Saturday:
My 8 year old son Aiden and I drove up to ZR Tactical to get my lower engraved for my SBR. On my way out their door Allen (Diamond Collision) texts me to tell me my barrels are threaded and ready to be picked up (Remington 597, Crickett, & Winchester 67A). We make the trip out to Avon and pick them up. We then headed down to Bradis to pick up a stock for my (soon-to-be) SBR.... and walked out with a new S&W M&P 15-22 for Aiden. He's ready to move up from the Crickett & my daughter (5 yo) is ready to start learning.
Sunday:
Aiden and I head down to Atterbury to try his rifle out and to site the other rifles back in after I put the barrels back on. On the way home he tells me that we need to take the scope off of my 10/22 (Vortex Crossfire II) and put it on his rifle... little SOB... Here he is when we get home proud as can be.
Monday:
I decided it was time I replaced the scope that came with my 13 year old boy's Remington 597 with something better, and I figured I would make Aiden happy(er) so I called Alan at A&A and ordered a couple of scopes some rings and a couple of mounts. After work I made the trip back to ZR Tactical to pick my lower back up (quick turnaround!). When I got home I put the stock on. I officially have a SBR!
Today:
I found out my stamps (finally) came in for my 5.56 and .22 suppressors! I stopped by Profire at lunch and picked them up. When I got home the scopes from Alan were waiting for me too! BEST. DAY. EVER. Here's my haul from today:
Here are all the rifles that were involved in all of this:
Is it crazy that with all that going on, this is the setup I'm most excited about?
I'm thinking about skipping work for the rest of the week... It can only get worse from here
Thanks again to all the companies that took my money and provided excellent service: Alan @ A&A Optics, Allen @ Diamond Collision, Andrew @ Profire, Bradis, and ZR Tactical!
TL;DR: Awesome week, guns, suppressors, SBR, optics....
