I just narrowly escaped credit card doom!

[Podmonkey]

At Spar Firearms in Mechanicsburg PA.
Hadn't been in there for awhile and they had such a collection of hard to find stuff as you would not belive! They had a full compliment of impossible to find Kel Tec stuff, RFBs, couple of KSGs, Sub 2000s, freaking three PMRS, even a CMR! As always a wall full of Pythons and Something of a rarity in a SPAS 12 with the original paddle safety. All kinds of cool stuff in there! Too bad you you gotta wait around for someone to man the register. I was able to exercise some self control and just walk out with a pair of shield mags, as much out of gratitude for letting me get my grubby paws on two dozen different guns as anything. I did need some spare Shield mags though.

A SPAS would be awesome. Haven't seen one of those in ages.

YOLO

I fell for credit card doom the other day and now have a Palmetto KS47 lower and upper arriving soon.

 

[Saltwater60]

I buy all My guns in cash. That way I don't get the how many more guns do you need. That will work until I fill up my safe. After that I'm screwed.

 

[Podmonkey]

YOLO

Yes but I just got my card debt paid off a few months ago! I could have racked up 15k In that place. Oh yeah! Forgot, they had a Bren 805 carbine and pistol in there to, and a Galil Ace 308, which I really want. Would anyone here pay $2,600 for a "4 Python?

I want a Python so bad it hurts...but not for $2,600!

 

[Podmonkey]

I'd do like, $1,500 for a Python, which is just about where they were at before Walking Dead. I'm in a similar situation with the Benelli M4, I want one very badly, but not at $1,800!

they are only gonna continue to go up.....buy now before you are saying "but not for $3900" " i could have had one back when they were $2600"

FU Rick Grimes!

That's damn right brother!

At nearly $4,000 just save up some more for a Korth I say. A six shot .357 just ain't worth $2600 for anyone other than a collector. When I'm ready for a revolver purchase I'll track down a 586 thank you very much!

Note to self... STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MECHANICSBURG!

Damn you guys

 

[mickw]

I, like EVERYONE else, would love to incorporate a Python into my gun safe. But not for $2600...money better spent elsewhere (like on a number of other guns, lol).

Aw come on down! We'll go shooting and broke together!

 

[Gunner57]

Aw come on down! We'll go shooting and broke together!

Fuck, it's a straight shot!

 

[Podmonkey]

Fuck, it's a straight shot!

They got a pretty kick ass AR selection, everything from DPMS oracles to LWRCs. and a Manufacturer that covers everything, everything, in nickel boron. Yknow you wanna come check it out!

SPAS 12 paddle safety is unsafe at any speed, although there seem to be some conversion parts out there for sale to convert to the push button.

I see a road trip in my future!

Yeah, I know, I'm just saying it was neat to even see A SPAS in a shop, let alone an original configuration one. Again, I'd rather spend the money on a Benelli M4. I think the only reason you'd want a SPAS is for a collection. They have been out of production long enough now, and are almost rare enough that I don't think I'd wanna shoot it and I have no room in my modest arsenal for a safe queen.

 

[Podmonkey]

It may have been too early to call an escape. That SUB 2000 is singing a siren song to me now! Someone talk me out of it... please. I don't wanna make another I'll advised purchase. Someone tell me that they had one and it was a jammomatic piece of garbage!

 

[Criticalt]

I went through the should I or shouldnt I with the M4. The devil won out and I do not regret it. Its a great shotgun and now a year later I "forgot" how much it cost.

 

[Podmonkey]

I'm trying to save up for a scope, I'm trying save up for a scope, save up for a scope, scope, scope, scope.................................. SUB 2000....... Damnit!!

 

[Shadow2]

we appear to have the same voices in our head minus the sub 2000 part, my voices are also screaming sell sell sell, everything!

I'm trying to save up for a scope, I'm trying save up for a scope, save up for a scope, scope, scope, scope.................................. SUB 2000....... Damnit!!

 

[Podmonkey]

You know what I forgot? They had an SRM 1216 too. I'd never seen one in the wild before. No idea if they are any good though. It was expensive I remember that. Very strong emphasis on tactical stuff at this place, hardly any fudd gear, that's why I like to stop by from time to time to ogle.

 

[Bananabandit]

Ill take a spas. Being a boomstick aficionado, id drop a few g's on one

It had the folding stock though.

 

[camper4lyfe]

I read the OP and all I saw was alphabet soup. I'm such a newb

 

[Podmonkey]

@camper4lyfe, allow me to drop a little learnin' on ya then.
Kel Tec RFB, a bullpup .308 semi auto

Kel tec KSG, a bullpup pump 12 gauge with 14 round capacity.

Kel tec PMR, a 22 mag pistol with 30 round (!) capacity

Kel tec CMR, carbine version of above.

Kel Tec SUB 2000, a 9mm/40 S&W carbine that folds in half and is available in various versions for various magazine types, including glock types and the 33 round variant.


And finally the fabled Franchi SPAS 12, an out of production dual function semi auto/pump that you may recognize from every 80s action flick ever, and most any video game with a shotgun in it.


Kel Tec products are notoriously difficult to find in stores, particular the PMR and CMR the latter being a near unicorn.
The SPAS 12 is also not a common sight. That's why I was agog to see such an assortment.
Edit for auto correct foolishness. New phone, forgot how to disable it.
