Broke Again - bought 57, 25, 14, & Combat Stocks
I traveled up the coast today to see a dealer who I'd previously purchased numerous handguns from. I only went to look for a Model 14 shooter to use to compete in ISSF Centrefire Match. Turns out I bought more than that. Now I've got to submit the necessary paperwork to my States Firearms Registry before I get issued a permit to go and pick them up.
Here are some photos I took at the dealers. Sorry for the bad quality; lighting was an issue.

Very nice!
It's always fun to find a good collection of shooters all in one place AND have the cheddar to snap them all up.
Good job. I like the M25. I still need one for my collection.

So, how did I do?
Model 14 - $650 AUD - $460 USD
Model 57 & 25 - $1500 AUD each - $1063 USD
Combat Stocks - $100 each - $71 USD
(At today's exchange rate $1 AUD to $0.71 USD)
I expect I overpaid for the two N Frames but they are rather uncommon here in Australia since changes to Handgun laws in 2002.

Well, it's not like you wasted the money on something stupid.

Broke? No, you found the only cure for the Smith Bug Disease.

Good price on the 14, reasonable on the 57 and 25, and about a third of the US price on the combat stocks. All in all, I'd say you had a great day.
