    Cleaned some spare parts I found, I'm afraid they'll copulate a new rifle though...

    Or, are you trying to LUBRICATE the conception? LOL
    To stay on topic, I received my Sten mag springs today. Installing tomorrow.

    I have been going to a couple of estate sales lately and have bought a couple guns and found this today for $350. A Glock 48 with Ameriglo night sights for $350 cash.

    I got it home and field stripped it and it still had the factory lube and had never been used by the previous owner. Can’t wait to try it out at the range.

    I broke down and painted one rifle last night and liked it so I'm doing another today.

    I went to Talon yesterday for a 300 round session, reloaded a few hundred today, dry fire today as well, and will go shoot tomorrow.

    Did some tweaks on a couple of dillon loaders I am selling, cleaned up a few things in the loading room. Spent 45 minutes loading 500 rounds of 38 special on my Dillon 650. Gauged it all and put it in ammo boxes so it is ready to put in loading strips for the next cowboy match.

    Sold my AR and everything with it for a drastically low cost to pay medical bill's which we found out were not covered. -- Family before fun. --
    Damn I hope everything works out. I had to sell all my guns in 2014 and again in 2018 for medical reasons. It sucks but what must be done must be done. Again I hope things work out.

    I hope you were able to sell to a friend who will keep it up and sell it back to you for what you paid for it at some point. I’ve done that for several friends.

    Some were but not all and I ask for nothing back. They all paid more than what I was asking which helped me tremendously. Even if they offered to sell them back now I'd pass. I have basically everything I want and based on my needs at the moment. However if I win the lottery I'm buying EVERYTHING! Within reason that is.

    633 more 303 British bullets cast today. 18 pounds of alloy used. Total 303 cast for the season: 2,504. Wife passing by asked when will you be done casting for the year?...well, I shoot about 5,000 cast bullets of all calibers a year, so I'm half way done, then comes fitting gas checks and lube/sizing...it never ends and is a labor of love anyway, and I try to cast more than 5,000 each year to build up a supply.

    Agreed. I gave up on OpticsPlanet awhile back, no comms and vague emails.
    Also, Vortex seems pretty easy to work with. I'm sending my Viper PST back today for some warranty work.
    Will start a new thread but had just ordered an item from OP when I saw this. Checked status today and found the order had been cancelled. Called and CS Rep wanted to check into it and let me know, as she saw the item in stock still.

    She did call back, and it was cancelled because she was told I would have to order again, and pay with PayPal. I told her no way, and have reported the issue to the maker of the part so they will know of this foolishness. Done with them, forever.

    They did the exact same thing to me. I told them to cancel it completely and I went through EuroOptic. I'll never do business with them again.

    Wednesdays are shooting days so not as much bullet casting time. Cast 133 303 British and 212 210gr 311284 30 caliber bullets as I transition from 303 bullets into casting other calibers during casting season.

    311284 was designed over a hundred years ago for use in 30/40 Krag and 30/06. It works. It has been hard to find the mould these last few years. Shootnstarz loaned me his mould.

    I painted and mounted a scope on my 14.5. Now I have to get it zeroed hopefully this weekend.
