Want to Trade a Gun for Doubles (or Sidemount Tanks)

[BgDadddy]

It's me again!

I am switching over to sidemount, but I am not ready to get rid of my doubles yet. This means I need two more tanks!

I am interested in double X8-130s or TFX-133s (or whatever you call the old LP 108s that are now rated for 3442psi). I will go with plain 108s if I have to, but I would definately prefer the ones stamped with a pressure of 3,442 so I can get good fills where I live (my LDS doesn't like to beef up LP tanks).

I will take a set of manifolded doubles (with or without the bands) or two matching single tanks with good sidemount valves. I am in the Tampa area, will be in cave country from 2/1 - 2/4 or can meet somewhere in between. Must be in current hydro.


I will trade ONE of the following handguns (you're not getting both so please don't even ask):

The first one is a Kahr P-45 pistol in stainless steel chambered for .45acp. It is a nice carry piece that is small, light, accurate and utterly reliable. It is comparable to the Glock 36, except that it cost about $100 more. It includes two 6-round magazines, a Hogue slip-on grip and the original box and manual. Here are a couple of pics:




The second gun is a special edition Glock 21 that is like new. It is the "American Heroes" edition that was created by Glock in remembrance of 9/11 and it is a collectors item. It's value will only increase as time goes by. It is also my favorite gun to shoot (fortunately I have another one).

This is a very large .45acp. If you plan on shooting this gun much, you should have pretty good size hands. If you have small hands, this might not be the gun for you (from a shooting standpoint anyway). The recoil isn't bad at all, but the grip is friggin huge! This one would also be on the large size if you intend to carry it concealed (we can do that down here in Florida )

The gun includes two 13-round mags and the original Glock box (tupperware). Here is a pic of this one:



If you are interested, please let me know.

Thanks!

Rick,
Just take your guns and go rob Mike, he's got a nice set of sidemount 108's. Plus you get to keep your guns........

I hate to give a basic lesson in economics but here goes...

Currency exists to make markets more liquid. Sell the gun - and use the cash to buy tanks. The probability of finding someone with a high enough valuation on those particular guns to make this trade work is pretty low.

Just a suggestion...

Lol...he absolutely LOVES the Glock 21. He had never shot before and I took him shooting at a range down here. After I let him shoot it one time, I can never get it away from him when we go to the range.

He was the first person I talked to about it since he is moving anyway, but his wife won't let him have a gun....


What are you doing next weekend? I'm gonna be up there and he is going to be out of town.

Rick how does it compare to an HK? I loved how that gun shot. I think it was 40. I never been much of a shot with pistol but I shot a tight group with it. Now with a long gun it used to be a different story. Same story with me on the wife. I think sometimes its a good thing as she might have shot me with my own gun if I had one in the house on more than on one occasion

Hey Tom,

I'm not sure... I've never shot an H&K

Andrew, you missing the point.

I recently traded my sidemount system for a scooter. I had some gear I no longer used, and Bil had a scooter he no longer used.

If I had sold the gear for cash I would have probably done something stupid with the money, like pay bills. This way, I have another scooter.

You don't know what your missing.

That is classic diver delusional thought process right there, I like it. I have an H&K USP45, and it shoots sweet, little more recoil than a Glock, because the slide is heavier with the hammer and all.

Good point. My bad!
