I am a poor college student and as such I must plan my gun purchases well.

I just ended the semester and if finals go well I may get me a Remington Home Def. 870 from the gunshop where I work.

The question is, what do I do after that?

I am looking at 5 things


1-- A Howa 1500 in 308. I have no scoped rifle. It can share ammo with my FAL.

2-- A M-1903A3 from the CMP. Cuz they are cool and would go well with my Garands

3--A Romanian FPK to fill the scoped rifle niche, an share ammon with my M44

4--A suppressor for my P22.

5--Save for the FS2000. Cause its freakin cool.

I have most other needs filled besides a Tactical shotgun and a scoped rifle.

I get to go work this spring, so I will have more Income than now. So maybe two or three are possible, but I can convince myself back and forth on waht I should get.

If you are poor, then you have no business pissing away your money on an expensive luxury like firearms collecting outside of buying a good defensive arm.

Save your cash, pay for school, get a good job, buy a house, then consider the guns.

Ok, true. Lemme clarify.

I guess I am not poor.  Being in college with only partime work leaves me poorer than I was before I went to school.

I can afford guns, I just have to space them out and save heavily for anything over $400 or so.

Many college students spend their time partying, buying computer stuff and working on cars or what ever. My hobby is guns. That is it.  I drive a pickup truck. I dont have an awesome stereo. I dont drink or eat out.

I dont mind not having those things to have the ability to get guns.  Shooting and working on guns is one of the most relaxing things I can do.

So I retract my statement about being a "poor college student."  I am a low income student. But I get by.

Just FYI: The CMP is sold out of 1903A3's. They still have regular 1903's however.
