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

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?!!

For Christmas I got the wife (and me

) 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!

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

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.

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

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.

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...

I sold two off in 08' after the election, made a killing and paid for two more outright

......what the market will bear I guess

spectrrr · 12-30-2012, 12:16 PM

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

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...

ya, you could send him a few more bucks

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.
