I Found $1550!

[Delphi]

I found $1550 in an old antique that I sold off to a collector. (yes i had it appraised by multiple people and they valued it at $1300, it was a vase made in germany bout 150 years ago or so) So I got a good deal.

Anyways I have the money in the bank, and I've dedicated it to firearms!

So here is what I'm thinking.

A Sig Sauer P229 Equinox in .40S&W
and
An Ak-47 Krinkov or maybee an M1 Garand...

But I'm wondering what you guys think? Any other suggestions for that 1550? What guns would you buy with that cash?

Thanks!

Ive been thinking about Garands more and more lately, but I think I'd probably go with a 16" M14 instead

hold off on both of those. I imgaine the new masada/ACR will be out soon. I would save for one of those if it were my newly acquire money!

If I had $1550 to spend on gun stuff, I'd spend it all on ammo, and extra parts, for the firearms I already own.

That's where I left it! Thanks for finding it for me

$1500? Armalite AR10, Springfield M1A, or Colt SAA in .45LC

Or
Ruger MkIII 6 7/8" tapered
+
One of those new Vaquero's in .45LC
+
Ammo ammo ammo

Or maybe a hunting rifle for my son and a Ruger No1 in .257 Roberts.

Or an accuracy job on my 700 VLS.

Or ...


This is why I usually end up paying bills with any extra money. There's just too many choices

If you think another AWB ban is likely stock up on lowers and 30 round magazines then sell them after a ban goes into effect.

I saw somewhere 10 stripped lowers for $800.

you could spend it on your favorite forum staff

Thanks for the suggestions... I like the idea of ammo/AR recievers. ACR sounds good too....

What do you think of the P229 Equinox in .40S&W? Anyone have experiance with that round? I have a 9mm and feel that it's a bit too light, but i'm not sure i'm comfortable with a 6-7 round .45 acp either.... Is the .45 much better than the .40S&W? What carry round would you suggest?

A pawn shop in Littleton let me handle a P229 they had for sale...very comfortable gun, and Ive always been a fan of pistols with external hammers...the one they had was a stainless slide in .40S&W...They were asking around $600 for it, and I very much enjoyed the feel and presence it had...

Thanks

Yea I handled my dads P226 and really liked it... nice a smooth. I'm gonna have to check out the equinox, it looks flashy and like it has everything i'd want... but never know untill ya handle it

BTW: Does anyone know what FLOTB stands for?
