No, I can't afford it now either, but the better question, given that it's a pre-order, is will I be able to afford it in 4 months
Oh, I can't afford this either, but I have sat on the sidelines a few times in the past and then had regrets afterwards that I wish I had bought it (like waffling on getting that H&K USP and then the handgun freeze hits). Truth be told, I got my PAL more than 20 years ago, but didn't get my RPAL till the year before the freeze. Was thinking oh, I got time (yeah...18 years of waffling) and then by the time I decided to get it, it was too late. Sadly, that was the case for many things over the years.
I am funding my gun purchases with selling stuff before the wedding...things like my old hockey card and comic book and collectors toy collections I had all my life. I am not a young guy so if I kick the bucket, my soon to be wife won't know what to do with those collections...I may as well liquidate them and get something more practical (and since she has a PAL and I soon will have extended family with PALs, at least my guns and ammo will find a good home should I expire).
I should really be putting the newly acquired funds into the wedding costs, but both of us are older and established and it's not like we are having a wedding of Buckingham Palace proportions, so it's fine...
Truth be told...since all my SAs were banned in 2024, I have been looking for something fun that can still scratch the itch, but isn't so goofy that I am embarrassed to be seen at my club with it. Now, with as many people slagging Turkish guns, I will say that of recent offerings the Alcor is EXCELLENT. And sure, it can have its furniture changed, but this Makasi is almost like a throwback to years gone by when I can take any one of my modern sporters to the club and have a hoot.
I'm still fuzzy how this made it past the C21 "evergreen" characteristics. But I digress...minor details that are not my concern...lol...
But honestly, the main reason I am buying this is because I know Poly hates stuff like this. Pop cans and gophers, here we come!!!
