yeah, its my rifle and I still have to wipe my mouth

Its like one of those girls from High school that you want so bad and then you actually get.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I had a pretty good time in highschool and got most of them so... I just won an auction of the girl i have been looking for, for awhile so i hope it turns out good for me.

in this case yes it is a good thing but as far as getting those hard to get girls in school....99% of the time they are more trouble than they are worth. what did you win at auction?

A rifle that will go in the main forum when it gets here. If it looks like the pictures i will love it. A 40 VKT M91.

Any excuse to show off my stuff. I sold it and the
buyer had "buyer's remorse" and sent it back. I am SOOO grateful to have it back.

Buyers remorse? I have never heard of that. I have heard of sellers remorse though. Nice M17 Bern I think these look great but they would have to lower the price on them for me to get one.

yeah "buyers remorse" is a phrase new to me I once bought a 03a3 from a online classifieds and there was like no bore left.... I still had no remorse but then again an addict will take anything right?

Looks like a nice rifle from what I can see of the pics, cell phone camera?

This is an excellent camera that I have used for over a year now, takes surprisingly good indoor pics for a point and shoot. I have no idea why it's selling for so much new when I paid much less when I got mine, but note that there are several selling used for under a hundred bucks.


Addicts need clear, well lit pics to feed the addiction

This is also a very good one, I used it before the upgrade to the 780 about three years back, and it's a bit cheaper.

haha JYD is criticizing my pictures . seriously though the pics are from a digital camera that just sucks........... i do need a good one to replace it with.

Nice 1917, Bern. Thanks for posting.

I have a really bad camera and i can get semi good fotos from it so it just has to be the so called operator (error)

NEVER my fault

Cell phone cameras can surprise you. I took these with my cell. You can take good pics with a crap camera if you have good light. Take lots of pics and choose the best ones.

That's what i do. I take alot and then when i get them to the computer i weed out the out of focus ones if i can. I can never tell if they are out till i put them on the comp.

Really nice 1917 I would have purchased over an AK anytime, I have only had buyers remorse when buying sight unseen from a distributor or big mail order out fit and getting something totally mismatched or just simply not worth the money, never on an over the counter or private sale where I could inspect the firearm. Plenty of sellers remorse though.
