22lrfan likes spending MY money...

Post by Joe S. on Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:38 pm

ive been lusting after the Ruger Alaskan in 44 mag for some time... i have always touted if i find one locally i would buy it... well the other day, my friend 22lrfan calls me up with that put up or shut up phrase i dread to hear... "i found YOU an alaskan. its at dj's silver mine in jackson. and its a 44 mag!"

DOH! now i got two choices. i can stop having him look for guns for me (which would probably be a good idea for my pocket book, but a bad idea for me cause that man can find a gun) and risk a constant barrage of harassment that comes after someone finds a gun for you that you have wanted for sometime and you pass on it... or... i can go buy the dang thing...

did i want it wasnt a question. i wanted it. even without seeing it i wanted it... but i just didnt need to spend the money... my saving grace is i was out of town. so surely as rare as these things are it will be gone by the time i get back into town. no sweat. "hey thanks man! i will check it out if its still around when i get back in town... (yea right, it'll be gone.)"

well, it WASN'T gone... so i got a new pocket rocket... holy sheep gun2



thanks marty youdaman

Look up FLAMETHROWER in the dictionary and there is a picture of that gun......................

I would like to shoot it ONCE..... maybe TWICE and then check myself for damage.... Smile

NICE score ! ! ! You need some of Tek's 300gr HP cast bullets or some of Bel's 330gr cast bullets for that puppy.

Nope. I find 'em, you shoot 'em. I might try it if it doesn't hit you between the eyes!

That's a better pic than your smart phone. Really looks good. If they ever start a thread "firearms I'd like to own", ban me from it if it isn't out there already. You did well Joe.
