I just wrapped up a deal here in the cold of winter and the dead of night that was either a moment of sheer brilliance on my part, or utter insanity. I just offloaded my AR and its associated components to my stepdad for a trailer.

Yes.

A trailer.

As if I don't have enough with the two I already own. You know, especially with one nowhere near complete....

Yeeeahhh...

But what a trailer! Lol. I got a 4'x8' dual axle, hydraulic dump box. The damn things are pretty costly, even on the secondary market. I'll share a pic or two after the sun rises tomorrow and I can see to take them.

But wait, there's more!

Even with what one of those trailers cost it would have been a definite case of insanity to part with my favorite rifle for it alone. This was just one part of this deal, and a larger plan overall, because I also took possession of a Honda Fourtrax 250, with plow blade, and a Ford Taurus station wagon. Near as I can tell, we broke pretty even in this deal.

Where it gets really interesting for me is with, of all things, the Taurus. My one lament with my truck has been that it gets no better gas mileage than a full size pickup, and has 60% of the cargo capacity. With this trade deal I can sell my little Ranger, buy a full size truck, and still have enough cash left to replace the rifle if I choose. I may not. I'm going to explore some other options for a primary firearm.

In the mean time, its not like I"m hurting for long guns, either. Lol.
