I like it, but this core offering is a blend of several finished bourbons, so if you’re a fan of finished whiskey, you’ll probably like it...if you’re not a fan, then maybe not. Is it worth a C-note...probably not, but everything special or limited edition in bourbon these days is getting more expensive these days.

I think you’ll enjoy it...open that thing already!

Yes, and I actually got lucky in a late December store raffle and was able to pick up a 2nd one at retail while earlier raffle winners passed it over and chose bottles like Weller Antique 107, Weller 12 or Elmer T Lee. I’m trading that one with a friend for some of his older Evan Williams Single Barrel vintages. The 130th is good, but I’ve had some Four Roses Single Barrel cask strength store picks that were probably better, especially when the price is taken into consideration...even at retail.

How did you like it? I had a taste of this during my Lux Row distillery tour last Spring, and liked it so much that I bought a bottle in the gift shop. I’ve picked up several more since then.

Haven’t posted in awhile, but thought I’d post some interesting purchases over the past few months. I fell deep down the Scotch, bourbon and rum rabbit hole a few years ago, and spend more time with that hobby lately than I do with guns.

I have quite a few Enfields, but this is my holy grail gun. I just never could bring myself to spend what they were bringing close to 10 years ago. Now I’m kicking myself for not getting off my wallet then, because all Enfields have gone up in price, especially the sniper rifles.

All of the 8mm Yugo Mausers that I’ve seen, and bought sight unseen, have been completely covered in cosmoline and very well preserved. Many of them have seen little use and/or were armory refurbished and covered in cosmoline for long term storage. If I didn’t already have two or three of them plus several other 8mm Mausers, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one of these...sight unseen (although the “fair” condition statement might give me cause to hesitate until I talked with someone at the retailer for clarification).

I haven’t made up my mind yet, but if I am going to submit paperwork, I know I need to do it soon. I carried a 1911 in the Marine Corps, so there is some nostalgia in owning a surplus military 1911, but I’ve got several 1911s already in different configurations, so I have to ask myself if I really need another safe queen. I’ve bought several M1 Garands from the CMP, but the requirements for purchasing the 1911s are more onerous. Most of the onerous requirements were mandated by politicians, but some were done just to appease anti-gun liberals...double background checks as one example.

I can’t believe nobody is interested in this beautiful revolver. I’ve already got one or I’d be jumping on this.

I’ll take it! Sending PM

I’ve got the Swedish version that has been converted to the later Danish 8x58R caliber. This is still tempting if you were closer.

The same kind of naive thinking that this couple exhibited is what causes so many other poor real life decisions by progressive liberals. I understand that they want the world to be a peaceful and loving place, and if I could clap my hands and make that happen, I’d do it. Unfortunately, we live in the real world, which is sometimes a brutal, ugly and unsafe place. If more people really understood that, we wouldn’t have so many anti-gun groups, illegal alien protectors and snowflakes that get their feelings hurt when someone says something they don’t like or don’t agree with. I wish this couple hadn’t died, but I have little sympathy for them. They intentionally put themselves in a dangerous situation to try and prove a point that they were naively wrong about. I have more sympathy for their friends and family that survive with the heartache and loss of a loved one. Perhaps if any good is to come from this, it is that maybe their death will change the hearts and minds of others and make them realize that the world really isn’t a peaceful and loving place and probably never will be...I think history should teach us that, but the snowflakes just want to erase history so they don’t learn from it.

UnderArmor stock also got hit today due to the decline in sales at Dick’s, which Fox Business News correctly attributed to the decline in customers at Dick’s after many customers started boycotting Dick’s stores because of their gun sale policy changes. Hey, this is what happens when you act like Dick’s!

Sold pending meet!

Bump for one and only price reduction.
