Its nothing special, just a base model bushmaster. I'll be slowly turning it into what I want as money allows.

Nice!

I told my wife a while back to get swap mounts for the RX7 and showed her specifically where to get them so she ordered them. Also got a shop vac from the in laws and a pulldown ladder for the garage from my dad. Bought the wife a DSLR camera and a Kindle Fire HD 8.9, she has been taking photos non-stop since.

I got a new putter and some clothes from the old ladies family. Doing round two of Christmas with my side this weekend. What did the AR set you back if you don't mind sharing? My dad and I have been looking around but prices are sky high on the few that are left around here.

Got a netbook and a bunch of other misc things to help with my move to UNI in a couple weeks.

Other then that just got some cash, but its likely I'll just put that towards my move too.

It was 950+ tax. I bought it in western ks at a smaller gun shop. All the prices there were very reasonable, even though they've gone up about $200 since the spring.

I got some Christmas cash and put that with my own to buy new suits. Too bad I can't properly enjoy them until I get them back from the tailor on Jan 3rd. I also stocked up on condoms.

Hunting and Shooting supply couldnt cut you a deal? I know hes out at the moment, but hes usually pretty fast.

Thats a good deal based on what I've seen lately.

He posted something on Facebook about starting a waiting list for the ARs that he has on order so I emailed him and never heard back. I was just at Cedar Valley Outfitters in Marion and Ernie, the owner, was saying they have no clue when they will see one come in and he has a ton on back order. He did have a about 30-40 Magpul magazines though.

I'll probably end up waiting until spring time. Either they will ban them or the public will lose interest and maybe the prices will come back in line with where they were earlier this year. Not holding my breath though.

Got some cool stuff from the girlfriend, well fiance as of the 22nd. My birthday is on December 22nd, so she kind of goes all out. Got some clothes, tool cabinet, GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition, and a few other little odds and ends. Parents just gave me some cash as usual.

All in all, a pretty good Christmas and Birthday.

Question. What do you guys get other people?

I know of a few people got up to $10k, what the hell do you give those people?!

I could never imagine getting $10,000 as a gift.

We put a $50 cap on gifts for family members and if we cannot think of what to get them we give them a card with the cash in it. $50 may not seem like much but it adds up when you start adding in everyone.

I've heard of a friend of a friends grandma who gives out $25k to each of her 7 or so children and grandchildren get $5k checks for Christmas. old farm/land inherited money

i have mixed thoughts on people that get large amounts of money from parents. especially when those people are failures themselves but have nice things because of what was given to them. but then again, if my parents wanted to buy me a house, i can't say i would turn it down. unfortunately, I will never get that option but i know people that were given houses or their parents pay all their mortgage/bills.

If you're shaving your balls with that, you're doing it wrong.
