REASON FOR POSTING THIS POLL:
I’ve read anti-gunners argue that the pre-election/post-election run-up in EBR sales has been mainly due to REPEAT BUYERS. This may be the case, but based on the people I know, there are many FIRST-TIME BUYERS since 2008.
2004, just a few months before the ban went away.
December 2008.
October '08.
Glad I did!
Bought my first…a Colt 6520 in '99.
I had a MAK-90 and an SKS many years ago.I hated both and sold them within a few weeks IIRC.
I had always been far more interested in handguns.
I really caught the BRD in mid-late 07 when i got my LMT.Much of my justification was the upcoming elections…an excuse thats been beat to death since.
Late 70’s IIRC. Yeah, that long ago. Colt Sporter AR-15. Been through a few since including a couple of M16’s. Currently have a KAC SR15 E3 IWS, Colt LE6933HB (SAW modified), 2 CNC AR45SD (pre-election), a Denny’s Guns/Global Tactical Ion Bonded upper/lower (CMT) (post election) and looking at a LMT 12.5 gas piston from Grant or a Colt LE6940 (definitely post election).
I was always a ak guy got my first one in 86 in 87 I bought my first Colt sporter lightweight and the a bushmaster in 92 sold all my guns during the ban and made a great profit.Now after 13 AKs and 4 AR’s I have one Russian saiga Ak-103( got it in 04) and My franken M4 (got it after coming home from FT KNOX in 06).don’t see me selling any of these
Summer of 07…I think.
But I bought four rifles in 08!
Early 80’s. I bought an AR15 Sporter. Wish I still had it.
Feb. 2008 order date…Sept. 2008 receive date!!! :eek:
LMT MRP CQB Piston!!!:D:D:D
1993, Colt Sporter A2, no bayonet lug. Before that, it was a Ruger Mini-14, folding stock ( remember the A-Team?), purchased in 1984, which was traded for the Sporter.
I picked up my first in Jan of 1999. The other 2 the day after the election.
You can never have too many.
September 08. Figured why take a chance.
April 08 and again in July 08.
Brought an LMT during the spring of '08…brought the lower in May and saved up for the upper and BCG and finally took that home in late July.
Yes, I brought it because Obama was sure to win…
Got my 1st one about 93/94. A 20" Colt HBAR, neutered version due to the ban. Sold that several months ago to a fellow in a ban state and got a 6920 to replace it. Also have a couple other AR builds going on during the present time.
My first was in 2007 as I finally decided I wanted one. I then bought a lower and a LPK just to have one. After the election I bought the upper, butt stock and put it together. I have a Romanian G kit, receiver and compliance parts in my garage and one day I will have it put together for me.
Lower- feb. 08
Upper-sep. 08
1985, 1990, 1997 and 2005.
