And everyone wonders why their powders and ammo increase every bloody time they had to buy some.

Because they go up every time a dealer buys them !
If you paid the same rate of profit that say "blue & red express" shops make the Garand would be £2500.......
you buy milk at £1 they make about 45p.
you spend a £1 with a gun dealer he makes 12 to 15p. Go to Starcost coffee and give them 80p in a pound.

They only weigh 10lbs empty so you should be ok, now dont you get too excited with the thought of hearing ping

Surely the ping thing is only satisfying in the original semi-auto version?, not really sure it's worth all this fuss!
