Turns out I am gay, or I mean I bought a Blaser

Had a deal going with another AR member, and when I spoke to his gun shop the own had a Blaser R8 stock listed on his website for criminally cheap.

It showed up today at my LGS and it is new in the box. And came with some kind of magazine-trigger thing and a box for the magazine thing.

Has that new plastic gun smell.

It is the green professional one.

Have other projects in work, and I am not sure if we are moving or I am going to work for another outfit locally. This virus has really postponed a lot of things for my outfit.

Back in the days before R93's turned people into cyclops, I had 4 receivers and 13 barrels. I also had a K95 I sold last year to another member. I never warmed to the K95, it is just a little too light.

I highly doubt that I will ever go to that level again, where I have 13 barrels and four receivers, but you never know.

Turns out there is kind of a shortage in the USA of Blaser bolt handle things, but there are plenty of bolt face things, and barrels. So I will figure it out after we figure out if we are moving or not.

It’s only gay if you enjoy it or fondle it.

You are just curious. I few nights of abomination, and you will be seeking to rejoin the straight and narrow.

I absolve you ante paenitentiam reverti de peccare.

You are not GAY!

You are a bloody QUEER!

I hope you enjoy your new toy

Fantastic.

Worth a few laughs anyway.

On my 2nd redheaded wife. So at least a little twisted.

Don't be so hard on Big Wonderful Wyoming, Saeed! You have mislabeled him/her. BWW sounds like s/he could be either "Trans" or "Questioning", or more likely simply "Bi". Sometimes young people have to experiment to actually know themselves.

But no child of mine would be welcome in my home if married to a Blaser.

sounds like he just bought the magazine and is flipping through the pages, but not really stopping and admiring anything.

not gay.....yet.

Nope, he is a chili head and that does strange things to you, you become delusional and your thoughts go haywire, Don't worry it will pass if you just send me some more Hatch Chilis, I promise...and yes hot by the way...

I needed a laugh, I work for the bloody government and in health and safety.

Tired of reading statistical and working on health solutions with all the stuff that is going on.

You’re not gay, it is a rifle after all.
Maybe owning a Blaser is something akin to using an inflatable doll.
Does the job, but doesn’t look right and isn’t the real thing...

24 March 2020, 08:22

Big Wonderful Wyoming

That is a wonderful thing to say.

Blaser Owners Unite!

They now sell Blaser clothing made out of fox skins for those that need it.

Like I said, I used to own 13 R93 barrels and 4 or 5 receivers. I know they shoot! So I am excited about that.

I had a friend tell me that the worst part about owning a Blaser was telling your Dad that you’re gay.
I’ve got a Super Luxus, so I can’t give you any grief.

Saeed

Now all you need do to achieve being the ULTIMATE QUEER is to go hunt with Mark Sullivan, using your newly acquired Blaser.

Don't know why one would spend money barrels that cost as much as a complete good rifle.

When one lives in the US where one can own as many rifles as one wants.

I would like to sell/barrow you a rifle but all I have is this barrel.

But the way it cost's more then a new major brand rifle.

Other then that I like Blasers

Liberace would have used a Blaser fabulously

When I was a younger kid we said, “It is only gay if you enjoy it.” Now, the kids say all you have to do is say “No homo.” Every time you use it. This causes a reverse polarity that cancels out the gayness when you use it.

So either do not enjoy it when you use it or shout out, “ No homo every time you use fire it.”

Big Wonderful Wyoming

Funny stuff.

I remember when you could say gay, but millenials act like it is the N word.

26 March 2020, 07:18

Big Wonderful Wyoming

Well if I am going to move to New Jersey it will be in the mountains.

Hes definitely got the gay. Of course i just got a 270! Of course the barrel will be copied into.7x57.

Ok, I am coming clean or coming out....

I own Blasers, I like them. They shoot straight. The don’t jam. They are kind of pretty.

I also own bolt rifles. I have a Heym straight pull and a Mauser. I have some Model 70’s customized by AlBiesen or Goens . I have some lever guns too.

I like to shoot glocks and pump shotguns...

Does that mean I am a switch hitter or a trans or what....???

I am so confused.....

This. THIS right here is the statement that proves the Blaser rot has set it. Once you start to thinking Fugly is actually pretty, you've gone over the edge and probably beyond help.

It's kind of like saying Janis Joplin was pretty.

I mean, with beer goggles on, this might slip through the attractive/not attractive filter:

But once the beer goggles come off, you're left with:

Come back Ross. Come Back. That light you are moving toward is actually a train!

Is there a 12 step program for this?????

I'm pretty damn sure I'm not gay and I own several Blaser R8's 14 different calibers and more than 2 receivers. Just not a Luddite.

Once the anti culture gay, Blaser ownership becomes accepted or intergraded into the main culture the stigma goes away. The practitioners of the deviant culture no longer see and are seen as being “different.”

Some even seek to rebel at the acceptance by the general culture.

Therefore, Blaser owners thinking Blaser ownership is normal is culture moving away from traditional morals or values.

One must ask are Blaser lovers “born that way” or is Blaser ownership a choice.

Of course, a percentage of Blaser users would not identify Blaser users, they do not use Blasers daily, only on occasion experimenting when on oversea trip.

Big Beautiful Wyoming: are you practicing safer trigger control practices like always using skin to material barrier protection when engaging in active Blaser use? This is very important especially when having multiple barrels.

I agree here, however in order for it to become accepted, they need to create a new word and get it legally enforced. Instead of a rifle, how about a "Blaser Boom Boom"? And will need to grab a letter.

Dou you suspect he is shooting a round (around), shooting his load, or both ?
