I'm on a budget so OFC someone puts a sign across the street advertising a huge gun show this weekend. BUT I also hold physical gold, silver, platinum, palladium and copper.
So I'm going to brin an element card and some ASE and fractional bars and try and barter for guns and ammo. Should be fun and very Fallouty. I'm hoping to find a cheap revolver, another simple pump to mod out, and a Ruger 10/22 to convert into a faux P90

I've been thinking about getting a Ruger 22 Charger to keep with me while I do yardwork but it's only a .22

Idk if linking to firearm paraphernalia is moddable here (probably) but this is the kit. There's also a 2 stage trigger upgrade but its another $200 and idk if i can justify that for a part. For a 22 lol

Damn dude, what's lurking in your neighborhood that you need a larger caliber for that?

Yikes. I legit empathize, my trash neighbors pit got loose last year and mauled my dog and I.
To that point, I'd strongly consider a handgun you can keep on your person (i carry a Walther PK380 with hp specifically for when their fucking dogs get loose again). Bro, it happens soooooo freaking quick you don't want to be out of reach of your weapon if a pit is on you.

Thanks @PoundGarden

I have a SAR9 which i can just keep on me outside, it's kinda big but it holds like 18+1 I think.

No problem, stay safe and I hope you never have to use it. Pepper spray is a good backup too, dogs hate that stuff

I've never been to a gun show but this would be the first time i've heard of them taking "metals" as trade. Will sellers actually take it?

I asked in one of my gold/silver groups and they said absolutely. Makes sense, the kind of person that has enough guns they don't want to justify renting a booth to sell is also probably into gold and silver and a prepper. I'm hearing you'll often get better pricing paying with metal since it's real money that appreciates, is globally recognized and accepted, and just feels good to have

Hopefully you don't have like 10k or more of shinies in those wall safes, if so you really need to upgrade those safes, its like the worst of both worlds. Easy to pry open, easy to cut out and take (with a cordless sawzall). But hey, it looks cool in the wall!!

You're assuming a burglar will even know the safes, let alone the room they're in, is even there ;)
I also built the wall they're in specifically for them, trust me, a demo saw isn't taking them out

I could swear I see the edges of those safes casting a shadow, which would indicate they aren't flush with the wall. Any decent burglar shouldn't have any problem finding them.

They're burglars, they are going to look. Do you think they only steal things that are in plan sight?

He's alluding that he built a secret room. Or something. Why you'd use the weakest/least secure type of safe AFTER going to the trouble of building a secret room though...

Not a ton of options for 4" wall safes that aren't super expensive. They're plenty secure. Even if someone found the entrance (they won't) that door also has a thick deadbolt and fingerprint lock.

What are you planning on doing to a pump mod wise?

If you want something to "mod-out" why don't you get an AR (assuming you live in a free state)?

I'd like a pump with a shorter barrel and pistol grip with no stock, just a simple lil shorty. Maybe a fore end grip. I've already got a 12g combat shotgun that I've taken as far as it can go and I just like shotties
The AR platform doesn't really do it for me.

Oh sweet are you form 1' ing (NFA item) or you gonna leave it at 18"? Only reason I asked about AR is the modularity of them.

What kinda shotgun do you already have? I have a mossberg 500 and a remington m11 (browning auto 5)

I really haven't decided yet, probably get the stock swapped out and see how it looks/feels and go from there

SDS Civet 12g. It uses box (or drum ) magazines and takes Remington hardware so super versatile and easy to set up to your tastes. Stock:


Mine



Pistol grip w/collapsible stock
Cheek riser
Side saddle
10 rd mag/10 rd drum
RDS
Short forearm
Houge grip sleeve
Laser sight

Thats a cool shotgun.

I almost bought one of those mag fed mossberg 590s a few years back (590m?). The cost of the magazines deterred me.

Lol, yeah I've passed on some guns due to mag cost too. This Civet is cool because it can take their mags which are pretty reasonable OR it will take any saiga mag with no modification needed, direct fit. So about $10-$30+ for mags if you shop around

That faux P90 kit is pretty sick, never seen one of those before. Gets rid of one of the worst things about a P90: buying 5.7.

I still need to get an optic for my Scorpion, but I saw one of the RIA VRBP100s in a shop and felt the need for it for some reason. I'm so split.

Get both (but seriously though, put some glass on your scorpion)

Ames. I'm hoping to score a can of surplus 7.62x51 and some cheap .380 but I suspect ammo will go like immediately. I haven't even shot my new Savage because I can't justify burning 2 of the 6 boxes of ammo I've been able to find

I live in California. It's pretty pricey buying online what with the transfer fees.

Good luck. I'm on the hunt for .455 Webley which is hard to find in the best of times.

Cheaper than dirt has been pretty decent with stock but yeah that's a tough one. Have you tried using the Google Maps app and searched 'ammo'? I got results the search engine didn't. Ended up finding a boat sale/repair shop nearby that also sold arms and ammo pretty reasonable lol

What about the walls? I knew someone who was in, lets say "illegal distribution", and he kept his inventory in a room, behind a fancy steel door with electronic locks. And when they came to take his stash, they broke through the walls.
