Gun (Not So Much) Fun

To tell the truth I didn't expect this. The Marlin .22 plinker I bought should have been common and available, it not being an Evil Black Rifle and all. Getting the gun with only one magazine was mildly annoying.

So I go shopping for stock 10-round mags for the Marlin:
CTD                                        $12.12      Out of stock
Bass Pro                                $20.00      Out of stock
Sportsmans Warehouse      $14.99      Out of stock
Brownells                              $24.99       Out of stock
Midway                                 $16.99       Out of stock
Marlin Factory                     $21.xx        Out of stock

Even the rifle was listed as out of stock.

How about an extended mag? What I've read suggests that I'll have the best luck with the ProMag 25 round model:

Promag                                   $21.42       Not listed as out of stock, but...*
Natchez Shooters                 $16.99       Out of stock
Various other sources         $14- $18    Out of stock

*They say they can't guarantee delivery dates but at least won't bill my credit card until the order ships. Haven't seen a billing from them but the mags become illegal Monday. I'm going to have to make some friends in Cheyenne where I can pick up mail deliveries.

Checking for zombies outside in the street....

Here is a page from GunBroker with some marlin mags: http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=marlin+magazines

You might get lucky if you look around on some of the other auction sites. Beat the deadline!

July contest up soon?

July contest will be up Monday AM, or maybe tonight. Gives the early birds a shot at Sunday.
