What's your latest "impulse buy" . . . . . ?

[GWS]

This reminds me to pick one up while I'm still here in va. Though that 16" is an atrocity.

Get it SBR'ed and suppressed most rikki tick.

Been waiting 7 months now on a tax stamp for one of my PS90s

Reports vary, but although I have plenty of once fired brass (which I am trying to sell) and the dies, I am not reloading as I have about 11K rounds (the PS90 & Five Seven are the "get home guns" for me and my kids if SHTF).

I have read it is not easy - some say they have had no trouble. However, I have read that one problem is common; short brass life - I think most reloaders are only getting one or two reloads out of the brass.

YMMV - but I recommend digging into it before you buy/try.

My attemps cycled but accuracy was nonexistent.

Decided while perusing the Internet that I needed an M1A. I got my happy butt off the couch and went to my LGS who happened to have one on the shelf. So I bought an M1A.

IIRC, Buffman (YT & FNForum contributor who does a LOT of 5.7 testing), mentioned that the PSA ammo cycles well, but their coating is "greasy", and I think he said the necks of ammo run thru the S&W pistol (gas op) stretch.

Double post, this forum has a hair trigger when reading on a phone.

What type of headgear did you get? I've looked and looked at those and cannot decide to pull the trigger on a set. Let us know what you think after using them a few times please.

A rug for the living room. 9x15 Persian Sarouk. Looking at the colors and style, I'd wager 60's vintage.
Still a very thick pile throughout, but the greatest wear is on the right side on the fringe.

I want to do testing on my encore barrel to see if those stabilize.

PTR 32. I have been wanting a PTR 91, but with the price of .308 I have held off. I saw this and had to have it. PTR 91 form factor and size (many interchangable parts), but shoots 7.62x39.

I just needed this one last hit before the 114 crud starts up again, It's my last one I promise.........

Sure it is, ya junkie

Just like the 3 guns I bought over labor day were my last

Well, today (9-9-23) I was at the gun show in Battle Ground WA and I wasn't planning on buying anything big/expensive (like a firearm).

BUT, But, but......
I saw it and I had to.

It was a Springfield 1903 rifle w/bbl marked SA 11- 31 (receiver ser # = 1931). Yup....high number receiver, n.s. swept bolt, beautiful wood, scant stock (no cartouche), good 4 groove bore. The only problem was, the stacking swivel was broken off.

But, they are findable, with a little bit of effort.

I've been looking, off and on, for a replacement 1903 ever since I sold my 1903 A3 back when I lived in Hawaii. Truthfully, not that hard to find one. But, I'm picky and don't have much money (to spend on MORE guns). YES, call it my "Grail Gun". Anyway, the deal was struck at $900.

I didn't have the money on me, though the BoA is just down the street. I had to have it.

BTW.....with the entry fee at the show.....the transfer was FREE.

Aloha, Mark

PS.......so last night (09-13-23) I was trying to "function test" the rifle (feeding from the magazine). Darn thing would NOT feed the last round from the magazine. The geometry angle of the feeding, was WRONG.

Reading the various old posts (from many forums) had me thinking, that I should maybe/perhaps, change out the magazine spring and follower.

Nah.......looking through the magazine well (with the floor plate, magazine spring and follower removed) I noticed a large (uneven gap) between the receiver and the trigger guard.
OK, Ok, Ok.....it's a darn "stock fitting" problem. I think, that I'll need to get them to touch (or at least get that gap closer and/or more even).

NOT TO FEAR.....
Dremel to the rescue! Cough, cough......

Wish me luck. LOL.

 

[ma96782]

Yup.....fixed it.

Aloha, Mark

Just picked up a Ruger PC Carbine 9mm from the classifieds today - super fun gun though. Definitely not disappointed with the impulse buy.

Roundabout the LEAST concerning region I've ever traveled. Suppose metro areas anywhere nowadays can be problematic, so there's that.

Left a beerhause in about middle of nowhere Czech Republic, a few miles down the road there version of tactical state police was in the midst of a full on something or other (armored vehicles and such). So ya never know.
