What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

+1 For this method^

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

Seriously awesome quality in his belts. Just ordered the Everyday Belt and can't wait to get it - up to 7 weeks production time

 

LMT 10.5" upper, LPK, grip, buffer assy, MOE CARB Stk. What else.....oh ya... AAC SDN-6.

Now I wait.... The Upper and Lower will be done by the end of next week probably.

Stamps on the lower, and the can, will be filed next week as well.

 

Ordered an Adams Arms Piston M4. I've always been an AK guy and like piston guns. Thought I'd give a piston M4 a try. Heard good things about Adams Arms. We'll see. I'll post pics when I pick it up.

 

I use the 5.11 Double Duty 1.75". I wear it everyday whether or not I am carrying. Cheap and solid. Easily adjusts, never wiggles loose.

I've found several ways to do this and there's usually some degree of drama with each. Practice will probably help, as this is my second build.

I can keep the spring and detent in the hole with a 1/4" rod through the pivot pin holes. Then when pushing the pivot pin into the pivot hole it gets caddywampus and escapes.
I wound up doing these inside a gallon-sized plastic storage bag...Baggies by Hefty, the non-zip version. At least I can usually recover the projectiles that way and start over.

I've since found that a couple beers seem to help.

;->

 

I have those for competitions & Tactical Terry days but for day to day use I use a 5.11 Leather Casual Holster belt and love them. Great value for the money.

 

I'm telling you, just try the method I posted and you'll be glad you did. I used to do it the same way before I discovered this and I will NEVER go back to that method.

 

Just got 500 230gr ball nose 45acp bullets in the mail. Time to reload some.

 

That's something I really need to/want to learn how to do. At the moment, I don't have the time but when things slow down I'm going to take that up.

 

I enjoy it. Helped dad when I was small and have learned how to do it. Its not bad or really hard just time consuming. Don't get in a rush.

 

Thanks for the info. guys

I pulled the trigger (pun intended) on a Jones Tactical EDB. Not much more than the other ones I was eye'ing, and the quality seems impeccable.

The ONLY downside is I will probably have to wait 7+ weeks to get it (some guys were waiting closer to 3 months for theirs)

 

Not really "last 48 hours" to be fair but still in the last week or so....

Rainier Arms Ultramatch billet upper
Rainier Arms Ultramatch 8.2" 300blk barrel
Syrac Adjustable gas block
Phase 5 pistol buffer (till sbr's become legal in WA)
Rainier Arms 300blk Ultramatch 16" barrel


Then some reloading stuff (upgrading some stuff)
RCBS Chargemaster
Dillon 550b

 

Gun.... related.

 

^ That's an expensive bunch of blades.

 

That it is. The two fixed blades (dagger & 375 Adamas after I wrap the handle w/paracord) will go on my battle belt and the Infidel will go in my pocket for EDC and the wife may get the Mini Infidel for her EDC.

 

Will do, next time. I did see a utube with a guy using a single-edge razor blade but I like your way best.

Thanks again.

 

That Adamas is damn sexy!

The guy that took the pic has good articles and a great 'How-To' guide to building an AR (I don't have an AR, but his guide is damn helpful for those that do)

Thanks man. Benchmade sent some regular coyote paracord with which to wrap the handle with but I've got some desert digi camo paracord I'm going to use instead. Should turn out pretty cool. I'll post pictures once I'm done.

I didn't give credit to the image because I had no idea who's it was since I didn't look at the URL. I just Google Image searched to try to find the best illustration of what I was trying to explain (poorly) and that was the first one that came up that made it easier to understand what I was saying. Now that I know he's got some good tips I'll check it out. You're never too old or experienced to learn a new trick that makes life easier/better.

 

Just ordered the rest of the stuff to finish the parts needed for my LR-308 build from midway, brownells, and Amazon (tools included). looking forward to my class on it. Also ordered a hornady auto charge scale to replace the cheap scale I have now. Will hopefully speed up my reloading rate now
