The Anticipation Is Just About Killing Me...

...as I await the planned big announcement that is going to be made by ClassicArms.us early next month. Here is the way they put it, and I quote:

TODAY IS MONDAY 01/26/2009

TICK-TOCK... TICK-TOCK...TICK-TOCK...TICK-TOCK....

THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT AND SOME EXCITING NEWS THAT WE WILL BE BREAKING IN EARLY FEBRUARY.

STAY TUNED. GREAT THINGS LIE JUST AHEAD.

Now you tell me folks, should I be excited. Are they going to announce a great deal on some new mil-surplus rifles. I hope so, but gosh darn it, chances are that whatever it is they are getting in stock will be illegal here in the land of anti-gun nuts Schumer & McCarthy. Then again I may get lucky and find out that whatever they are getting in stock will be a gun that is completely legal here in NY as well as across the rest of the nation, that it will be selling for less than $250 apiece, and that it will be C&R eligible. If so, I am probably going to buy one. One can only hope.

Of course one can hope that maybe they are also getting in a huge lot of 7.62x39 current production commercial ammo that is stuff of decent quality, and that prices of 2 years ago have returned. In that case I'll be buying more than a case.

Now anything they may announce could all be ruined by an announcement that the House and Senate have passed a new assault weapons ban before then that was signed by the president almost as soon as it was passed. Chances are slim for that to happen so quickly, but you can bet that something miserable like that is in the works. Hopefully whatever Classic Arms is about to announce will assure we can get hold of some decent arms before a new AWB goes into place.

All the best,

Glenn B
