So, today even in light of all the gun buying craziness, I decided to go to the gun store in pueblo to pick up some odds and ends. I immediately noticed that there were only 3 semi-auto guns left in the store, two .22LR AR-15 wannabees and a Saiga 12 which still had the factory paper tag hanging from it, and a safety flag in the bore. I figured with the long background wait times that those three were already sold, and waiting for a check to clear so they could be picked up. I got my shopping done, some OC for the wife, a few ranger plates for some Pmags and a weapon light when I go to checkout. I ask the salesman "that Saiga is sold right?" , he says "no". I look at the wife and ask "How much?". The wife made me return the other goodies I had picked out, but happily agreed to buying the Saiga, which they said they had placed on the shelf a mere 2 mins before my arrival. It was the shot barreled version (19") and was already converted to a pistol grip and standard AK buttstock. I'm somewhere north of the 10,000th in line on background checks, but hey. I get to bring this home sometime early next year maybe.



What are the chances of that? I should have bought a lotto ticket today.
