What gun stuff did you do today?

[madeSICC88]

I finally got to do a little renovation work on my Recce build. I had a Radical Firearms 16" mid-length barrel on it, but it was not giving consistent accuracy, so I decided to replace it. I went with a Compass Lake Engineering Recon 16.1" [Douglas Stainless (polished) 1:8 twist] barrel w/ mid-length gas system, Wylde .223 chamber, and matching bolt. I also installed a Compass Lake Engineering Stainless Low Profile Gas Block (.750), Compass Lake Engineering Stainless Mid-length Gas Tube and Roll Pin, and a Advanced Armament Corp. Non-Mount Blackout Flash Hider. I just need to get it to the range now.

Got a call that my 45x40 work shop building permit has been approved.

James, is that brake timed properly? I have one on my midlength 5.56. Pretty sure mine is timed differently, but I havent looked at it recently.

Is that gonna be large enough to accomodate us all?

today I traded a Remington 522 Viper .22lr rifle for a Streamlight TL1s. Feels really weird trading a rifle for a flashlight, but I am completely happy with the trade and believe the other guy is too. The trade value is essentially the same, I may have even come out the victor.

I cannot tell you for sure. I have seen it two different ways.

ETA: I called AAC and spoke with a guy named Mick. I asked him how this particular FH is suppose to be indexed. He said it really did not matter with this one. It is, after all, a FH and not a brake.

I got out to the range this morning to test the new Compass Lake Eng./Douglas 1:8 barrel. All I can say is WOW! I am very impressed with the accuracy. This was money well spent. I was putting one shot on top of another without trying. This was at 50 yards with Federal XM193. The next time out, which may be in a couple weeks, I will shoot it at 100 yards. I also shot the Glock 20 I have had for a while. Very nice shooting pistol. For a 10mm pistol, it was surprisingly smooth shooting. I also took out a friend's AR that has had some issues (FTE, FTF, and BCG sticking). I shot it with him a couple weeks ago and it was not behaving as it should. He said it had not been cleaned since he got it and was not sure when it was cleaned before he shot it. He has run several rounds through it to include TulAmmo .223, of which caused some issues. After our range trip together, I brought it home, took it apart, and cleaned and lubed it. Today, I only ran 10 rounds of XM193 through it, but every one went off without a hitch. That was a dramatic improvement from two weeks ago. He should be happy now. He gets home in a couple weeks and I look forward to giving it back to him in a working condition.

Looks great, its all pretty uniform too.


Went to the range this morning...im almost to the point to where I'm not a complete failure behind a pistol, still can't hold a group for shit but I can keep them somewhat in the same general area haha.

 

[Rapier]

Probably will hold a few.

Thanks. Yeah, to be a few different manufacturers, the colors are very similar.

I got a new patch for my range bag today.

I replaced this:

With this:

Or maybe I should go with this?

 

[JWlineman]

Worked out great!

I did OD green on mine to match the terrain up in Idaho when I go back, I've considered trying to find a color similar to the red dirt down here. I think that might look pretty cool

Got in my SS interior spacer tube for my Form 1 suppressor build. Also got notice that the fast twist 358 MGP barrel shipped my way Friday, so the big bore sub gun build is getting closer. The other upper junk is sitting on my bench awaiting the barrel.

Spent last night polishing internals and adding the newest Apex Tactical sexiness to my 45 long slide M&P. The end result was #2 trigger with super short take up and throw and 0 over travel.

This morning we are headed out to Styx to test it and another couple pistols my father recently added to the stable.

Went to the PC gun show today. Could not spend much over an hour there even though I tried. Then I met up with Poppop to pick up some ss ladle's. All in all a good day.

Not to bad, the new 45 with Apex goodies is impressive and a little scary

I put a scope on my new 22lr bolt gun last night. I'm going to take my little sister to the range tomorrow and I'll be sighting it in and seeing what it will do with Gemtech Subsonics.
