I picked up a 2nd job (just a few hours a week) and that helps out a ton ($100 a week for 8hrs of "work"). 3 months and you can buy almost any gun setup you want. Security and phone sales are always hiring and willing to work with your time. Ebay is just more time than it is worth (unless you have a lot of junk lying around). Plasma is only good for the occ ammo buy. Bartering is another good way. Do you have a skill? trade it for guns (web site building, basement framing, mechanic, landscaping,etc) A lot of people will trade something they don't use for what they need (aka gun for yard work).
Funding Your Gun Habit...

Find a way to save 20 to 50 dollars per pay day that goes to your gun or toy fund. I purchased a rifle three years ago after saving about $25 a pay check and the wife was shocked when I brought it home. The key was to get it out of the bank before she spent it and keep the cash in a 'safe' place. I purchased a 1911 a year ago by putting it on a 90 day lay-a-way and then during my lunch break on each pay day I would go make a payment. It took three months but I got it.
If you are wondering how do you save X amount first look at your spending habits. How often do you go out to eat? What do you do for lunch at work? How many DVDs have you bought in the last year that you have only watched once or twice? My point is if you look at where your money goes you can find a way to save.
As for your wife if you are married, if you announce that you are saving for a firearm and she is not fully supportive she will find ways to spend all the money before you can save or more important things will come up like a new dining room table or curtains :nilly: . Just remember when you ask for forgiveness for a firearm purchase, make sure she cannot get to the ammo!

Whenever you want, though I think the guys that do the regularly scheduled classes rake in a whole lot more than me.Outsider said:

Not fantastic money but, I will take it
I need an AR lower! Who has the best prices on them? With all of the extra parts that I have from upgrading mine, heck I might as well get a lower and a barrel to build another AR "for the kids" (and I better do it during this administration while the prices are reasonable)...T-Man said:
I got mine from Rainier Arms for about $100, but I saved some money becaues it was part of a 3-pack. And it was ordered with a military discount. Of course you have to have it shipped to an FFL, and pay the transfer fee.Ruger Collector said:I need an AR lower! Who has the best prices on them?
