I would love to give that gun a try.

I would love to give that gun a try.

You'll have to join me at the club someday. I just need some advance notice to make more brass and ammo. It eats an embarrassing amount for it's size and age.

Picked up some subsonic .22LR and .380 ACP ammo at the hardware store. While checking out, I reflected on how for a while being able to find any .22 ammo and certain kinds of centerfire ammo there was impossible. Let the good times roll.

Oh, heck yeah!

 

[Pandaz3]

What length barrel? Mine's a 4" and I think that it is mighty comfortable to shoot.

Mine is a 6" blued, nose heavy but that really helps my accuracy it seems, would like to get a 4" or even a 3".

Well I did get three Hawk 982's shotguns, yesterday, on backorder since December. All part of a Front Sight Member promotion last year, they say the FMK handgun will be another six months or so.

Got a package today from @IronMonster - heavy SOB (the box, not Ironmonster ). I'm guessing there's something fun inside Will check it when I get home.

It was actually a couple days ago, but i figured I would share. S&W 642.

 

[etrain16]

And here's what arrived from @IronMonster today:

A nice metal shipping box inside the cardboard box (no doubt I'll find another use for that)

A target stencil

(2) 11.5" x 11.5" x 1/2" AR500 gongs with backing plates for mounting. There is even a target already painted on one! (They are bolted together and I haven't had time to separate them yet, so not sure if it's the same on the 2nd one)

These things are heavy duty for sure - can't wait to get out and ring some steel!
Thanks IM!

Wow! That's really nice!

Midwayusa recently had a free shipping sale where basically everything got free shipping, even stuff that was already on sale.

I ordered 123lbs of stuff, ammo, bullets, etc. Everything that was already on sale and stacked the free shipping on top of it. Their profit margin was definitely smaller after that shipping bill lol...

 

[djharteloo]

ordered 4 Mec Gar 10mm 1911 mags, a galco holster, and 200 blemished nosler bullets. online shopping is great!

 

[djharteloo]

I ordered 500 rounds of 22 Magnum, Speer Gold Dot, Short Barrel, from LAX. $140 plus $17 shipping

That stuff also works pretty good for dispatching coyotes and other critters out of a rifle.

Bought a few last pieces and assembled my target stand for the new @IronMonster gongs. Did a simple stand with 1/2 2x4's, saw horse brackets, screw hooks, chain and some nuts, bolts and washers to create a simple, portable target stand.

As assembled, I spaced the chain just a bit off the top of plate so the bottoms are angled down and away (a requirement at the range). It all breaks down to fit in a duffle bag. Didn't take long to assemble. I do think the legs may be a bit close to the plates - if it's a problem, I'll cut a longer top board to move the legs out further.

Even got to try it in the front yard with one of my 1911's














And some shots with the 1911:

LOL!!!

 

[Mygrainman]

About 20lbs of .223/5.56 brass(now 300bo brass), a pacific super deluxe reloading press, a 20mm shell and projo for my collection, and a way cool Glock poster with Gunny on it. All super cheap from a local GS that's quitting business and selling everything at discount.
Notice missing pin... $2 at Wilco, a little dremel work, and some CLP, and now this "for parts" antique press that cost me $10 is way better than my newish "green" one. Solid and smooth!

Just a word of caution, make sure to be extremely careful or wear thick leather gloves when grabbing those leg boards holding up our targets. Over time the shrapnel from shooting your target will coat your leg boards and it will be like a bunch of knives sticking out of those things.

Good point and something I already plan for. The portable target stands at the range are wood and they get good and shredded over time. I learned awhile ago to keep gloves in the range bag.

Aero Precision has a 15 % discount on barrels today, so I got a 16" 5.56 Pencil barrel, .0625 gas block, and mid length Melonite tube.

 

[Pandaz3]

I ordered a Handall grip sleeve from Hogue for my LCP II, as you can see in the link it is FDE, which goes over the FDE Talon Grip tape already installed.
While at the Hogue site I came across yet another <broken link removed> for my Rock Island GI Officers Model.
