What gun stuff did you do today?

[Bullet Splatter]

Thanks to Ecco machine I finally did something I thought I’d never be able to do. Added a tri lug adapter to my 9mm can.

I was back at the range today with the Mk18. Another couple hundred rounds, which pretty much depleted my stash of random 5.56 ammo that just kind of collects around the bench. If I am going to go back out I will actually have to open a new box of something.

On the less business-y side of things, today would have been my dad’s 90th birthday, but he passed away in 2022. I took his two favorite guns out today (Colt Detective Special and a 4” Smith 58) and shot them a bit so they don’t just collect dust at the back of the safe.

Deer hunted, saw two nice does. Had our cooler been empty would have blasted one.

Got my thermal lighter weight Frankenstein AR built. 4.6 lbs before optic. 1:8T. No where as light as the 22 mag but Not too bad. Figured the trade off for flatter shooting and more punch was worth it. Been playing around the yard. Testing after deer season.

Added a TLR VIR II and a Leupold Delta Point Pro to the G20, hit the range this am to sight it in.

Sweet shooting pistol.

Busy day so far
Cleaned off the reloading bench and moved presses around
sorted various boxes/bags of brass that were on top to condense stuff...
I found:
300PRC
224 Valkrie
.300 Hammer
6mm Remington
8mm Mauser
7.62x54R
6.5 Grendel
.308 Arrow
6.5x55SE
7.5x55
7.62x39
.450 Bushmaster
.350 Legend
about 2/3 of a cat litter bucket full. some are just a few some are 1/2 gal zips with a good amount. Not sure what I will do with that stuff.


Started sizing 300WSM nickle. Those dies are set up for the Co-Ax...I might have to put the long handle back in. I'm glad whatever fired these isn't my rifle. One neck was even cracked on the first firing. It looks like the shoulders are
+.004 - .006 and the base is so blown out it won't go in my Mo's case gauge but will go in the RCBS, so I can figure out the shoulder bump setting. I waxed the first case and thought that I had gotten it stuck. Once I got it off the case I put more wax and went slow up and down about 6 times. Shoulders need to come back about .002 more to be -.001 and reset the die. Got the first one done an started the the second one...same thing. Shoulder set back is on the money now. Put the lid back on the wax and got the spray bottle out and hit them good. Maybe the alcohol has evaporated by now and I can get back after it.

At camp hoping to get one with the G40.

Test fired an old Marlin in the woods. Man, a lever action is fun. An inch or so high at 15 steps. That should work.

 

[Jester896]

cut a piece of RR steel I had in half to make 2 anvils
dug up some more 300WSM brass and ran it through the tumbler so I can size that with what I already have.

 

[ABlaster]

Printed out holdover targets and reviewed the 31 page lesson plan I’m co-teaching on Mon and Tues. I also bought stuff to bring for lunch so I don’t have to spend the cash in the chow hall.

If I’m feeling up to it I may post an AAR after the class, but it seems a bit disingenuous because what am I going to say?

“The class was life changing. I will never look at firearms the same way again and the instructors were gods among men.”

Not a shameless plug, but I put a bunch of stuff up for sale to chase a bucket list build. Sellers remorse won’t even be a thing. Go buy my stuff lol.

Wish mine was as easy to quench! I’ve got a nasty itch for a 16” Noveske9 with a Troy alpha rail.

I built/assembled a 14.5 m4a1 upper. Lower will be done soon.

Deer hunting. Rotated my stand more to the right to see wooded area better. Seems like more activity in the cover

Are they synchronized on motors, like the spy satellites in the movies? That would be cool!

The picture reminds me of the guy that setup a rifle so people could hunt on the internet. A web cam was bore sited to the gun. You could aim the rifle to position the crosshairs and use CTL"S" to shoot the gun. After a few months it was closed down.

Finished up the last day of class yesterday, and today will be gear rehab, gun cleaning from shooting I did last week, and waiting for my new elliptical machine to be delivered. Doc says I‘m not a spring chicken anymore and I have to quit running so much on the road.

I will probably work in some dry fire today. One of the students edged me out on a drill and that showed me I was getting rusty.

Busy day of trading.
