Picked this South Carolina made PTR 91SC up from @GeorgeBush a while back...have been adding to it...this has become my all purpose Pigdeeryote shooter for the season. This Squad Carbine model had been discontinued by PTR...not a long range shooter, this is a battle rifle configuration...also picked up a Wraith night vision scope to try on it

Could not have gone to a better home! Night vision even!
 
Overwatch Poly Dat trigger for my G19. This is the trigger Glocks should come from the factory with. It doesn’t change the pull weight at all. Also got a set of Ameriglo Agent sights. The yellow front sight really sticks out.

Yeah the wife in reality is totally cool with it all just sometimes she says I have to slow the roll a little bit. LOL I am truly a lucky man in that respect.

Talk about a jinx! I've been out of work since Wednesday.

I've been using the ice trays as a dragstrip and seeing which "lane" fills up with water first.

Let me know if you don't know what an ice tray is and I'll PM a pic.
 
3 reactive targets at Walmart on clearance for $4 (Someone put the wrong target in the box. Regularly $16.xx. They sold me all 3 for $4 each). Pack of 50 orange ear plugs on clearance for $2. 1,000 count M-22 22LR. Just got back from Academy in Greenville. Picked up a gray Sig P365.

I bought the standard ball end pins and the hardened pins. They are deffenetly a upgrade over the Lee pins. I busted one of the Lee pins with very little force.

I like to decap before cleaning with wet pin tumbling. I once soaked some brass in Lemishine and the rinsed and dried without depriving and it stained the brass bad. Now we deprime before starting to tumble.

AR pistol lower parts. SBA3, Palmetto drop in trigger, Anderson lower. Starting to research uppers.
 
my 03a3 from CMP showed up today
I wisely told my wife it was coming 2 days ago so she wouldn't be surprised and angry
 
I found not holy crap priced primers!

Got enough SPP (just 1k) to get going finally on .357 and added 1k to my srp stock. Didn't want to take all the srp as I'm not greedy and have plenty on hand.

Wish they had more SPP. Figures that I add a few new calibers to load finally and they all take the one kind of primer I don't keep stocked:rolleyes:
 
Got this cool grip for my 10/22 PMACA chassis. It eliminates the gap. Here are the before and after pics.

Also grabbed a full set of steel challenge dry fire targets from "go fast don't suck". They are pretty cool - set up any stage at a distance of 8' to simulate the actual layout.

So here's the story. A week ago I was in Anniston Alabama for the CMP garand builder class. On the 3rd day, we met up at the great big range in talladega. We got to go into the store before the range opened, buy ammo (or more guns) and head out to the range before they let the public in. This would prove to be my downfall.

While i was there I happened to let my eye fall on this little lady. throat and muzzle were both marked 1+ with "bright bore" written on the tag. It was only a couple dollars more than the 3+ rifles with "dark bore" written... so... I said to put on my ammo tab. They were awesome enough to let me take it to the range, play with it, then bring it back to the clubhouse. Normally I'd have to take it home with me, but I didn't have room in the car for two rifle cases. Since they were going to ship the Garand I had just built home for free if I needed it, they transferred the offer. That's good service.
Still, I didn't do as badly as some of the people who drove ~15 hours, bought one of each allowed type of rifle (1 per year, you know...), a couple cases of ammo, and then had to start driving back the same day...

barrel is stamped july 1943, receiver is from august 1943.
Also included in the case was my CMP certificate of authenticity for the garand I built.

Speaking of the garand, I guess I should show it too. Also a 1943, but a total rebuild with a new Criterion barrel, boyd stock, reparkerized, etc.

Bayonet was not included with the class. I bought the sticker blind and expected it to go on my 1942 garand, but it's not correct for the period and has been sitting in a box of parts for a decade - and, honestly, is part of the reason I had to go build a garand - we all know what happens when you have parts but nowhere to put them.

My gun budget is very much in the red for a while... unfortunately I have also made an offer or two that I need to make good on, identified some sales on parts i really have been trying to find for a while, ... you know, all the normal 1st world gun guy problems.
