I'm betting that covers commonality with your friends quite nicely! ;)
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Actually, I bought an original flintlock dueling pistol, and ordered a percussion revolver.

Well....

I've been stocking up on ammo a bit. 6K rounds of match .22LR, 1K rounds of 9mm training ammo. I may buy a pistol anyway, just to beat the buying frenzy.

Ammo, magazines, AR parts for me. And maybe a new 9mm...
Buy ammunition and magazines.

You'll shoot your eye out!

I see little point in stocking up on ammo when one can stockpile primers. :mrgreen:

Powder is just finally getting back in stock after 8 years. Powder and Primers now, you can always decide what caliber to load for later.

You know she tricked me easy.

Anyway from that list I'd buy ammo. Plus AR lowers, but that's just me.
