Bonus Money

So a buddy of mine got a BIG bonus. He spent it all on a spending jag, buying rifles. He got the missus something really nice, first, actually. Jewels. Patio furniture. And a new computer. He’s no dummy. But after he made the boss happy he made himself happy.

I’ve talked about him before. He’s Frozen. The guy I shovded down the slippery slope and got him to buy his first gun. Hmmm. He must have been standing on a particularly STEEP section of that slope. At this rate he’ll have his own table at gun shows in a couple years.

So what did he get? Brace yerself:

• K31 Schmidt Rubin
• CZ52 Romanian TTC (TT-33)
• An 1895 Chilean Mauser
• Enfield #4 Mk2
• Mosin-nagant m38
• Mosin reproduction sniper
• 1899 Mosin
• Yugoslavian m64 underfolding kit
• Romanian AK kit
• Bulgarian 5.45x39 Krinkov kit
• And a 10/22
  
  

And there is an order for a Garand or two from CMP in the works

And he got his XD upgraded with a trigger job and night sights from Springfield. He reported very fast service from their shop.

He needs a new BIG gun safe now, too. I picture myself getting roped in to help move it.

Many of these ready items were purchased from a gun store with a very good reputation that I haven’t visited yet. Gun Connection. I must remedy that someday.

Too bad my buddy’s bonus for a job well done came from AIG. He wasn’t even in the division for credit default swaps and securitized bond funds and whatnot. Dang shame the Congress had to unconstitutionally and illegally punish him for being so good at his job insuring airlines, and getting a big profit for his division, and such. I’m sure he deserves it for something he did. Or something.
