My New Guns

I earned some extra $ this summer and I had compiled a short list of firearms that I wanted to add to my collection. I have nothing in the .30 cal rifle category (my collection is very small), so I was looking at several possibilities there, bolt and semi. I have no lever guns and I have a hankering for a Marlin Guide model. I could use a nice moderately priced target .22 rifle and/or pistol. The Ruger Blackhawk Convertible caught my eye. And I still don't have an AK type rifle. So many to choose from.

I talked it over with my wife, and we decided on the following three: DPSB5196BWW, WHSB8000BWW, and PDW7300G. Before you start trying to look those up in your gun catalog, try the GE major appliance catalog instead.

    Check the GE website i think there is a "rebate page" on two of those, that they are not telling you about at the stores. i got a washer and dryer 2 months ago and store gave us paperwork for $25.00 rebate, when reading instruction to send for rebate there was a web address,(can't find in in my history!dang it). when i went there i found and extra rebate on the washer for $75.00( total now up to $100.00 for that one) and a extra $35.00 for dryer( total up to $60.00 on that one). boy was i happy, lol. i also sent in to the gas company for a one time rebate on the dryer, they will review the make, model etc, and credit my bill if it is on there list. my neighbor got same model and got $45.00 credit on his gas bill!

    "Loose lips sink ships!" There are some things best left undiscussed. I darn sure would have salvaged something out of the deal!

    University50, thanks! I'll check it out.

    Iconoclast, there's gonna be a gun in there somewhere once the dust settles, but it looks like only one and not a real expensive one. Maybe if I get those rebates...

    Blade,
    I am lucky, in our household, once the bills are paid, and some is put away in savings, any extra earned is the property of the spouse that earned it. I take on alot of extra hours when possible, and she teaches summer school. That gives each of us some extra. Sorry for your loss.

    Do not mistake my kindness for weakness.

    Years ago I bought a Springfield 1903A3 (Smith Corona) and two M1 carbines (Underwood, Postal Meter) on the same day at a gun show. I told my wife about the purchases, of course, but did not elaborate. To this day she thinks I bought business supplies.

    Just a suggestion.

    Why does man kill? He kills for food. But not only for food; frequently, he must have a beverage.
