When I started this thread I certainly didn't mean to ruffle feathers. Sometimes I'm just out of touch. I always worked hard and made good money. I decided to pay off my house with the retirement money. I am lucky in that I can live reasonably well on SS. Not everyone can say that. But still living on a fixed income requires saving pennies and budgeting. When I see something I want I save for it little by little until I have enough . . . just enough. LOL! I thoroughly review prices on a vendors website. So anyway I had enough to buy my barrel, breech plug, four barrel lugs and the sights. So when I called the vendor to order the items, the prices were higher than listed online so I didn't get the sights. Never did well with surprises. And I'm surely not clairvoyant. I was told by Pecatonica that he has needed to update the prices online. He apologized for not doing it and all is well. They are good people as I've bought stocks from them before. Even if I was again knocking down the big bucks I would still want to know what I was looking at up front. But, I'm good. I'll get my sights & a Chambers Siler next month. I'm sure that many here live on SS (fixed income). So we do the best we can to acquire our toys. I was chastised by a member both on this forum and in private conversation having to do with being frugal and saving money. So, let's show understanding and respect for others. We all do the best we can with what we have.
