Modacity shooters' thread

LOLOLOL

Election years are crazy. Remember when people bought up EVERYTHING back in 08?

I remember in early 2009, WASR-10s were SELLING for $750 on Gunbroker, and every single AR-15 manufacturer was backordered for at least a year. You couldn't find any .223, 7.62x39, 9mm, .45, or .380 ammo ANYWHERE, and most other ammo was pretty scarce too.

I had the idea today to buy this, which is 20 30-round Thermold AK mags and 5 48-rounders for roughly $8 each, taking them in the included backpack to a gun show post-election, and walking around with a sign that reads "AK MAGS: 48RD $20 30RD $15." If I sold all of them at those prices, I could make a $200 profit off of idiot panic buyers for about a day's worth of work.

Edit: There's a gun show 20 minutes from my house on November 17, which is only 11 days after Obama's eventual re-election. I think this is fate...

Buy like 10 of those packs, and then sell them all at inflated prices.

Do it. There is no cause nobler than depriving fucking idiots of their money.

I'm thinking I'm going to hold my WASR 10/63 with the 3 mags/74 muzzle break/and some E. German furniture till the gun show before the election and see if I can make a huge profit. Oh and some ammo too haha. This gunna be good.

So I got my mags in yesterday.



The Bulgarian "steel-lined" (literally the only thing that is steel is the floorplate) magazine fits great. The Thermold 48-round magazine doesn't fit at all. I would have to file down a significant portion of the mag catch to get it into my magwell, and with an all-plastic magazine, that would only hasten its demise. I'm just going to wait to sell this after the election and hopefully make some money off of it.

Do NOT buy 48-round all-plastic magazines. If you want more than 40 rounds of reliable capacity, buy a Romanian drum instead.

O_o
Even 25 round 22 plastic mags die miserably after a wee bit of use. I'm not even sure why they would make plastic mags for similar or greater capacities at a higher caliber. You sure you didn't just buy from a chinese con-factory?

Steyr is going to be re-importing the AUG to the US starting at $2,099, according to TFB. Might get one, still honestly can't decide what to be next. SO MANY OPTIONS.
