... I think my search will take awhile, I have a notify me when stock ar several places. I travel for work, so I am also checking different lgs wherever I go. ...
In my latest purchase attempts the 'Notify Me' got to me too late. I finally set up some webpage product bookmarks and made it a habit to check them daily as part of my daily internet news routine. Eventually I got lucky, it did take months, made the purchase. The 'Notify Me' came two days later. At that point just for grins I went ahead checked to see if it was still available. Nope - No Stock.
I have been checking that too. My FFL at home is also trying to do an order as well.

Welcome to the family. We may pick on you a bit, once we get to know you. If we like you, you know, like family. But all in fun. Jump right in, ask questions, share anecdotes, and pics, we love pics. Your rifles, pistols, truck, boat, fish. You get the idea. Pics. Dave? He likes tractors.
I would not expect anything less from a Marine :lol: Harassment is expected and graded. :D

Sold my boat this year, been way too busy at work and not home long enough for it. I have one of those jobs that covid made me busier. Sold it to a young guy who was looking for his first boat. Mirro Craft 14ft tin boat. Good starter for him.

I had a recruit in the academy, paratrooper with the 82nd. He said he had 92 "Official" jumps in his career, including all his training jumps, but 132 including unofficial jumpd with foreign units and off book. I told him if he jumped from the aircraft and lived, I'd count it. "One Thirty Two," he said.

He was Five foot six.

"A hundred thirty two?" I shook my head. "Did you start out at six foot four?"
