You mean the Gold one right? Not that ugly Royal Blued one with the Esmeralda Grips

So if your like me and your vaccinated .... Good news! Got some chills, body aches, and a little congestion....otherwise...feel pretty decent (no temperature...not much cough). I got my 2nd dose End of April so about 8 months ago. (phizer) Cancelled our romantic dinner plans but hey silver lining now we are getting Crab Legs for dinner (delivered). Not how I wanted to ring in the New Year but honestly since Covid started I've beaten 3 tests...was bound to happen eventually. Felt pretty rough Wednesday evening...felt really achy Thursday Morning....this morning not nearly as bad went to the walk in clinic and after a 90 minute wait they had me tested and confirmed. Now in hindsight I wish I would have worn my mask out and about more during the Christmas holidays since cancelling dinner and avoiding our 7 month old sucks. Also there is the whole no going out of the house for the next 5 days (if symptom free for 24hrs...otherwise longer the DR told me) Thankful its so mild though! Wish you all a healthy happy New Year!

This is why people will sell a pencil for $1500 and give them the pappy as a gift.

I can't believe they wasted their time on this...how freaking stupid....imagine the uproar if the ATF applied that same logic.

I did get super lucky on my Trip back from Michigan and found 5 bottles of Knob Creek 12yr for $68 each at a really cool Indiana liquor store....bought 4 of them figured I should leave one for some lucky soul.

haha thats a range....all the corn whisky i try just has too much of an ethanol funk to it.

Pappy 23?

Im a pretty big Rye fan so one of my favorite obtainable Ryes is the Willet 4yr Family Estate cask strength...still a solid deal and a beautiful bottle for $55

If mine wasn't opened already I would definitely have sold it....I miss the days when you could actually get Old Forester Birthday Bourbon....now Weller 12yr commands stupid money lol.

I have been on a funky bourbon run lately...it comes and goes like my gun hobby...(as far as how passionate I am at the moment)...When it comes to ultra collectible bourbons/whiskies all I have to do is take a drink from my bottle of Willet Family Reserve 11 year (purple top) and be reminded that my palette is not nearly refined enough to spend $700+ on a bottle (I bought this thing almost a decade ago on black friday for $100). I prefer to dabble in the wow thats only $20-$30 range (im looking at you Very Old Barton) to the $45-$70 range (Knob Creek 12 year, etc). All that is to say if I had an unopened bottle of anything worth several hundred to several thousand I would either store it and hope it continues to go up or sell it and invest that money elsewhere...I definitely wouldn't open and drink it....you may not have paid $1,000 for the bottle but much like ammo last year you still realize what each shot is worth to someone else...and once shes opened there goes your profits. In case anyone's wondering I don't feel like purple top is amazing...its good...$100 good...but thats it (again maybe I just dont have the palette).

Im just here for the DD from his "Uncle"

Quick Google-Fu shows minimum of $800 max of $1800 (most likely a sale at $1000)

I understand the enjoying it...but just left West Virginia....they had one bottle..$1,000 I'd say the good ol days are gone....a bottle of OFC was $10,000

They do have armed security typically made up of off duty and retired police/military. They also have sevier county on site too. I would wager its one of the safer parks.

i definitely should have.....R1100 has its twin (we bought at same time on the clapped hipower deal AIM was running) I'll see if he can chime in with a picture of his.

Haha oh I know it’ll get some hate but trust me this ol girl was clapped out one way or another it needed some cerakote

Next gun I bastardize gonna have to be Zebra or something...maybe a Louis Vuitton

…so just for all the purists out there keep in mind I bought this thing from AIM 10yrs ago beat to hell as a project…I have a gorgeous FN HiPower in Royal Blue unmolested….this was a fun project…cerakoting and laser engraving by Corded Arms in Sevierville TN. Cuts and sights installed half a decade ago locally.

I have a dvr backed up constant security camera setup and also a ring doorbell and cam...had I to do it over again...i would go all ring...they have battery and corded options and you cant beat their complete year of monitoring for only $100 (no contract)....Costco runs deals on their equipment several times a year which also purchasing from costco gives you that costco lifetime guarantee. Go Ring and dont look back.

At the worst this was a mass shooting prevented...at the least the idiot needs to practice better firearms storage and safety not to mention be on top of local gun laws. Rare case where I think the cleaning person did the right thing and he deserves whatever the courts decide.

If you thought the 38 was crazy you completely overlooked the Standard CCI 22lr they were selling for $0.40 a round . Gun owners at large on the left and right are their own worst enemy. It appears no one bought the last 10 years things have been dirt cheap and now it’s conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory in gun forums like this one driving typically sane people to justify spending exorbitant prices for ammo instead of just sitting and waiting for prices to come back down as they always have. Practice your dry fire, take up a different hobby, go dust off the red Ryder or that old paintball gun you used to love but for the love of money please stop buying right now..until us as a gun community stops paying these crack head prices we won’t see any relief.

bite the bullet and put this beauty on Gunbroker...this forum rarely moves high end shotguns just fyi....we cheap bastards

I did some research and it appears its worth about $700 when you wanna meet up?

It really is just sad and frustrating.
