So last night before I went to bed I saw an ad for a well used 2007 M16A2 PTW and just had to jump on it… For $500, it comes with a real KAC M5 RAS, real steel modified A2 upper and a plethora of other parts and I just couldn’t resist. 🙂 It’s suppose to work but frankly I don’t care, for that price even if I have to replace components it’ll still be a good deal! The lower is in rough shape however that type of thing doesn’t bother me and while I love the fact the A2 upper is real, I’m going to replace it with an A4 flat top upper as I will be putting an ACOG on top of it. 🙂 Will tweak it a bit further but this will be a longer term project as I can’t afford to blow a lot of money with Maggie out of work. Can’t wait to get it and now I have a M16, M4 and MK18 Mod 1 PTWs.

This morning we left the house at 7 AM to go to Buffalo to do some shopping and man, we should have left earlier. By the time we got to the border at around 8:30 AM, there was already an hour delay and then we hit another hour delay because Maggie’s mom needed to get the white card (don’t know what it’s called) that all visitors get when they require a visa to travel to the US… At least the Fashion Outlets mall was open by the time we were finished and we didn’t have to kill time at Walmart.

So Maggie and her mom could have some time to shop without trouble, I took Brandon and walked around the mall with him. He certainly had a good time, lots of open spaces for him to run around and we ended up at the Nike store where I bought him and myself some shoes. 🙂 Later we met up with the ladies and walked around some more and by 1:30 PM Maggie’s mom was done. She’s having knee problems and her knees were giving her a hard time so we left (fine by me) and was home by 3:30 PM.

It was still pretty early so Maggie and I then took Brandon to the local park to play and he had fun.

Hehe he’s sitting next to Brendan, another local kid and it was pretty funny when Maggie and I was calling Brandon and when Brendan’s grandfather called for him. Both kids would look and yeah the names are close enough… We didn’t stay long though, there were a lot of big kids running around and didn’t want Brandon to get hurt so we walked just walked around which Brandon enjoys too.

Later in the evening I sold the Marushin M500 shotgun and TM M9 pistol. Maggie wasn’t thrilled at me buying the M16A2 PTW so I told her I’d sell some stuff to cover it even though financially it doesn’t make a difference in our savings, I guess it’s more of a mental thing for her. Fine by me, if that’s what it takes so be it… I ain’t a collector anymore and those pieces have sat in my possession for a long time without use. Not saying I’ll use the M16 but there’s definitely a higher chance there…

Anyway all in all a good day but kind of bummed out 3 of my 6 vacation days are over already lol.
