What gun stuff did you do today?

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Pew, Pew. Really enjoying the advantage arms .22 conversion for the glock 19. Tried it on the P80 g26 size frame, works great. I like the flat trigger and grip angle. Runs like a champ on federal cphp 36gr bulk.

Old school crow hunting - 1936 style Winchester mdl 61. Banged up old barn gun. Still going pew! Blew some dirt on em at least!

Took my .22 conversation with me to go with my bride to her part time job working for a land management company. Figured i may get to pew a snake or 2. May need to bring the G40 next time, yikes. ( big gator tracks)

Went through Pensacola earlier… got behind a truck with an Al tag… said,”PRAY247.. I prayed with him for a minute…” Lord, please help this man find the right lane”….Shot through the tunnel in Mobile shortly after

Poking around Sniper's Hide, I found another Surefire Warcomp for $70 shipped, it arrived yesterday evening. Got back on to leave feedback, and bought three new 308 mags; 5 & 10 round A.I. and another 5 round P-mag in AICS pattern for $130 shipped! And the holster for my grandsons pistol came in the mail as well!

Looks like a line to some groceries to me; That's money dude!

Some fine work on that.
Look at the P80 frames. I think they did a good job on the design of em. Also like the grip angle.

I would think maybe only a 5-footer. There's only maybe six inches between those tracks. Hey at least in Alabama the gators are free game and not endangered, right?

Yep, only during season and permit though.

Started carrying my Beretta bobcat with shot shells. It's nope rope time again.

 

[Jester896]

Made a pass through High Caliber… pulled the trigger on Ben’s Deli… now my ask is shot out!

 

[Ugafan84]

I swapped out my JP silent capture buffer spring that I had on my built ar-10 and put it on my CMMG Banshee 300 blackout pistol. It sounded so much better running it suppressed now. I feel like that was the loudest thing was hearing the spring in the buffer tube shooting suppressed.

Reloading 45 Colt today using 6.5x55 Swedish wooden bullet blank powder. Physically it’s fluffy flat squares. It does not play well with powder measures, often clogging up and throwing widely varying charge weights. Even the Swedes had that problem with charges varying from the low 20’s to low 30 grains in charge weights in their blank ammo within the same lot number. Fortunately the wood bullet (for loading functioning profile) only weighs a few grains, they wanted it to make noise, and only needed enough gas to function auto and semi auto firearms with a blank restriction, so an exact charge weight was not a requirement. Other than labor pulling the wood bullet with pliers, the powder was free. 4800 blanks gave me 18 pounds of powder. A friend gave me a few more pounds for some labor I provided. We all used the resulting non corrosive berdan primed brass for reloading.

My solution was an electronic powder dispenser. By weighing exact charges, it’s given fine performance in every cartridge tried. The burn rate seems to vary by cartridge from like Unique to Alliant 2400. In 6.5x55 with cast bullets it seemed like Unique. In 45 Colt it acted like 2400. In 45/70 it seemed between those extremes. In 7.5 Swiss it was like Unique. 250 gr bullet in 45 Colt gives 852 fps with 15.5 gr, like 2400 would give. Start low and work up.

After shoulder surgery recovery got back to a project I did not want to do due to the manual filing I prefer to do to protect the rifle.

I modified the standard Ruger 10-11 TD Weaver Rail to Picatinny rail width so I could mount a See-All Tritium sight on a QD mount to give a NV compatible optic to the rifle, with the Tech Sights as back up. This is the final mod I had in mind for the rifle. I like it!

picked up a set of Low NighForce 6 screw rings for a good price

Will you use the same powder load for 45ACP?

Will you use the same powder load for 45ACP?

I suspect since it appears to burn slower in straight wall cartridges that it would be too slow in 45acp, giving low velocity and lots of unburnt powder. Maybe not enough oomph to function a pistol. Don’t think I’d want to risk a bore stuck bullet. Same load would be too bulky for 45acp.

Took the KelTec P-33 and P-17 back to the range.

Will do an in depth report on pistol thread but bottom line: P-17 ran without flaw. Decent trigger and shot well too. P-33 loaded with mag loader ran flawless after the first round was hand fed into chamber. After the first 33 rounds, it did it again and I hand fed first round two more times. After that, as reported by others, it chambered naturally and ran well. Really good trigger, decent sights, and shoots nice!
