Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 6,025 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Well? Was he? Sassparilla Kid really surprised me with a couple of antique Stanley planes (a block plane and a Bedrock jack plane), and a cool hardwood mallet to accompany the Stanley Sweetheart bench chisels from last Christmas. I'm happy! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calamity Kris 2,263 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Uno built an AR15 for me, with pink hardware. He even painted the magazine pink to go with it all. :wub: :wub: :wub: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Whiskers 246 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We're sticks in the mud. We started giving gift cards several years ago. After 33 years it's harder and harder trying to figure out what each wants. I get mine from 2 local "toy" stores and a Visa I can use anywhere. She gets Visa cards that she can use where and for what she wants at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life 1,059 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 My wife & son got me Cabelas gift cards. I want a new fish finder for the pontoon boat. Looked at Cabelas on line and they have exactly what I want on sale ($100.00 off). Didn't cost me anything as I used the gift cards and my points and also got free shipping too. Now all I have to do is install it on the boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shorty Jack Hammer 54 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I got a new loading manual, a book on bullet casting, and a new digital scale.......but the best part was that when we were over at my wife's parents for our Christmas Eve gathering, my 2 year old grandson who has not started talking much and really only says "oh no" and "yay" thought I was leaving when I walked outside for a minute and started running after me yelling "pop pop"....

Widder, SASS #59054 7,858 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I got coal in my stocking....... :( Atleast you got a stocking..... ACTUALLY, although I knew it was in the box, I had not touched it nor seen it till Christmas Eve. It was a Browning Buckmark .22 Field Target model, 5.5" Bull Brl. and real wood grips. REALLY NICE! I enjoy shooting my .22's as much as any firearm I have. ..........Widder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 3,346 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 For the first time in my life, I received a gift for which the giver was required to have a MA firearms permit. Coming from a family of non-shooters, my hobby has been, up to this point, self-funded. I introduced my nephew to shooting a couple of years back, and this year he has his permit (and a brand-spanking new Beretta 92). He used his permit to buy a pound of Varget for his uncle. Man, it's great to finally have folks understand your interests and help to foster them. LL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 4,797 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Sawmill Mary got me two books; "Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms" by Bob Brownell and "Hammer Guns - in theory and practice" by Diggory Hadoke.

Smoken D 2,419 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Mine was kinda spred out over the past 2 months. Been saving money this year and just before deer season received my new Rock River Arms LAR8, which is their version of the AR-10. Built in America just the way I wanted. Second, was a real thiller, back in October from our yearly match I won 2 of 10 guns from the raffle. Did not need either, but sure almost did keep, but sold them. Then I sold my Dillon SQD and LymanyT mag. With those sales I received in the middle of December my new Dillon 650 with all the bells and whistles. Have wanted one since 1992 but just couldn't do it. With winning the guns that made it possible. Really made my Christmas and what a machine!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
