I am pretty damn sure back in the day, that had any of us asked the DI for ear protection he would have knocked us on our ass.
You know something we dont? They sold out of HXP a while back and dont have any surplus listed on the eStore?
Busted!
Damn keyboard forgot to include the word "had".
Do recall a recent email that mentioned a shortage, but figured I was in no particular hurry to restock.
No kidding...makes me laugh just to think about it...:)
Heh, I had to go back and check. Good Gosh, I got it in 2005 for $550 bucks...as I get older, I just lose all sense of time there. There has to be an upside to that, but I can’t figure out what it is!
Yea, I ordered my first one in early 2000 and paid $325 for it. At that time it was luck of the draw but I got a nice Springfield. I bought a rack grade Greek return in 2004, refinished it, rebarreled it, and gave it to my best friend as a thank you gift for his time in Iraq. I had about $500 in it.
Nice...that was a great gesture.
A good best friend...yep!
Pricey aren’t they?
CMP looks them over carefully, grades them & prices accordingly.
If you’re not a serious collector and don’t care if it has matching serial numbers, you can get a decent shooter for a fair price.
