (just compare my trading post activity now, to years past), I have close to zero debt, with my car note being the majority of that. I plan to move at some point, which should give me even more room financially, but even then I'll likely continue to save and get the car paid off.

(Speaking of finances, where has Irving been?)

Why would any (well, most any) Millennial spend more on guns and ammo than the latest cell phone?

My oldest being an exception. Classed as a Millennial by most charts @34, but is totally supportive of LGBT (Liquor/Guns/Bacon/Titties).

If you know anyone of any age, let them know about your hobby of sending small metal projectiles through paper or banging into steel plates. Make certain you let them know that you would be happy to take them to the range and let them learn how satisfying it can be to try and put the small metal projectiles into the same hole or close on steel plates. Show them how much fun it gets as you move the target back and shorten the time it takes you to send those metal projectiles. We are ambassadors for our hobby.

Be safe.

I'm mid 30. I just don't sell any of my guns so my exposure to face-to-face transactions are minimal.

I also don't have the time to browse the TP or the money to drop on random impulse buy guns/gear other people might be selling.

When I want a gun, I save up for it. The odds of that very same gun being available on the TP when I finally have enough $ are slim-to-none chances, so I buy at my LGS.

The few face-to-face transactions I've had have all been very positive. I do enjoy meeting you folks when I can.

That's why Blasterbob is shopping Garands again. Must be getting ready for re-enlisting.

You are correct Tom. Garands lately are "my thing". Greatest battle rifle in "my time" and to me it still reigns right up there. I am still buying them when I find a really nice one at a reasonable price of course. Doubt they will ever really go down much in price even if CMP receives a good number of them again. I admit I am one of the OLD FARTS here and am proud to be coming up on 81 in December. Wife and I have been married 57 years and have been through some dang tough times - medically. The first week of marriage, we both agreed that when either of us saw something that we really REALLY wanted and if we truly felt we could,afford it, buy it. My Mrs has never been critical of any part of my shooting sport from target shooting, reloading, collecting etc.. When I finally go belly up, she is going to have a LOT of stuff to part with but I have taken care of that with a detailed listing most of my stuff, it's description, serial numbers, value and what could probably be sold for. I do have a shop (LGS) that will take everything and sell it at 15%"commission. In the mean time, if I spot nice Garand at a decent price, I will add it to the pile.
