The Kimber conversion kits work with the 4 and 5" barrels.

oops, I misspoke, mine's a 3" barrel :)

Friend of mine posted on Facepage yesterday that he was at a gun show.

$750 for an AR lower at a gun show? Are you friggin' kidding me?!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

For Christmas I got the wife (and me :tu) a membership to an indoor range & local shooting academy. It's been a while since my army days when I qualified on a .45 & M16, so I'll need a bit of brushing up. My wife has never shot, but has wanted to learn for sometime. We went for the first time Friday and rented a Glock19, here's the results of the first 25 rounds she ever fired:

Only missed the target once, everything else was inside the lines at 25 feet. Pretty good for the first time out! She's planning on going at least once a week, renting a variety of handguns to figure out what we should purchase, and has enrolled in a training class for women.

Nice shooting!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I figured you meant 3" since it's an ultra not a pro, but wanted to make sure anyone else reading knew the rim fire conversions will work on the 4 and 5"barrels

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I saw that too, plus the cheapest 30 rd AR mag at 85 bucks...makes me glad I stocked up a long time ago

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's what she said!! :sl :r

Brian,
Are you heading to the Ft Lauderdale show on the 12th/13th?
I am going just for laughs to see how crazy the prices are right now.
Planning on also doing the Miami one the following weekend.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Lol where have u been? It's been like that for over a week. Supply and demand

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have my upper kit, 12 lower receivers, and 4 (30) round mags. I'm not in a hurry to pay the inflated prices. I'll turn around and sell the lowers for some good money when they finally come in.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

At this point, finding the parts to complete the lower is getting harder than finding a stripped lower. Most shops switched all of their machining time to just making lowers!

I'm heading to the gun show next weekend to see the carnage. Wish I had an "extra" AR to sell, I'd do it in a heartbeat...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm planning on going on the 13th, need to grab a few toys for the new 1911.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice Gerard!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I sold two off in 08' after the election, made a killing and paid for two more outright :tu......what the market will bear I guess :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's better than I did the first time I shot a Glock!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I had just sold mine a while back (didn't want that particular model), and purchased a new one at the beginning of December. I feel sorry for the poor guy that sold it to me, he's got to be kicking himself now...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r ya, you could send him a few more bucks :lr

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Hard to believe I bought my Armalite AR-10 less than two weeks ago for $1,400 and now selling on Gunbroker for $3,000.
While a $1,500 profit at a local gun show sounds tempting, getting one at regular price during such demand times and hanging on to it until I can get another eventually when and if prices drop sounds better. Would hate to sell it and then can no longer get one.
