reverendg Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 No cool toys coming here, though I do have a TRS-25 with the AR riser on the way, and the Bushnell 1-4x24 AR/223 scope on order. One of those will likely end up on my recently acquired Nordic kit. The wife got me a TS stock for my old and ugly HiPoint 995 carbine this Christmas. Guess what I was working on Christmas morning? Those carbines are a blast and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty44 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 January 10, 2015; 10 AM:This morning I found an ad for Sportsman's Guide offering wood ammo boxes. Said limited quantities. I ordered 5. These are apparently American made, never issued. Approximate interior dimensions 13" x 14" x17" tall. About $20 each.Several years back I bought some Russian ammo boxes from Sportsman's Guide that were/are great. There is a post in this forum somewhere with pics of the Russian 7.62x54R ammo boxes as I varnished them with Walnut stain and Spar Varnish inside and out. One of my Russian ammo boxes was badly damaged; not apparent until the lid was opened and half the box fell apart. I used Gorilla Glue according to directions (wet one wood surface, put a small amount [thin bead] of glue on the other surface; clamp together for several days. I weighted the box down with the rest of the boxes to hold everything as tight together as possible. The fix worked perfectly and with the stain and varnish and a long time since I am not sure I can tell which box it was. That old wood soaked up a lot of stain and a lot of first-coat Spar Varnish, very little second-coat varnish. The boxes are quite pretty for what little effort I put into the finishing. I kept the original markings/stencils visible through the varnish and minimally sanded the first coat. Those old boxes are now full of my ammo and shooting supplies. Perfect for that use. Notes on these new ammo boxes I ordered from comments/reviews: There is only one hinge. Best to remove it and replace with two hinges if you are going to be opening & closing very often. Latch will not secure lid very well. Replace that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've made a couple of wooden ammo boxes, and am going to make more now that I've found a away to transfers graphics to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I just picked up a "Junior Colt" .25acp. LNIB with 2 mags, papers and cleaning rod. It was shot once, and has been in a safe ever since 1968. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Those are nice. Used to have one. Made by Astra IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yep. think it was Jeff Cooper who said (paraphrased):"If it makes you feel safer to carry a .25, then by all means do so, but whatever you do , don't shoot anyone with it, because if they find out about it, they will get angry and may hurt you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I still own a couple of 25s. A vest pocket Colt and a Baby Browning.Both in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmike Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just for fun Smurf, I will have to shoot it at least once. Although I see that these things are priced pretty high on Gun Broker. Story that came with the gun is that it was purchased in 68, one mag (7 rounds) was fired, it was cleaned & placed in a safe. It came with a box of ammo missing 7 rounds, but the box does not appear to be 47 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimble1 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Had a nice Blackhawk case ordered for my HK 416, and did not expect it until next week but it came in yesterday!! Very fast shipping from company called Hunters Bundle...a Amazon seller. Very pleased with the case too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sending the slide from my Beretta 84fs to ToolTech for night sights. Trying to decide if I want to have some custom grips made for the same pistol..... LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just got the slide back, great work! They drilled out the front sight for the tritium vial, and made a new custom rear sight. Now I have 8 months to wait for the paddle holster I ordered. Also have a DeSantis scabbard on order that should ship in 20 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I used to own one. A great pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridurall Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I just picked up a Windham .308 AR Hunter with the Nutmeg Laminated wood stock that I fell in love with last Tuesday and brought it home on Thursday. On Friday I figured I'd better get me some 25 round PMag magazines since my Armalite AR-10T magazines won't fit it. I will never understand why all those other companies didn't use the same magazines as the original real AR-10s used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndigoWolf Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Ordered my Ruger 22/45 LITE a new pair of grips. Spalted Mango Target Grips with thumb rest and palm swell.Also contacted MaddMac's Precision Tactical about making a one off linear compensator for my pistol.

Microgunner Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Damn, them's some pretty grips! Grips cost more than the pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
