Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Had lots of ammo so I bought a gun
Have any of you had so much ammo of a certain caliber, and you did not own a gun in that caliber, that you actually purchased a gun just to shoot all of the ammo?

Sort of. Way back when they were cheap I bought a Chinese SKS. Bought lots of ammo for it because it was really cheap back then. (Wish I hadn't shot it all up. It was the steel core Norinco stuff.) Sold the SKS and since I still had the 7.62x39 laying around I decided I needed an AK to burn it all up.
And recently I picked up a 9mm carbine since I already have ammo and mags for it.
Yes, i have x K of 45acp components that appeared in a deal for some reason. So i ordered a Ruger SR1911 and just received a 45 conversion for my JRC 9mm carbine.

Nope but resisted getting a .40 S&W because I didn't want to stock yet another caliber until I got a smoking deal on a M&P Shield 40 ... then I had to go stock up ...
That is exactly why I bought a 9mm conversion barrel for my G22. I had several thousand bullets and brass and I figured what the heck. Now I have more 9mms than .40s and I hardly ever shoot .40S&W anymore when that was my main caliber for years. I also bought .308s to shoot up some ammo and brass I had acquired.
I will say I have never been tempted to buy anything in 380 even though brass keeps sneaking home with me mixed in with my 9mm brass.
A guy gave me a steering wheel once so I had to build a truck. Does that count?
Yes, I have.
I'm only reading this thread to find out what you got...
