What gun stuff did you buy today?

[DadSmith]

Bought two range bags as gifts to family members who are having birthdays this month.

 

[BrassBandit]

TLR7A and I broke down and bought a Primary Arms SLx RS-10 since I can't find an Aimpoint ACRO p-2 in stock anywhere. It will at least let me get used to a dot on my Glock MOS for a while before I can find an Aimpoint.

Not a bad idea to go with a cheaper dot first on a handgun to see if you like it. I’m still on the fence if dots on pistols are all they’re cracked up to be. They’re definitely nice and make shooting a pistol “easier” for me, but definitely takes some getting used to and practice to adjust your sight picture. But for the ranges I normally shoot a pistol, I feel l Ike I’m only slightly marginally worse With irons

Going to mess around with 6mm ARC, so got a barrel, 6.5 Grendel BCG, and a couple 6.5 Grendel mags. The BCG is a toolcraft but is being sent back bc it’s out of spec with too much firing pin protrusion…will cause pierced primers. 6.5 bolts have a deeper bolt face than standard 5.56 bolts which requires either a longer bolt by .01” or a shorter firing pin, but with firing pin length variances a longer bolt is the better way to go.

 

[El Conquistador]

I picked up a S&W model 14-2 made in 1967 with target grips, hammer and trigger. Very happy with the find, I will try it out this weekend.

 

[PUNISHER1911]

My most recent buy
Springfield 1911A1 SS 45acp

 

[Colt556]

Mossberg 930 Tactical

 

[Lodge]

Ok, so it took me two weekends to put this all together. Close range part of my range setup. 2 benches, two tables and a gun rack. About $400 in materials and the prerequisite aching back.

This one is completely INGO's fault. I posted this Marlin Camp 9 PCC that was being sold by a local pawn shop in a couple of places hoping someone would buy it. But all of you resisted! I ended up buying it, 5 Mec-Gar mags, and a bolt buffer and spring. I'll get to shoot it Friday.



Old buffer:



New buffer:



Best guess is 1992 manufacture date.

Now I've got the mags, I guess I'll be looking for a S&W series 59 pistol to use them in.

Just put the new apex trigger on my hellcat, second one in the last month. Very nice over the orignal.

Keep an eye on the firing pin bridge, mine was broken and finding a replacement is impossible (or was), found a post on making one from a circular saw blade and has held up pretty good

I think you mean the Hammer Strut Bridge:

Replacement Marlin Model 45, 9 Hammer Strut Bridge, New Factory Original | Gun Parts

Shop for a replacement Hammer Strut Bridge, New Factory Original for your Marlin 45, 9 firearm with Numrich Gun Parts, the world's largest supplier of gun parts.

www.gunpartscorp.com

They are available now. I've had the gun completely apart and that was good.

When the buffer goes on the Camp 9/45 it can cause cracks in the stock, cracks in the receiver and bend that strut. Plus that pieces get into everything from what I have read. My best guess is that when the buffer disintegrated on the one I have whoever owned it stopped shooting it and it sat for a long time. The guy at the pawnshop said it came in a rifle bag that was crumbling to dust.

I put 110 rounds through it yesterday and it ran fine. A couple of rounds got deformed as they fed and wouldn't let the bolt go all the way back into battery, so 108 out of 110 worked great. The Mec-Gar mags I got from Greg Cote, LLC all worked as they should.

I had nothing to do with this.
I think you went out on your own this time.
So that you know there are a few food pantries in Indianapolis

Yeah, @grillak spent a small fortune looks like. Good haul though.
I have been finding .300 BLK for under a dollar/round pretty much every where. I picked up Fiocchi Extrema 125 gr. SST for $23/50 a little while back. Great round for the money. Shoots into ~2-3 MOA @ 100 out of my 16" .300 BLK BCA barrel with a red dot. .40 S&W is easy to find here and lack of demand for it keeps the price reasonable. I need to pick up a Glock 22 or 23 to put back while .40 is easy to find.

Lucked into a giant footlocker of Bulgarian AK-74 mags. Bought everything.

Also bought more mags for my Walther PDP from Gun Mag Warehouse. Just love this pistol (NOT for beginners).
