Default What firearm or firearm related item did you buy with your tax refund thread.

It's that time of the year, tax refund time. For those that get a tax refund, congrats. For those that have to pay up, my condolences. So what firearm related item did you buy with your tax refund?

I'll start...sorry for the size of the picture...no photo editor...



Sig P250C. I appreciate a good double action only trigger. I've never had any issues shooting a decent DA trigger. The Sig P250 has an excellent DAO trigger, no stacking, easy to stage, long DA reset. I passed on a plain Nitron finish (black) P250 to think about it. When I went back the next day, the store was sold out.

Went to my LGS with no intention to buy. I went to just relax, look at the empty ammo shelves, empty display cases, and observe the crowd. Then there it was: two tone, diamond plate, extended threaded barrel. The only one they had was the display model. I had the salesman put it back. I didn't need the two tone, diamond plate, and a threaded barrel is pointless in Illinois.

I walked away for about 10 minutes. LOL. Apparently I have a unicorn Sig P250. I can't find this combination of features listed on the Sig website, active products or discontinued products. I know it's a new generation P250 from the external features. The LGS was packed, and they said they'd find the box and paperwork later. I asked if the pistol was issued with 2 magazines, and the salesman said all new Sigs are issued with two. I know this isn't true, because the SP2022 is issued with just one. Salesman said 2 magazines, and if not he'd work it out.

The LGS has a check out form with all sorts of disclaimers on it that the buyer must initial. One of the lines affirms that the pistol is bought as you see it. I wrote in "Pistol, box, instructions, 2 standard capacity magazines.", and initialed it. The salesman and the checkout accepted the form & the terms. Got it on paper, no ambiguity. I'll see what happens when I pick it up this weekend (IL 72 hour mandatory wait period grrrr...)

What is this tax refund thing of which you speak? My wife and I always pay the government a substantial amount. They never refund anything.

Purchased my dad a Mec 600 Jr Mark V in 28 gauge to replace his Lee Load All. He can no longer shoot 12 gauge (even light loads) and couldn't afford a new press and a shotgun. So he got the shotgun and I purchased the press along with some reloading components. Money well spent. That's about all I got back.

I came out seventeen bucks negative after a tiny Fed refund, paying the state an amount in the single digits, and paying the tax preparer.
Which means I've got things right where I need them.
Big refunds are for suckas.

Agreed. Giving the Federal and/or State government an interest free loan all year long is for suckers. I claim the lowest possible on my payroll deductions. In spite of this, I still get a few hundred back from the Fed. For the first time ever, the State of Illinois owes me $1. It's going to cost the corrupt State of Illinois more than $1 to get that buck back to me.

I don't intentionally give them more than I should but my annual bonus is unpredictable so I estimate conservatively and then a good bit of what they take from the bonus comes back.
Bought a new mattress, dishwasher and flooring for the kitchen.
My S&W 9c came from my bonus.

If I didn't buy so many tools and have to pay uniform fees I wouldn't get a refund. This year I got 1600. Time to adjust my withholding

Oh and I got this.

I'm self-employed, had a lot of deductible expenses this year. On top of that, business is slow. So, we expect to get a nice chunk back. We'll use it to go to the NRA convention in Houston next May. The wife's idea; she recently became a Life Member. What a girl!

I got a Sig SP2022, Remington 870 Express for the woods, few hundred 9mm rounds, few bricks of 22lr, and a few hundred 12 guage shells in various forms. My wife and I do fairly well with deductions so we get a good chunk back plus I get my bonus this time a year and it was outstanding this year.

I owe'd the feds big bucks, and used the 500 I got from the governor for the purchase of my Chinese SKS. Which I am planning to put in a bullpup stock and show my dad there is no need to spend 1200 bucks on a AR to have a good SHTF, CQC style weapon.
