The MPSA match was cancelled (I had withdrawn anyway), so I spend Saturday morning cleaning off my workbench and replacing my 2011 magazine springs. I went with Grams springs and followers this time, instead of MBX because I had occasional issues with the MBX springs and followers getting stuck or allowing rounds to get underneath them. I had good luck with Grams in one of my 170's, so I put them in the rest of my mags. The followers required a little bit of filing to keep them from engaging the slide stop, but that only took a few minutes each. I tested them at the range yesterday and they worked flawlessly. I need to go ahead and order several more springs just to have on hand.
I hung up 60 soft gun cases and gun rugs on my twisted steel galvanized clothes line wire, hung below the ceiling using 1/4 inch eye lag bolts. I bought all the shower curtain hooks they had at the Dollar General here in Destin and then I ran out of hooks, rats. Now I need to go get some more curtain hooks. That curtain hook suggestion works good by the way, thanks.

I installed quick flap magnetic doors on my harley bike hard lowers. The bike is getting a little more attention this year then the guns..
This is the jersey I'll be wearing this year:

Finished loading 480 .38 special 110gr Frangible bullet loads for my brother so he and his wife can shoot steel at a bit closer range. Testing them on a steel plate with cardboard 4" in front of the steel showed NO fragments bouncing towards the cardboard.
You picking up some sponsors there, Big Time?
I was picked by Zero Mikes to represent them this year. The other logos are from folks who have been good to me or donated toward the GCGF jersey group buy last spring.

I have not done anything gun related in quite some time. Today, I received five original M16 safety selectors (no-tick) for some of my retro builds I have done. I overlooked these safeties when I built about four of my retros and accidentally installed later M16A2 safety selectors (of which I modified). I spent about five or six minutes changing out these safety selectors. Now, I have three modified M16A2 safety selectors to use on something else. Anyhow, I just thought I would share.
Excellent stuff Tackleberry, you have some cool retro gear.

not "today" but recent I started the 10.5" 300blk upper build. Got the barrel temporarily installed in the upper and have ordered a Strike Ind. dust cover door, charging handle, and forward assist to complete the upper. Will still need a BCG, hanguard assembly, and 51t muzzle device to complete. Follow-up will be a lower and a form 4 (form 4 right?) to SBR.
Form 1 to make a SBR yourself.

I disassembled my Dillon progressive reloading press last night for a good cleaning and bearing upgrade. It was very dirty. I picked up two Herters' presses over the past year and thinking about setting one up to de-cap and one to size cast bullets. Decisions- Decisions.
I need to clean and lube my 1050 before I load anymore on it. It's got over 10K rounds on it since I got it last March (?) and hasn't been properly lubed in that time. That may be a project for this coming Sunday or Saturday after the MPSA match.
I booked my hotel room this morning for the AL Sectional in Dothan in March.

After swapping out safety selectors yesterday and having three M16A2 safety selectors with no homes and since I was slightly bored this morning, I decided to swap out some safeties with those. I swapped those safeties into my basic M4 clone, my M16A2 clone, and a basic M16A4 clone. Now, these are one notch closer towards being more correct.
A friend let me use his nearby private range. Tested a few loads I had on hand. 3 out of the 5 loads tried shot nice, so I swapped out my current "ammo test scope" with the less magnification shorter scope I planned on for this SBR upper and got it sighted in. This was one of the easiest testing and sighting in's I've ever done. It's now sighted in with my 50gr frangible load so I can shoot both close range steel and whatever plinking targets are on hand.
Forgot the battery for my portable fan I use for bbl cooling between groups, so I drove the car beside the shooting bench, attached jumper cables to the car battery, and attached the 12 volt fan cord to the jumper cables.
Also took a baseline throat measurement so I can keep track of throat wear. Life is great!
