Man, I'm so darned refreshed its not even funny. I'd put in my 2 weeks notice at my old job, and last monday was my last day. Well I decided to take a week off between the old and new job to spend a little time with my dad. Ended up picking up two of our project cars from the welding shop and brought them back to the house to work get some things going which was great. I've now got my 68 stang sitting in the back yard just waiting for the 302 and tranny to be dropped in. Dad brough his (cringes) 83 el camino (god that thing is ugly) home to finish up as well.
Later in the week we went down to the river near Jacksonville NC so we could work on a few things down at their place on the river. While around Jacksonville I made it a point to hit every single pawn and gun shop I found, in search for cheap ammo, parts, or just anything. I ended up finding a Mossberg 500 Persuader and picking that up fairly cheap. Also saw a few things that were interesting while I was down. Found some wolf 7.62 x39 for around 4.50/ box so I picked a few boxes of that up as well. Found one shop that had a couple of Hk 91's and a cetme back on the bench, the guy also had an FAL sitting on the shelf mixed in with a bunch of AR's. He also had a G3 od green partial kit sitting in one of the cases, and this looked to have come off a never fired G3... I wanted the darned stock set so bad it hurt, but he wasn't about to come off of it. One of the more interesting things I found was a G3/Hk91 .22lr conversion kit sitting in a random pawn shop. Darned thing was complete in its case and looked brand new. Of course it had a nice little pricetag (I think 600) on it. I ended up getting my Mossberg from the first place we went, because after shopping around they were the cheapest by about 75 bucks. If you are ever near Morehead NC or heck even around Jacksonville look for Flatwoods Outfitters, they've got one heck of a nice place w/ some pretty nice ranges and just an overall great selection. I think I'll be going back to them to get my lower for my AR build since they were only about 10 bucks more than I've found online, and buying from them I wouldn't hafta pay an ffl for the transfer.
Anyway, pics of the Mossy will be up as soon as I get back to my apartment with some decent internet. Forgot to mention the new job I got comes with a 3.00/hr raise and free insurance so that = lots more gun time soon
