What gun stuff did you do today?

[Howdy]

Finished stripping the green paint from an SKS purchased here off the forum. Started refinishing anyways.
Stripped paint from the M16A4 I’ve had for sale here for awhile. Went great but if you’ve ever head to strip paint from picatinny rails you know my pain.

Lastly, bought a FAL (finally).

You can use any 9mm can for 22mag. I do this all the time.

I have four Gemtech cans and never heard of this???

I could be mistaken. This is the one I've been looking at.

SilencerCo Switchback 22, The Most Versatile Rimfire Suppressor

The Switchback 22 is the best performing rimfire suppressor on the market. It’s modular, lightweight, and has unmatched sound reduction.

You can use it on a 22 mag but I haven't seen any subsonic 22 mag ammo. My Dead Air Mask is rated for 22 lr, 22 mag, 17 hm2 and 17 hmr. It is rated for full auto. If the ammo isn't subsonic, you still get the "Crack" sound of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. You need to keep the rounds below 1100 fps to be subsonic. I use CCI standard velocity ammo which is rated at 1070 fps and it works great.

Yeah, I've never seen 22 mag sub. Ammo. Probably would not cycle in the CMR30 anyway.

Today I sold my last firearm. I definitely did not want to but the kids college fund was more important. Ahh well.

Kids schooling will be over before you know it

This took place over the last 3 days. Since I've gotten back into the .303 British, I've been going through the cast bullets. Up to this point, I'd only been using that particular bullet in the M1889 Swiss, so I need more cast .303 on hand. Over the last 3 days, casting on and off, I've made 1,215 more 303 bullets. A hair under 34 pounds of them. Will probably do more while it's cool casting days. View attachment 114802

Found out something nifty. Magpul mag fits nicely in tail hook brace.

Might not be 100% legal. I know those cant be modified in any way... dont know about adding to

Started cleaning my 22LR Sparrow can. What a PITA! It’s very dirty, pure white chunks coming out. Going to do the DIP method.

I ended up just dropping the can in pure CLR and put in the ultrasonic cleaner for 30 minutes. It came out perfectly clean. No need to do the toxic DIP.

I take it you have a gen II Sparrow. I have the gen 1 aluminum one, so harsh measures cannot be used.

I assume it is the gen two Bruce. It’s all stainless steel.

 

[Daezee]

Yup, gen II.

Tackled getting the brick of the large rifle primers out of the heat distorted plastic trays. Tedious, but I got it done and with practice, 2 pairs of pliers and 1 dental pick and wearing safety glasses I got faster at it. Only lost 1 primer when it went flying to parts unknown.

I researched for 6 hours on building my first AR

I'm laying on the sofa, waiting on UPS to deliver my new trigger.

 

[Daezee]

Fired 50 rounds through my M1889 Swiss rifle. Demonstrated the multifunction design of its magazine to someone not familiar with it. (3 position lever: single shot, repeater, and remove the magazine)

 

[Realtor]

cleaned a couple hand guns for a friend of mine.

 

[RackinRay]

Ordered an Apex threaded barrel for an SD9VE, and received a new rifle upper.

 

[FLT]

Loaded up some subsonic ammunition to try tomorrow morning .

 

[Yoda]

Installed the new trigger that I had been laying on the sofa waiting for

 

[Capt. Dave]

Got to the range today to do a little group therapy and dial in a recent scope swap on my Annie.

Range time with M&P45 and CP-33. I've only been shooting .22 for so long that a real caliber was a bit to get used to. Lol
