Did I screw up???

**TO THE FLOOR IN A 63** · October 2, 2009

Wife said I couldn't buy the barrel shroud...and as a matter of fact said I couldn't buy any more gun stuff...so I bought the UTG collapsible stock....You know the one with the egronomic grip. Should I have held out for the CAA collapsible stock?? Or just bought the Tapco collapsible stock??? Who knows how long it will be before I get the ok to spend money. What is the old saying...easier to beg for forgiveness then ask permission.

Your wife is mean.

Why a collapsible stock? Aren't folders legal in WA?

I would have purchased the CAA stock...and not to open another bag of worms buuuuut UTG sucks balls.

Hopefully she wont even notice.

I have always liked the collapsible stocks since I had my AR...not to worry I will get a folder at some time when I know a ltttle more about what to look for. There are a ton of neat parts out there and I like the interchangability and just different configurations of this gun for my different moods. Woops I knew I should have waited vitamink it's a little late now....you know the day this saiga adventure began she had found out about a lasermax laser that I bought for my sig. She opened a box she thought contained bank checks and boom I was busted.

Edit: maybe even a bottom folder???

I usually don't have an issue with anyone being angry about my purchases as my caa tube and magpul stock look similar enough to my tapco unit that it never raises an eyebrow. Maybe if you talk to greg at css he can start shipping you stuff in sneaky packages that she won't be inclined to open. Maybe get a box of Mobil 1 oil, empty it, and fill it with goodies.

Just buy it and then leave it out somewhere in the open but out of the way like next time you're working on the gun. If she asks, you can go... "Oh this? Sheesh, have had this lying around for 6 months..."

Hide the original part and tell her you traded parts with someone.

Yes, you screwed up. You should have bought the Wife an S-.410! Get her addicted to your hobby and she will be a lot easier to get along with!

I agree in general principle, but... a real woman, (one worth marrying), should at least be able to handle a S-20.

My girl enjoys firing my S-12. I provide her targets, (thrown clays or "fun" targets like old printers), she destroys em, (while laughing), and asks for more!!

She claims to be able to handle a shotgun so with the recoil pad she can probably handle the s12...I just need to get her out during the week when the kid is gone to shoot it. Saying parts have been around since I have had the saiga wont work as my no parts ban has been in effect since I got the shotgun...I just need to keep her from seeing stuff when it arrives in the mail. But I like the idea of saying I traded for them. Now I just need to find someone local with an s12 both to shoot with and to "trade parts with"...or to accept my parts in the mail.

I don't like the whole lying to the wife thing. I also wouldn't like a wife who thought she could tell me what to do. If you're not being irresponsible (like spending your grocery money or not paying past due bills) when you are buying parts, then tell the wife to pack sand. She'll get over it. Women like to see how much control they can take/get in a relationship. When they get complete control (have you pussy wipped), they do one of two things. They get board and dump your ass or revel in the fact that they can tell you what to do any time they wish. So put your foot down and explain how your purchase isn't going to hurt her or your family's well being. Then go buy whatever you want, within reason of course.

But if you must maintain this feminine role in your relationship, have your purchases shipped to your business/friend's address.

Oh I'm so fucked...she is a control freak. We are laying floor in the kitchen yesterday and while I'm asleep last night she paints the fireplace mantle black. oh I'm so fucked...But I have several strategies to deal with her: 1. Yes dear 2. I didn't hear that 3. I forgot and 4. what?? (playing dumb)....yeah I'm fucked.

edit: Oh I forgot number 5. I'm sorry (after the fact)

Painting the mantle black is worth at least some more gun accessories, if not an entire new gun!

Reminds me of the old joke -

The wife told me if I bought any more guns we were through. The dog and I are going to miss her.

this thread is too funny :lolol:

this thread is too funny

I feel bad for "To the Floor", I really do. My experience with this subject is limited to hiding shit from various girlfriends and telling them "too fucking bad, it's my money" when necessary.. so it's a bit tough to relate to his exact situation.

I've been engaged, (or nearly), a few times, but always broken it off before I walked the proverbial plank. Perhaps I'll have to learn to "compromise" with a silly, emotional, irrational woman eventually in order to not grow old alone, but I'm not there yet :killer:
