    gun buyers anonymous*

    *well not anonymous but you get the idea


    as a recovering pistol buying addict i thought it would help if i started off a group session.


    ive been doing well recently, only looking in the sales section a couple of times a day
    but yesterday i had a relapse.
    tempted by the pistol sections newest addict, Andy, i ended up with an alecto and a nickle gold cup
    im currently experiencing the high of the perches and anticipation of its delivery, but i know it cant last forever
    as soon as im through this i intend to be back on the wagon with your support.


    so fellow addicts, speak up, what have you bought recently

    Daystate Platinum, Leupold MK4 and another Peli case. ALong with loads of other toys not related to shooting!

    My only problem is there's not enough to time to shoot them as often as I want!

    Ah fellow sufferer;

    I had come so far, I had sold all my extra pistols (in truth I had to, to cover my Rohm purchase) and was fully intending to avoid all extra temptations. Then whilst at the UBC meet someone let me try their QB78 Co2 rifle

    That's been my most recent purchase I do like it though

    But that's it, no more, at all, I must be strong and resist

    I must, I must, I must.........Ooh what's that then

    Perhaps a good mantra to recite to yourself?

    "If in doubt, buy both"

    Did you expect helpful replies from your fellow addicts?

    I do a lot of chopping and changing, but I've avoided the sales section so far! Recently I've had fun with the newish Dan Wessons, then struggled with the Glock SA177 - till I realised that it hated the Gamo lead bb's (as do most pistols). I have a hankering for Maks, may have to peruse for silver slides and barrel extensions (that allows a moderator to be screwed on). Also, I check out car boot sales - I have Webley Juniors coming out of my ears!

    Incidentally - could I sand down a Makarov slide, so that it would look silver?
