Went to the gunshop yesterday
On my new SU16 Alpha. Yeah, I figured it was time to buy my own.
I got the Alpha Model because I wanted the longer barrel, and I will just change the sites out with the Bravo model. After looking at the sights again, they are really dorky! lol. So the first mod will be Bravo sights. But I got a really good deal... IMO. It was $439 for the gun, $470 after tax, and $495.80 out the door!
The gun had been fired before. He said it has about 50 rounds through it. One of the local Police officers actually bought in late December and they never went through with the transaction... for reasons I don't know. But they did go shoot it. ah well, who cares. It's still "new" so I get the KT warrenty, and that's all that I really care about. They ran a 30rd AR mag, and the stock 10 rounders through it and he said it worked great.
I won't be able to pick it up in 10 days, but more like 20, so I won't get to shoot it till end of Feb sometime. I'm so excited. I hate the 10 day wait, I'm all excited, pay money, then go home and sit! grrrr!
He also has a Norico SKS there for sale. I saw it when I got the Kel Tec and it was pretty nice. I wouldn't say great condition, but very good condition. It still has the cleaning kit, but lacks the bayonet and the cleaning rod. He said he'd find me a cleaning rod. Anyway, I didn't think I'd do it so I left. But then I heard the SKS calling my name. Like sirens to a sailor. So, 4 hours later I was back at the gun store buying the SKS. I may find a bayonet for it, and I'm gonna put it in a Choat stock, I like black guns. I may have the wood stock refinished and put on, but we'll see. Anyway... $175 out the door for the SKS, and 300rds of ammo and 3 stripper clips.
Good prices IMO. I'm pretty happy. And very anxious to go shooting!
