    Default More than its worth??

    I just committed an act that defies logic.

    It happened last night while I was having a weak moment and when I woke this morning and remembered what I had done I was struck with shortness of breath, heart palpitations, angina and clammy skin. It was almost like waking up next to a fat chick!

    Yes, a small amount of bourbon was involved.

    I have ordered a new stock for one of my MN rifles.

    It is the ATI polymer stock in brown and I got it for a good price at $75 and free shipping.

    I only paid $70 for the rifle I am putting in it!

    Of course that same rifle now sells for $250+- so I suppose I could justify it that way.

    I was also looking at a 10 round magazine that was selling for $40 and the realization that I was about to put $110, more then $150 including the scope, in accessories on a $70 rifle about overwhelmed me.

    I held off on the magazine. Who needs a ten round MN anyway? The stripper clips only hold 5 rounds and if you can't get the job done with 5 rounds of 7.62x54 you had better head for the house.

    Anyway, I need to sooth my stingy conscience. Someone tell me I did the right thing.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    No worries there.
    Look at all the junk people put on their EBRs...
    Doesn't add to the value of the rifle any.
    Just makes it more fun to shoot.
    If it ain't fun to shoot, you may as well have just put $70 into your gun safe and forgot about it.
    That's the part that matters.

    Kyrat,

    Let me put this whole thing in perspective for you. Nothing, nothing you ever do will be this bad....

    There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.

    Him-"Whats the best knife for survival?"
    Me-"the one that's in your pocket."
    Him-"I don't have one in my pocket."
    Me-"Exactly."

    Seriously though. As long as it doesn't look like this, I think you'll be okay.

    Only on this forum can you go from ordering a MN stock to grotesque pictures of guys barely dressed to good looking girls that I am probably old enough to be their great grandfather. That's the cool thing about wilderness survival. You never know what kind of information might save your life.....or force you to run off to the wilderness for a few days to forget what you saw. It's all good.
