Buying a Rifle Part 2

********Trigger Warning – Adult Profanity coming up!**********

Yeah I am a real windy Bastard at times. So thank you for bearing with me so far!
  Now where was I? Oh yeah buying a Rifle! As you can see my my C.R.S.* is acting up!
 Let us say that you have found a worthy candidate of a Rifle to add to you group of foster guns. As President Teddy Roosevelt (The Good Roosevelt*) would say “Bully!”.
  Right! Now is the time to turn on your cold hard eyes and do a serious inventory on the condition of this Long Arm.
Now I generally start from the Butt or bottom of a rifle and move my way up.
Does this rifle have a but plate or a recoil pad on it. If so what shape is it in?
If it has a recoil pad. How hard is it. I have bought some rifles that the pad could break concrete.
If you have to replace the pad. Then it will probably cost you a C Note or $100 dollars to those Yankees out there.
Are there any cracks, scars, scratches,blemishes on or near the toe & heel of the butt? If yes then pass on it. Unless you get a big discount.
Yes! You can replace a stock. But that is very expensive. With either your choice of wood or a good plastic one.   (I hate most plastic gun parts by the way)
So when I say expensive think at least $200 and up. IF you can find a good Gun Smith & if he has time for it. So add another couple of hundred to the tally.
NO I AM NOT TRY TO SCARE YOU! But I do want you to go in with your eyes open Okay?
Unless you can get a good deal on E bay. But that can be a gamble at times with E bay.
More later
* Theodore was a great sportsman and had a great collection of guns. Hopefully one day. I can go to Oyster Bay, NY and see his home. Which has been turned into a Museum. Serious Hint – By the by. Did I mention that I take gifts on Paypal by the way?

Buying a Rifle- Part 1

Image result for buying a gun
Now I have written before about buying a pistol and later on I will post something about Shot guns.

If you have the burden of living in the Peoples Republic of California and some other states*. You are going to have to buy a gun safe. But I will write about these at a later date. But it is a good idea anyways.
  Now again Rifles come in these basic formats
Gun Infographic (see link for more) - visit us at the World Shooting and Recreational Complex, Sparta, ILor the Fully automatic mode like the AK-47**
Image result for ak-47
Assault Rifles like the AK-47** – Which contrary to Media BS is basically illegal to have in Most Places in the USA.
 

** There are versions of the AK-47 out there. But they are only Semi Automatic. They can be converted to full Auto. But if you do & when you get caught. Your new Room mate is called Bubba and he thinks that you have a pretty face.
So unless you do not want to get in touch with your other sexual self. I highly recommend not doing this foolish thing!
