Get a load of this

A few high quality guns may be better than a bunch of cheaper guns in a survival situation. That is if you're actually going to use those guns.

On the other hand, those who have a bunch of lower-end weapons means they can trade them off. Same thing with all that ammo-- in a survivalist type situation boxes of .308 ammo may be the equivalent of stacks of $50 bills .

I was thinking more of the "survivalist-type situation" we have every four years.

One of my best friend since the 7th grade went out this week and dipped a butt load of money. Now when you think butt load it might bee 3 or 4 thousand bucks over a 3 day period. Pocket change in this case.
He hadn't touched a firearm since 2016 and we were members of RBGC ( River Bend ). So he gets a wild hair and he says something told him to get ready. He goes out and purchases a HK MR762A1 ( hell of a rifle ) for $3,700. Then buys a Ruger small frame AR 7.62/ 308 rifle 900 bucks. Then to top it off a Benelli tactical shotgun with a titanium finish 3000 large. So far we are at $7700 ballparked. Then to top off the gun buys he buys ten 1000 round cases of 7.62mm ammo for a grand a pop. So that's a grand total of 17,700 before tax in about 4 days time.
I couldn't believe it and actually thought he was trying to pull a Greg Vess and laying in the bulls**t and see if I would bite. However I told him to send pics just to verify the information before I bit. Sure enough he is telling the truth on this one. 4 purchased 18,000 ( close enough after tax ) in 4 days on guns he will probably never shoot. I am simply floored.
I wish I had his kind of money. He has it made, he works for his wife owes here own business. All he does is save money and I imagine he makes a good lick since her expenses for getting back and forth to work are covered since it's her job as well.

I wish I could be appalled at his reckless spending on "stuff" like this.....but I'm right there with him.

He banked well over $200,000 before he even worked for his wife and he still had that after he bought 40 guns and enough ammo to hold off an army. He just wanted to get into a different business. He did build and sell rustic Mountain furniture for rich clients out of Florida. They had more business than they could keep up with and he made a killing there. He just took that job I guess 10 years ago so when he was 46 years old. She just needed the help and he's a good worker and pays close attention to detail which is important in that business. Him working for his wife is a brilliant decision for both of them. She is paying her top man ( her husband) and it goes back into both of their retirement fund. It is not a bad move. These days it's couple making those kinds of moves that will make them extremely comfortable in their retirement. I wouldn't look down on him for that. It is a very smart decision for them both.

I'm elated to hear it works out great for your friend.
Just wouldn't be my jam. My sanity needs that separation our careers provide.

Yeah I can relate to that completely. He is so laid back he just lets everything roll off his back. I have been the same way for the last 20 years but before that I couldn't have handled it. He is a handful to deal with so I have to give props to her for keeping it together. Just the other day he texted me and said he had just come out of the lions den that morning. I asked him what he did and he replied " I spoke ".

He has a ton of both. A lot of cheaper simple guns but at the same time he had to buy the best of the same type while he was at it.

If he's paying a buck a round for NATO ball in those kind of volumes, he should give me a call - he's being ripped off.

It's Federal premium 168 OTM he says.

That's doing self-defense with style.
