What gun related item(s) have you bought during the Pandemic?

Just before the shutdown in Nevada, I received a $25 Gift Card from Scheels, but could not use it as online they were out of stock (a rush on firearm related items?) and the store itself was closed and it particularly was out of stock. Finally they re-opened and I went down and waited in line #22 of what eventually grew to be even a longer line. In about 10 min. I got in and walked UP the 35 steps of the stairs next to the escalator, which I have never used ever since they opened. Personally proud of that fact. They did not have any freebie OnTarget magazines (available online anyways) and there were ribbon rails around the handgun cases (kinda like the waiting lines at Disneyland), so I went over to the ammo department where a employee gets the ammo you want. No browsing in that area. I told him I was interested in some .22 Magnum and he rattled off some brand names and I said I would like some Hornady V-tip. Two boxes of 100 rounds ran just about $25 anyways and I made up the tax in cash. Now I am just waiting for a weekday morn when I wake up early enough and don't fall back asleep and it is not too windy, nor cold to go out into the desert to go shootin'.
My in the Army son of of 19 years just bought a Mossberg shotgun for turkeys. He has already gone out twice, but as luck would have it, on successive days, he spotted some gobblers, but twice aborted to shoot because other hunters had moved near into his line of fire. However, he shootin' buddy manage to get a couple of they had some cooked turkey for several days.
Sooooo, what have you bought recently?

That Hide deal was right up there with the two big boxes of M118LR I got that a member here was selling.

Liberals, everything they do backfires on them, tell us we cant go to restaurants than we spend the extra money on gun stuff - maroons.

I have a real nice M19-4. It was my first handgun...a gift from my father when I turned 21. It has the combat trigger and hammer....I haven't shot it in 15 years. Blueing is still gorgeous

Sold most stuff. Want to sell more. Paid for a solvent trap that i want to form 1, but its been a week and no shipping. Bought steel from mkmachining over a month ago and it hasn’t shipped. They stopped answering my calls. Not sure why.

Bought nothing gun related. Checked the doomsday supplies back in mid-February as things were ramping up, added some more protein, asswipe, NSAIDs, baby wipes to the stockpile. Slowly saving up to upgrade the glass on the SHTF gas gun just in case COVID-20 makes the government go full retard.

A second hand Atlas bipod for a Rem 700 and a MAE suppressor to go on my Ruger 22/45. The one currently on the Ruger will go back on the Rem Mod 7 .223.

On the first day after our lockdown ended, I brought a brick of subsonic .22 ammo for the Ruger and 2200 small pistol primers.

Got my Cabelas statement and found I had $20 in rewards points, so I called them and they had recently re-opened, thanks Gov. Sissylak, so we took a drive there and I went in and got two boxes of .22 Magnum and a box of .30-.30 ammo and charged the balance on my card. Hoping for nice weather after the weekend.

I’ve been selling and buying a bunch of gun related stuff since the stay at home stuff happened. I normally travel 40 weeks per year for work, so actually being at home for 8 weeks has been a welcome change. Being home has given me the time to go through my stuff to market items I no longer need and decide what things need to be upgraded. I sold a bunch or parts, optics, guns, etc and purchased some parts, optics, and a new pistol for the wife’s birthday. Online sales seem to be generating more traffic than usual, I think many people are stuck at home bored and looking for something to play with.

same here. I unloaded a bunch of crap and replaced it with stuff that I might actually use. I'm down to only a few things that I still need to sell.

Well, wouldn't you know it. Damn boat sunk with my grandads shotgun and 45 long colt 6-shooter...

So now gunless poor...

Lots of bullets and powder back in March/ April. Started a 300 PRC build (trued rem 700, triggertech, bartlein, Manners.....the works), but still waiting on the stock. Also got a S&W victory.
From reading the comments above, it sounds like I need to go boating with it all this weekend. Seems like the best way to protect all my new stuff.

Well, FedBoi, I've purchased the trifecta of ATF items: ammo, powder, primers, projectiles, optics, firearms parts, logs upon logs of Copenhagen, and assorted yummy distilled spirits which I consume whilst assembly of all of the above.

But, you already knew that. So, whatevs

I've sold a few guns and gun accessories. The gun fund is up there.

During the pandemic I've bought a Bergara B-14 HMR 300 WM rifle, a S&W 686 Performance Center .357 revolver, built a AR15 pistol, and bought my son a Glock 43X that he'll be getting for Christmas. Bought quite a few gun accessorie, including my first surpressor, a SilencerCo Harvester (haven't received it yet).

I used my stimulus check for ammo. All of it went to ammo. My only complaint is the government stole $5,000 of my $6,200 stimulus check. If I got the full amount, I would have bought even more ammo.
