What firearm related stuff have you acquired lately?

[Rustybore]

Thanks again MisterEd. I just got shoulder surgery so am not able to rack the slide, or do much of anything for that matter. I'll order the parts and be ready when I can do something. I start physical therapy Monday.

Rim Fire Fanatic, from where did you order your ammo cans? Expensive?

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Well, the colored mini cans are the Best Buy. They come three to a pack, in red, white, and blue and fit inside a big ammo can, which I use for mags and parts storage. I have 24 of them stacked in the lower half of my ammo safe.

The MTM ammo cans I usually buy from Bass Pro and have them delivered. 10% off for veterans and military. Orders over 50 bucks ship to your door for free.

Sometimes BiMart has them for less, but never in quantity.

 

[Rustybore]

Thank you. I will check BiMart and the web.

I bought a couple of PSA uppers. Going to build a couple of carbines for me and one of my kids.

 

[Rustybore]

I received my trigger pin and recoil spring and a friend will install them on my CZ 75 BD. Still unable to rack a slide and move my arm yet.

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Well, I didn’t buy it per we, at least not yet….but I have placed a bid on a pre-Civil War Colt.

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Well, I lost the previously mentioned Colt, but I did order 10 boxes of 50 rounds of Winchester 9MM NATO from Bass Pro online. They were only able to fulfill 3 boxes of the 10.

I ordered some Steinel 45-70 Trapdoor ammo for my son.

I ordered 2 boxes of Winchester PDX 1 segmented 12 gauge slugs with three pellets of 00 buck in them.

I ordered a Safariland leather retention duty holster for my S&W SW40F.

I ordered 4 .30 cal GI ammo cans, 2 PSA lowers to complete a couple of carbines for my son and I, and I ordered 3 AR bolt repair kits with gas rings.

I also ordered an armorer’s wrench, a mag well vise holder for my AR, and another different armorer’s wrench and a few spare firing pins.

I am picking up 2 pistols tomorrow morning as well.

All the bills are paid for the month. All of the fun stuff I wanted or needed to get this month is on its way. Groceries are bought.

Now I can sit back and not spend any money for the rest of the month, other than getting a Mother’s Day gift, and maybe a gallon of milk or two.

You basically did a full inventory refresh now just enjoy the calm before the next “small order”

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

I acquired my two Ruger P95 DC pistols today. They are beautiful. One still hasn’t even been fired.it still has the factory machine oil in it and has not a scratch on the rails. The other was over oiled but still with no discernible wear. I am very happy.

I did order a couple of manuals and factory mag loaders for them as he lost the manuals and I had previously bought all of his mag loaders.

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Bought a charging handle. Just waiting for it to arrive.

 

[SuperTrooper]

Mantis X2, Armory Craft ported slide for P365xl with Tybee Defense barrel, and an Icarus ACE pro XXL grip

 

[SuperTrooper]

A new optic and magnafyer for my son's .223 Wylde, and a magazine housing grip/bow sprit for his .22 WMR. Plus I got junior a Frankford Arsenal hand deprimer that has him 550 rounds of .30 Super Carry brass deprimed in a little over an hour & a half.

You should have let me know, I have a new condition vortex magnifier that I would have given you for free,

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

I had 600 rounds of M855 delivered today and have a Nickel Boron BCG from Rise Armament at coming tomorrow.

3 out of the 6 30 cal ammo cans in my safe are full. Once the ammo safe is full, I will just replace the ammo little by little as I shoot.mmif I get that Air Force 604 replica, I will have to have a can or two of M193.

I'm working on #3 as we speak, not sure what optic it will have but it does have a Mimtac Drastic drop in trigger, and Daniel defense furniture.

AR’s are damn addictive. I still have one stripped lower that I am saving for any future bans occurring. But, In the last couple of months I built one of my sons and I matching Carbines. I have hot rodded my 11.5 shorty. I am going to buy a new EO Tech for it similar to what you had in your pic. My Carbine has a Carry Handle sight and my son’s has a flip up rear and is getting an AimPoint.

I also have a 22 LR AR. And, my Colt A4.

The neat thing about this funny looking model of Eotech is that it uses AA batteries!

 

[Rustybore]

I bought the Frankford deprimer last spring and did at least 3 thousand primers. If a 5.56 was too difficult I just removed the case and put it in the sale pile. I have broke too many pins in resizing die with military brass, especially those marked "IMI", Israel I think.

 

[Jcloer]

I bought a Glock Performance trigger that I haven't installed yet, and I recently picked up my CVA Cascade 22LR!! I'm really excited to get a scope mounted on the CVA and see how it does!

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Well, in the last two weeks, I have picked up two Ruger P90’s and a P94. I also ordered a Smith and Wesson Sigma SW9F. I paid a little more than I should have, but it had the harder to find 17 round Pre Ban Mags. I also ordered 5 of the 16 round mags with the Ice Scraper bottoms.

 

[SuperTrooper]

4 Magpul G3 AR mags, 2 Magpul P365 mags, 4 Amend 2 P320 mags, 1000 frangible 9mm projectiles, 500 polymer coated lead 9mm projectiles, 500 frangible 5.56 projectiles, 9mm & 32 caliber (for the 30 Super Carry) bullet molds, Lee 4 pot lead furnace, CFE223 powder, Accurate #7 powder, Winchester Automag powder, Icarus Air Xmacro polymer P365 grip, P365 slide completion kit.

Sounds like you’re going to be busy. What .556 did you get?

So you are loading them yourself? Hornaday 75gr black tips?

50gr Frangible - brown tips

 

[SuperTrooper]

50gr Frangible - brown tips

I managed to push my range to 76 yards, but even still my 55gr soft point are giving the AR500 targets a run for their money, and are taking a hell of a beating - hence the switch to frangible.

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

Well I picked up my Sigma today. It’s awesome. Now I’m just looking for a box and a manual.

 

[Rimfire Fanatic]

I picked up a Sig P320 full size with Wilson Combat and factory grips with 6 x 17 round mags (4 OEM Checkmate and 2 Amag) and a paddle/belt Safariland holster.
