What have you recently purchased that is firearms related?

Years ago I assembled a direct impingement AR in 45acp from RMW. I used a stripped lower I had and one modified grease gun (GG) mag (its squeezed narrower). It has a 8" barrel and my Obsidian 45 can on it. It was somewhat reliable but mainly a range toy. The crux was the mod'd mag causing missfeeds. I finally decided to step up to a dedicated GG mag lower and some GG mags. I found a guy selling GG mags, 4 were blued and 2 parkd' of the 4 blued, 3 were new, and 1 still in cosmoline. Other parts of the lower were picked up during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. Not sure if I can use the weighted buffer in the short buffer tube. I'm really liking the Strike Industries parts. I've used them on several builds now. Trigger was an ALG ACT.

Gun minus the can which recesses into the guard. Old mod'd mag on the left and new mag on the right (I still need to cut the mag catch).

Picked up an LEO Trade-in G22 Gen 4 for just over 300. Gon looks like it wasn't even broken in. The mag floorplates show more wear than the gun itself.

Been thinking about getting in to reloading for awhile and this morning took the plunge and bout a Lee Classic Turret press kit, 9mm and .223 dies and an extra turret. Will be buying a couple of manuals to start reading up on it. Any advice or tips would be appreciated...lol. Feel free to pm me.
 
Bought some freedom seeds in 9mm and 5.56 at reasonable prices, shipped 'free' but still paid that sweet NC sales tax that provides essential government services when we're not under a viruscaretacticstayathomeorelse order

go ahead and order the short and long rifle powder dies if you want to run in indexing mode.

A few more Arfcom deals:
Faxon 9” Mlok handguard
Aero M4E1 upper
3 PSA EPT triggers
Grey Ghost Gear Minimalist PC, probably gonna get a set of those Midwest STX plates to go inside.
 
the trade-in gen4 glock 22 i ordered for $290 was supposed to have worn out night sights... i'm disappointed to learn that they glow just fine and brightly
still waiting on my extra/extended magazines.
9mm conversion barrel fits fine, but i'm waiting on 9mm magazines too

not sure why i decided to try a glock for the 3rd time.. but here we are. never liked them before, but 3rd time's the charm.
 
All my firearms related purchases have been reloading supples. I picked up 500 Hornady 62g .224 BTHP from MidSouth Shooters and 250 125g JHP 9mm Comp from Everglades Ammo just before the Wuhan panic started. I got a lb of Titegroup and 1000 Small Pistols primers from Poppies Gun and Pawn/Blue Collar Redloading in Salisbury about the same time.
I got a lb of Benchmark and a lb of H4895 from Poppies/Blue Collar just as they were closing down for Wuhan. Then realized I didn't have as many Small Rifle primers as I thought, picked some up at the Gun Store in Lexington. This wasn't so much panic buying but something to keep myself occupied should I get forcibly quarantined. I still had a job Thursday afternoon, but Monday some furloughs will be coming down: I'm praying I make the cut to stay.
 
3000 RMR 124Gr FMJ bullets.

Stole this one on GB. 2006ish Colt WWI Reproduction Black Oxide. Grips look like someone dragged a file over them. It is missing the reproduction manual, wax paper wrappers and inner box but it will be used as a base gun so did not matter to me. Bought it for the rollmarks. It has been handled but I am not sure it has been fired since leaving Colt.

Beretta has a 25% off and free shipping sale...so I bought mags. Tikka mags generally run between $90 -$100....Getting one for less than $70 is a major win.
I also grabbed some 30 round Beretta 92 mags because I think I'm going to get a mag block adapter for a PCC I made instead of using Endomags. I like the idea of using the same mags in the PCC and the pistol, and I don't really care for Glock so...
 
6 boxes of this from Bass Pro (free shipping)...cause @BatteryOaksBilly told me to. :D

I bet those things would be wicked out of a Henry Lever .410 ... especially the little 20” barrel or even better the Lever Axe (Mare’s Leg type non-pistol NON-NFA firearm overall length greater than 26” inches with 15” barrel) .410 :D

Mine are going to be used with ~12” barrel. We’ll see.

With a 15rd mag, Billy says I’ll have a 60-shot .38 when I’m done. :D
 
Ordered everything but slide, frame, and extractor for the LEO G22 I got last week. Sadly the parts were 50% more than the cost of the gun.
