So I went to order a Henry

 I went to three different merchants of death.

The Henry site has three dealers in the Seguin area, two of them are closed for good.
Of the two that weren't affiliates- both said Henry's are hard to lay hands on, no matter what model and caliber.

I went to the other affiliate halfway to New Braunfels and asked. They had me fill out a request form and told me it could be as long as a year before I saw mine.

So I went to gunbroker and bid on this one with the same MSRP as one on their site.
Of course I'll probably have to spend close to another $100 for shipping and transfer fees.

So I have an old Win '94 30-30

 I went looking for ammo a while ago so I could finish sighting it in.

I bought it cheap-ish with a ghost ring site and started sighting it in, then something came up and it sat in the corner of the mud room for about three years.

After I decided to finally get it sighted in, I went looking for cheap (okay- less expensive) ammo.

JEZUS KEERIST!

Okay, we'll look at plan B- see what I can get for it ......
$200- $250......
I was bitching about it on a local FB page and started getting offers on it, but I had to start my 4- 14 hr shift the next day.

FB pulled it about three days in for selling fire arms. At least I didn't go to the restricted barracks this time.

SO......
I guess I could sell for $200 and use that to defray the cost of a Henry steel Big Boy in .357- which I have plenty of because of the two revolvers in that caliber plus the wife and her .38+P.


The only thing I don't like about Henry's (and it's probably a million to one chance I'd ever encounter this problem) is that after it gets pulled from the mag- it's free floating until it's shoved into the chamber.

If it ever comes to that, I'll be using the one the .GOV doesn't know I have.

Chambered in a completely different round.

Is this a hate crime?

 

So there I was making deliveries up in Killeen.
It was on the warm side, so I had my sleeves rolled up.
Out of McDonalds came this kid and his battle bud.
 
He saw my Seabee tat on my forearm and said Navy?!?
 

I said yes and his battle pinned my elbows behind my back.
This guy took off my cover and poured Rip-IT over my head, threw a handful of Motrin at me and yelled...
"This is Army country!"

This is another reason why

 I don't believe anything coming out of Ukraine.
From either side, or even the propaganda pushers that speak English here.

Because those National Guard troops are safe in America.

Prices and parts availability

 It works for firearms too.

If anyone's been looking for 30-30 ammo, you'll know it's like gold- not profuse and expensive.
I bought three boxes for something like $1.50/RD plus tax and shipping.
Which the prices on gunbroker reflect.

The .357 Mag ammo I have in abundance (plus the .38spl +p) are a lot less for the ammo, but the prices for the rifles show the ammo is available and affordable.

So then I found out about two weeks after I bought those 30-30 boxes- that Seguin is having a gun show tomorrow.

So I guess I'll see what the have in .357 lever action flavor or Mini-14 which is about equal to what they want for a lever action.
And what I can get for a 30-30 Win and about four boxes of hunting ammo....


Prices for .223 are much more reasonable especially if you want to wear out your cartridge extractor a lot faster.

Thank Gawd #theadultsarebackincharge

 Because Kamala Harris (who's veep theme is here) explains what's going on in Ukraine.....

-Read this in the voice of a slow seven year old explaining to a five year old-
“So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong.”

From here with the actual soundbite.

Poland understands what's happening in Ukraine

 They know what happens when countries guarantee to help defend them from invasions- but bag on that promise because it's inconvenient.............. Looking at you France and UK.

It's the same thing they're watching now when the US and UK don't step up and uphold their 1994 agreement to help defend Ukraine when they gave up their nukes.

Now  they're having a go at Germany for being so conforming to Russia and running interference on supplies to Ukraine.

I just voted in the Texas primary.

 


The list of wannabe Governors was as long as my arm.

The reason I remembered to vote was another attack ad from Don Huffines that sounds just like a Democrat attack ad.
The scary sounding announcers voice blaming Abbot for things he has no control over like instate tuition for illegals...right Rick Perry?(who also want to be Governor again)

Abbot lost me when his tough talk didn't match the (non) action, so I went with Col. West, and I'll vote for whoever's on the Republican ticket- probably.
