Well, I wanted a 995 in the worst way, and I kept getting outbid on GunBroker, or the deal fell through here at HPFF. Couldn't get one locally for a decent price, and all the gun shows were wastelands. Then a few weeks ago I bid on a couple different auctions. I won one (should have it in my hands this Friday). Yay!! Finally.

Then I won another... Whoops! Really, it was a 4 week auction and I never upped my bid. I just let it go and hoped that someone would outbid me like they had for months before. But no, I won it. Good price, sure, but now I've got 2 995's. And I'm stretching the budget to get them.

What the heck do I do with them? I've been kicking around plans for a wood stock and forend... Maybe make one tacticool... Have one set up for scope/reddot and the other strictly open sights? Sell one?

I dunno. Fine little pickle I put myself in.

Well, the second one is missing a few of the parts - front and rear sights, barrel shroud, magazine, lock, and sling, so I was thinking I'd just turn right around and send it home to get it worked over. Once I got it back and function tested it, I'd probably sell it for $150 - $175 or so. That would include 2 mags and whatever I get back from Hi Point.

We'll see how that all works out. Maybe I'll want to get rid of it, maybe I'll keep it... Really want a Kel Tec P32, so maybe this will go to the 'Buy a P32' fund.

Thanks, I'll let you know.

Well, that's great if a Dunhams is nearby, but here in Raleigh, you can't find them for under about $220. Most places just want to lecture you about crappy guns and try to sell you a beretta.

After shipping and transfer, I'll be in at exactly $151. Good deal considering my locale.
