Guns, Gear, Accessories, Etc: What did you buy today?

I thought just reloading was addictive...wait until you send your first homemade projectiles downrange. Very gratifying.

I'm definitely looking forward to it - that, and powder coating the pistol rounds.

I'll prepare for late night pm's. @Certaindeaf certainly got a few from me. And the powder coating works pretty slick.

I ordered some odds and ends AR parts from 'Forward Controls Design' for both upper and lower. Pricey birdcage, forward assist, some precision washers, pricey Mag release, end plate, and two other things that I can't remember, and a Vickers extended mag release for the wife's G-17.

Powder coating? Are you going to make them red, white, and blue? Just kidding! But what is powder coating cast bullets?

It's an alternative to lubing the bullets, and helps to prevent leading in the barrel. I've done some reading on it and watched a number of YT videos on it - sounds like a lot of folks are moving away from traditional lube to powder coating cast bullets.

Man, I should start saving money. I feel like I can postin this section all day. My one piece 0 MOA EGW rail for my Tikka m695 came in the mail today. So did a Psa 9mm upper. And then seeing the new rail, I ordered a Boyds stock for the Tikka. Too many projects, so little funding!

Well I got them awhile ago but went range yesterday and guess what for some reason these Mag's won't stay in my guns that have AMBI MAG RELEASE BUTTON I even tried cutting out a hole where the catch is they work in my gun that has MIL spec Mag release

What kinda gun?

Tried them in my 300 blk out they fall out after two or three shots and I can just pull and wiggle them out I think it is the ambi Mag release because I put them in my sisters AR and she has regular Mag release and they work they are more flexible than a standard P MAG I'll have to try something else but I'm at work so have to wait till next week

...my sisters AR...

Coolest sister ever. Now she has extra mags right?

Looks that way I have to paint them with dura coat to match the gun and her chair and her ear muffs lol

I guess it's her lucky day I have six of those mags I shoot Lefty so all my AR 's have Ambi Mag release on them

Mrs. Student approves of your sister's color scheme. I suppose I'll have to customize one of her Walthers now.

I finally collect my Ruger Alaskan today but because I am not quite set up to reload for it I placed a few boxes of these on order:

The Warden says stop supporting this thread... So I gave Son Unit #2 a Ruger LCR in 38, and my Para Black Ops Recon, a commander sized 1911 14-45. Fixed her Wagon!
