Help, I have an Addiction!

[duca]

Has anyone taken advantage of Kibler ‘s kit sales? I was on the other day and they have some pretty good deals on there. I pulled the trigger on another SMR . I just finished building one. This will be the fifth one I’ve put together. A colonial, a wood runner, and two SMR‘s. This will be the third. Oh my God I can’t stop. Help. My wife does not know about this one.

Lol, No...

 

[Jamie Hurley]

Yes, I'm in that boat too. I've done two Colonials and two Woodsrunners since September. The results keep getting better, it's fun, it's relatively easy, the rifles look great. Hard to beat.

What girls don't know , won't hurt. Dear old Dad taught me that , when he handed me my first .22 at age 7.

It’s fun and enjoyable to.

I hear that a lot of the modern black rifle guys make sure that all their rifles look similar so their spouse thinks they just have a few. Sounds like you are on to something here by ordering basically the same model over and over.

The cure for the addiction is too horrible to contemplate. So just enjoy the ride.

You're not helping the rest of us to resist...

Resistance is futile.

I just did likewise. Made the mistake of clicking on the different stocks and saw "the one". Until then, I had no intention of buying another rifle. My wife gave reluctant approval after promising to sell one of my SMR's. In my defense, I didn't say when.

 

[Adam in WI]

I didn't say when.

You could always ask if on your deathbed counts, but she may offer to expedite the date

As a wise man once told me, "she'll get over it". That's what I'm hoping for.

They had a couple very nice sugar maple stocks that were a bit tempting. But there was one. Looked extra fancy with lots of that flame looking curl. It also had a couple of large staining areas that I thought added more interest. So a bit of a discount for that. I went back several times and just could not pull the trigger. It sold.

Then I thought, maybe call and ask about one of those extra fancy with that flame looking curl, but with lots of staining. Maybe worm holes. Not enough to compromise strength. Just too ugly to sell to most people. The kind of stock that could have been exceptional. But ends up in the wood burner. I'll keep thinking about that idea for a while.

Just remember, one day she will try to sell them for the price you told her you paid for them.

...and that's the real reason I setup a gun trust with my nephews and their kids becoming trustees.

Interesting. If you don't mind could you send me a PM and let me know how you did this? I am in the same boat.

Someone, possibly one of you, saved me from getting another SMR kit. I had one I wanted and took the time to email a question about the kit. After reading the answer I went to order the kit and it was gone!

i found out a long time ago, there is no cure for our disease, there are only treatments that will temporarily ease the pain. the treatment is to buy one more every time the sickness takes over,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I will PM you, but I will also give a short explanation now in case others are curious.

Initially, I setup the trust for NFA items. The federal laws changed so they are a little less attractive, but in my situation this is still worthwhile. I assigned everything firearms related to the trust. I already added one nephew and will add the other two this spring.

When I pass away, they'll control the trust. In time, they can add their sons and daughters (they already have 6 combined) and so on. Because all the NFA items were transferred to the trust initially, and all the other firearms later, the trust owns them. So there are no additional transfer fees, nor any inheritance tax. When my nephew's son (currently 8) has grandkids or great-grandkids, he can add them as a trustees to the same trust, 100 years after I am dead and gone.

I've added the most items to the "collection," but there are guns from my grandfather and my great-grandfather too. Nothing has to be divided up, everything stays in the family. I plan to add two restrictions when I add the other nephews: 1) a majority have to agree to selling any item, 2) other trustees/family have "right of first refusal" for any item the majority agree to sell. While I am alive, I have total control, but I need to set things up properly for the future to protect everyone.

This is for Texas, I have no idea what rules prevail in other states.

The outfit I used to set it up is Willi Law Firm, P.C.
The cost includes him defending the trust (although I doubt my great-great-great grand nephew can count on that).

I know we were joking before, but it's a real issue I've seen where club members or other's pass away and the spouse or other relatives are left selling stuff they know nothing about. There are plenty of vultures and they'll come in, buy the whole kit and caboodle for a song, and the spouse has no idea they've been swindled out of $10K, $15K, or $50K.
