    I really like the Duramag magazines and they work where my Pmags don’t work reliably all the time. I think you will be happy with them and last where the Pmags I have to check for cracks all the time.
    Tested the 30 round aluminum 5.56/.223/.300 BLK in all my lowers. Empty, they dropped completely free as I expected they should after comparing them to my Pmag Gen 2 and 3, and Hexmag. The stainless steel 20 round .350 Legend Duramags were already a known good fit for that rifle. Hadn't handled a metal 30-round since the military in 1997.

    I shouldn't watch the State Legislature livestreams so much. They're bad for my bank account. Got so ZZZZZZzzzzzz bored by testimony on a couple bills preceding Senate Committee testimony on HB 1084 and HB 1235 that I went online and began shopping for a pile of firearm stuff. Listening to opposition testimony on the pair of 2A bills added considerable motivation to pull the trigger on the shopping carts. It was cathartic after listening to Action Desperate Grannies and the Brady Bunch. Some of it arrived today and there's more on the way. I've little doubt the MCC being reported on these and countless other online purchases have already flagged me for FBI and ATF via the FinCEN bank and credit union spying going on.

    U.S. Army MOLLE ACU triple 30-rd mag pouch. I use the ACU for holding 5.56mm NATO mags.
    Only one layer thick, it lays flat in a rifle bag. Two can be put in a bag side by side.
    They're made for Mil-Spec metal mags, but Pmags and Hexmags can be put in them with some patience in slowly stretching the material.

    MOLLE Desert Camo triple 30-rd mag pouch. I use this different color for holding .300 Blackout mags.
    The magazines are also a different color and the .300 Blackout are banded to help prevent a KABOOM.

    Holosun HS503R Red Dot sight with Circle Dot Reticle.
    Sig discontinued the Circle Dot Romeo5XDR and this one is the same size and features.
    Giving it a shot on one of my AR-15s as it has excellent reviews.
    Need to get a screw-on flash kill for the front of it.
    Already have a set of Monstrum flip-up covers that will fit it.

    Holosun HS510C & HM3X Combo. Found it at a super price compared to buying them separately.
    Giving it a shot on one of my AR-15s on which I'd like a 3X magnifier with a Circle Dot.
    Magnifier can be flipped to the side.
    Haven't worked with a large open emitter sight on a rifle, so we'll see how it goes.
    I need to get a flash kill for the front of the red dot.

    Protective "rubber" cover for the HS510C that can be rapidly pulled off.

    Yet more arriving next week.

    Another set of rollers for the MP5. Minus 8s this time. My bolt gap in my Zenith MKE was way out of spec. Started out 0.635mm completely factory. It should've never left the factory like that. The -6s got me down to 0.508mm. Spec is 0.25mm to 0.50mm.

    14 Duramag Aluminum magazines . . . 7 in gray which will get .300 Blackout bands on them . . . and 7 in black for .223/5.56. I keep them in different colors and band the .300 Blackout. The Duramag (along with some polymer Hexmag) have handled the .300 Blackout well.

    I've got boresights that can be loaded into chambers, but they've been less than satisfactory. Bought the Wheeler Laser Professional Boresighter. Attaches magnetically to the muzzle and the boresight reviews I've read have it at the top of their lists. It will get some use over the next week or so. I'll be putting some painter's tape over its magnet to protect the muzzles. I've got a 25 yard hallway that I use to boresight rifles. If done well, it's an excellent starting point that will get initial rounds at the range well on paper. The upside is not having to pull extractors off of bolts before using a chamber boresight, and reinstalling them afterward, and it has a power switch instead of having to remove tiny watch cells.
