With a semi self imposed quarantine (68 with kidney disease) and retired I have a lot of time on my hands. I was looking at a $299 C&R SKS but with all the additional fees and tax it came to over $400 so I passed.
Looking at Bud's website I saw a Ruger 9 mm PC Carbine for $499. Free Shipping. That s 'just $76 more than the SKS plus it's NIB. So I ordered one last week Thursday, 3/26. It arrived at my designated LGS Tuesday, 3/31. That's a real good turnaround considering UPS doesn't work on the weekends and long guns are shipped by truck.
LGS had some new rules. Open only from 9AM -1PM and only allow one customer in per employee present. This LGS got slammed pretty hard two weeks ago so I understand. Had a half hour wait after I arrived but the LGS had everything ready when I went in. Although I was wearing surgical gloves an employee opened and closed all doors. Didn't have to touch anything. Had my own pen to complete the 4473 and employee opened the box . Took 3-4 minutes to get Uncle Sugars blessing and out the door.
So, for me, a smooth transaction in the age of Corona. That was my last foray into the world for awhile. My wife, the warden, has placed me on lock down for the duration but Amazon Prime is my friend.
Ruger 9 mm Take Down Carbine. Comes with one Ruger SR-9 17 rd. magazine. You can change the mag well to accept Glock mags which I have plenty. Will soon be ordering an optic and a couple other things.
