What gun stuff did you do today?

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Cruised pawnshops today digging thru the junk boxes. Scored a Blackhawk CQC holster for $5 colt 1911. Appears unused. Should work on a thigh rig I picked up cheap. Hopefully my RIA .45 fits it.

I can’t see a Serpa without thinking of the legend of Tex Grebner!

Don't forget this GEM
"HE" is the only one in the room QUALIFIED to handle that weapon.
He was desk popping wayyyyy before "The Other Guys" lol

Finally got the .458 SOCOM to the range, the rifle loves the Hornady 325gr FTX... of course this is just 50 yards, but still quite good IMO for 5-shot groups...

 

[Jester896]

Checked primers and bullet direction in about 2K .223 rounds. Broke the 100 or so bad ones down to recover bullets.
In case anyone needs to know...the Frankford Arsenal Pile Driver will set of jacked up primers when breaking them down.

Inlet some CDI bottom metal in a new HS Precision stock

sent about a dozen .308s in my new little project when zeroing the scope. The loads for my 26" gun are about 100 fps slower in the 20". I might need to adjust that load a little

Went to the gun shop to “browse around” couldn’t leave empty handed so stocked up on some 45auto ammo

Wished I had the time/money to dedicate to guns that you guys do

I looked at my guns today. I even pointed one of them at my dry-fire range I have in my utility room for about 30 seconds. It was almost practice!

 

[G-rat]

Got my limited production run from Raven Concealment for my G48! 6 weeks wait for good old school Boltaron goodness!

Ended up with this on a trade, pretty much nothing in it. Shot a nice little group at 50 with irons. That's a keeper.

Free guns shoot the best IMHO

Indeed, funny how that works. The 10/22 I paid for took some feeling out, this one shot accurately pretty much instantly.

 

[TGuns1451]

Had a friend with one that the iron sights had broken off.....it was I
Hit truck bed gun not truck gun lol I'm sure he didn't pay for it. Any way he could hit squirrels or cans with it far as he could see just shotgun style I guess blew my mind. I could be looking through $$$ glass pulling shots and ole no sights limits out lol.

 

[OperationalPinecone]

Interesting you say that the front site on this was completely loose in the dovetail. I had to stake it and put loctite in there, put it in center and it shot in quite well.

 

[ABlaster]

I finally gave up on trying to fix my STI/Staccato and I'm sending it off to be looked at. The hammer is following and I can't figure out why. Also, I have a buddy that came across some guns in his late mother's house and I'm currently knocking the rust off of them and at least bringing them back to functioning form. I don't have the tools nor the know-how to reblue something and I know my limits.

It's too bad they were so neglected. One is a 1939 Winchester Model 12 and another is a 1952 Colt Cobra with an aluminum frame.

 

[J pace]

Tell me about the model 12 possibly a picture . Something they are going to get rid of?

 

[ABlaster]

I PM'ed you the photos. As for if he wants to get rid of it, I'm betting he would rather keep it than take the small amount it's worth in the shape it's in. I may have posted about it before, but it was stored for years in a leaky house with no power for years and years.

I will ask him about it, but just after passing the guns off to me to be looked at he had a stroke and he's in kind of bad shape right now.

 

[tros6t]

I looked. Saw a Sig M18 for $1500 on here! What with the TC serial number?

Everybody knows that the TAN CONTROLS cost like $750 to cerakote and the cardboard box instead of the nice plastic case normally from SiG is worth $200! Lol

My 20 year old Lyman digital scale went stupid a week ago and my new RCBS chargemaster came in Monday. Just loaded 20 rounds of .308 with it and am ok with it so far.
