Who took advantage of tax free weekend? What firearms did you buy?

[Mrwinter617]

I bought a ruger 10/22 stainless barrel synthetic stock.

Take down model?

 

[mousegunfan]

Mini 14. 10% off plus no tax. Looks like a Ruger hat-trick.

S&W 500 and some 440 grain Corbon (till my dies on back-order arrive next month). Shot it today, was surprised how light the trigger is.

New tires for the pit bike, parts for the gas grill, and another storage battery for the solar stuff. Purchased in New Hampshire, because **** Massachusetts.

The .50 round shown is a 330 grain cartridge, not one of the 440 Corbon.

Nice, I like the looks of the half under lug.

 

[Bt74]

Nothing! HAHAHAHA......I live in NH, so I don't have to grovel and be beholden to the political hacks "allowing" you not to pay taxes on a product.

Picked up a pre-owned Arsenal AK74 via FFL transfer from another NESer, so screw MA and screw their tax-free weekend. Bought 5.45x39 in bulk up in NH for relatively cheap, too. This state and it's tax collections can suck it.

Yes, I like it. Cool thing is that I had no intention of buying anything this weekend but on Friday my wife said ".. tomorrow's tax-free, why don't you go buy yourself a new gun".

 

[hankster]

Went to a flea market this am . A few purchases , no tax involved . Items were originally taxed the 1st time around.

 

[tbk5]

Nothing here either , and I live in MA. I did try. I drove 250 miles across the state visiting 10 gun shops. That part was fun but I did not find anything on my firearm list of wants. And yes, I considered ordering but the prices were a little high. It bothers me that Bass Pro was 11% less than the best LGS price I could find and there was no wiggle room. I should have just stopped at BP--shunned it to drive to the next LGS.) I would have paid a little more to leave with a rifle. But, pay more, wait a week and spend another three hours driving around next weekend to bring it home just was not going to happen.

Instead, I worked up some loads to try when my CMP Garand arrives... This waiting thing is getting old.

I picked up a 2nd gen Colt 1860 Army to go with the 1st gen (1861 manufacture). ...thinking about converting the old beat one over to belt feed.

No firearms, but our fridge died this morning. Went to sears, picked one up, on sale, plus 20% off, plus no sales tax. Not a planned purchase, but the timing was perfect

sent via carrier pigeon from a secret squirrel camp

I'm with you brother! I stopped spending money in MA. ****'em

 

[Maxpower]

Had a monster trip to the grocery store. Should be stocked up for the next 2-3 weeks! I love tax free weekend!

Saved a pile of sales tax on your groceries did you?

Sent from my chimney using smoke signals.

Yup. Wmeco paid me $50 for my old fridge.

 

[wholeFNcaptain]

This is what I bought at Zero Hour. My biggest purchase yet. My new baby! Barrett M99.

[ejc2g]

Oh man I almost bought that Barrett!! I really wanted a magazine fed one though. Ending walking out with a Scar 16 and Scar 17.

 

[Phreddei]

Bought my son a new mountain bike. Tried to buy a Ruger Gunsite Scout but walked out empty handed.

 

[moopey]

I went to a few stores looking for a magpul stock but with no luck. Ended up at D&L in Warwick and they had what I needed although I did pay RI tax. lol. D&L was pretty impressive though. It was first time in a free state gun store and I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to do with my self at first. haha. There were 30 round mags just lying around in bins, drum magazines, rifles with folding stocks......and I couldn't buy any of it (technically). They even had .308 Pmags which I really wanted but there were 20 rounders. I'll be visiting this place again in the future.

A 16 and 17 aren't bad as consolation guns go.

Try Sakonnet River Outfitters in Tiverton, RI on Main Rd. Was there a couple of week ago, they had almost every Magpul accessory there.
