    Yes Sir!
    Not "yet" again, just again. I only sold it once. And I'll be buying another Wilson 1911, and having another Wilson AR built. Whoo Hoo!
    Clearly I'm in the wrong business

    No new investments, I've just decided that I'll only own Wilson Combat from now on, so the proceeds from selling all my non-Wilson stuff are al going to buying more Wilsons. The goods are few, but the few are good. At least to me. :)

    Sold a rifle for my father then set up his new black rifle with an optic, his first actually. A Colt M4-22 he ordered brand new for less than $300 and he is like a kid at Christmas lol

    2 months ago I sent my Chip McCormick mags into them because the base pad welds broke off during IDPA. I got a package from them and was happy that I'd be getting some new mags for backups for USPSA...wrong...they sent back a thing saying that the follower is a different color than what they ship with so they aren't covering it and here's my broken magazines back...lol okay.... Still waiting for my Springer TRP to ship but at least I have 2000 rounds of ammo coming fedex tomorrow...

    Shot my 308 with Vortex Viper PST 4x16x50 scope... I couldn't get it to dial in and so we swapped it onto a friends 5.56 AR which is a tack driver. Same problems. I will be e-mailing Vortex on Monday about it. Put that big bad warranty to test...

    Also raced my new AR, which is absolutely fantastic. Now I need to get another. :)

    Got my air system installed in the shop and setup to test in the new shop. Plus ran the tractor in cutting the tall grass where the gas lines are to be installed. Hope you guys at the swap and meet had a great time, sorry I could not be there.

    Fired about 30 different reloads in .223 and .300blk. I don't know much about the different powders and stuff, but it was still fun to see the difference between them all.

    Been messing around with guns a little as I've been stuck at home. I've had to take it slow since I'm still not 100%. I picked up a chrome dome, early production 995 hi point monkey gun a few weeks back. Been playing with it and put an ATI stock on it.

    Also, put my first stripped lower together. I decided to make a dedicated lower for my 7.62x39 upper. I went with a Wolff extra power buffer spring also ordered a Wolff extra power hammer spring to ensure a good hammer strike on those berdan primers. Lacked a roll pin for the bolt release so tagged that along on the order.

    These are my 2 wtf guns so I don't mind experimenting with them. Its been keeping me quasi sane...... 8)
