Firearm BS thread

Congrats woodchuck!
I have a 1991 A1 that I really like. Bought it back when they first came out.
I got an after market trigger for it and worked it up for zero slop and no takeup. Also put some Hogue finger groove grips on it and ditched the series 80 stuff. It was pretty easy to do and I like it even more than the satin nickel govt. Model 70 I got from my dad.

 

Not a bad idea but he will have a 10/22 and a 22/45 to shoot. I am now thinking more along the lines of a collectors set that we will shoot together and when I pass away a long long time from now he would inherit mine to complete the set.

This set is only $25k

Thanks, he is supposed to be born in December. This wouldn’t be a bad set. Then my gun would be bigger than his.

Not that one exactly because I am not a NRA member

 

That’s a good idea. get something you still would shoot and not just safe queens. Good luck.
Consider engraving his name or a special saying or something.

 

If he buys a Colt his sons name will already be on the side....

I agree though, get something (doesn’t really matter as long as it’s something you would want to shoot) that you both can shoot but would be an heirloom type firearm.

 

Good point! Birthdate maybe?

 

They will definitely be something we will be shooting together. Never saw the point of owning a gun you aren’t willing to shoot.

 

Tell him he can only have them if he can properly take them down, clean and put back together in working order without any help from instructional videos/pamphlets...etc

 

Can anybody recommend a sight pusher?
I'm changing the sights on both my Xd40 & Xd9.

This is a good one if your willing to pay. You can probably find it cheaper too

 

Uffffffffffffff a bit pricey. I guess you get what you pay for.

 

You can always use a hammer and brass punch

 

I'm considering this

Or this one

Try and give feedback for others. Maybe the cheaper ones are just as good

 

Looks like it has good reviews in some gun forums. I'm leaning towards the Ebay one.

 

@w.adventures just get a custom AR lower with his birthday as the serial number

 

Sure. If you don't mind an Fd up sight and broken tritium tubes.....

I've had the MGW tool for a long time. Works great.

Some of the Ebay versions look like they are just some nuts and bolts from Ace Hardware.

 

That’s a pretty good idea.

 

Changed the sights on my XD 45 with a cheap sight pusher......

Fought it for an hour
Call buddy who walks down with his pusher


2 hrs later
Sights changed in XD 45, XD 9 AND Genn 3, Glock 19
And sighted in with a laser


Buy once, cry once.

 

I have the first one. I put that in a bench vice and haven't had a problem changing out or adjusting sights.
