What gun stuff did you do today?

[kendive]

Loaded some Mags and had fun with the Ammo.. It was raining and I was Bored.

You need to take up reloading... Good thing to do on a rainy day. LOL

Perhaps we're not good enough. Maybe Tack should start his own forum?

Dude,
You don't understand when you have more ARs than you can fit into your turbo charged Mini Cooper you can act that way....

Going to pick up a new dehumidifier for the reloading room right now. I keep one in there, and typically they die just after the 1 year maker's warrantee runs out. The last one I paid $24 more for another year's worth of warrantee from Lowes. Sure enough, it died 13 months after purchased. Lowes refunded my purchase price + sales tax. This new one is coming from Walmart + a 3 year extended warrantee for $19 more plus Walmart pays for shipping the dead unit for repair if needed. Lowes doesn't pay shipping, but the nice lady on the phone said just throw the old one away with no need to return it.

Yesterday I dropped off my SIG MCX rifle at FedEx for return to SIG for their recall/upgrade on the MCX's (SIG pays all shipping).

Bought an AK to AR folding adapter for my extar pistol, and thanks to jwlineman caught the shockwave blade pistol brace on sale at primary arms. Modified the adapter this morning. Had to mill off the male threads so the adapter will fit flush to the receiver. Gotta love youtube, thats where I got the idea. Waiting on next paycheck for a shockwave tube

Went to ERGC and shot the steel plate rack, that's some fun right there.

Picked up my Savage 10 FCP SR in 6.5 creed moor. Waiting for the rings to come in tomorrow for the Vortex Viper 6.5-20X50 I got for it. Awesome glass for what I paid. Bunch of different weights of 6.5 ammo coming in tomorrow also to see what it likes best. Range report will be up Sunday!!!! Along with pics....

Ouch! No more spinich for you and more penetrating oil for the rifle!

Where do you get AR Water pumps.....those long handles would give a lot better grip and more torque.

Yep, I'm sure these are better than the ones I have.

This is what I use. I found several sets of these quite a few years ago. They are basically drill sets that were not turned into drills. Each has a number on it plus a size (in .xxx").
They are made by Huot in St. Paul,MN. The sets have sizes from 1-60 in them. These are super hard. They will snap but will not bend. --- SAWMAN

I was kinda suprised it bent so easily. I was using my small brass/poly hammer. You get what you pay for though. It was a Wheeler set of punches.

You know . . you'd think that especially for working on guns,the industry would produce more tools (gadgets) that would gently push/insert/extract pins vs having to whack/beat on something. Kinda like made for the rear sight of pistols,especially Glocks.
I understand that the tool would be more costly than a hammer and nail . . but shit . . to me,for some applications, it would be worth it. --- SAWMAN

I had one of the exact same Wheeler sets and all of the small black punches ended up looking the same as yours. That's when I decided it was time to upgrade to the set I linked above.

FWIW, I still use some of the large brass punches. They work pretty well for select applications.

It's been at the manufacturer for a little over a week now. I'm going to give him another week or two before I start asking about it.

The manufacturer has had my cracked open gun for 3 weeks now, so I sent him an email this morning just checking to see if he could give me any updates or an estimated timeline. He just replied and said the new slide has been fitted and it is going out for coating with the next batch.

Bobby must be sour today?

By the way, how are the fingers doing?

He hasn't been sour to me. Fingers are ok. Never turned black like I was afraid of. My reloads were much better last night and I worked on my weak hand grip:

Oh yeah, I booked my hotel room for Area 6 yesterday.
