Guns, Gear, Accessories, Etc: What did you buy today?

I'd say it's a good use of the money spent. Instills confidence that your primers will not back-out upon firing...

Have used it so far to check maybe 200-some cases. Found two that found their way into the trash. I have set the standard that if the big end goes even halfway into the primer pocket, that case gets the axe. I s'pose the loosie-goosies could be used in a bolt-action rifle, but I have so many cases there's no reason to be a cheap batsard.

I found a new brass I've never seen before. It's a WIN•USA product, marked 5.56mm. Obviously a military loading. Obviously just right there, waiting for us to reload it to the same specs...

You will love it. I use mine as my EDC.

One of those you-choose-the-side endplates that we have been discussing for about a week. Price was $8; shipping was $9. The die is cast. Why do I feel like I just got hosed? I'm not even sure I have a rifle lacking an endplate to which to attach it...

That skeletonized pistol grip has taken control of my mind. I can't say Yes or No that I'll go out and commit a heinous crime today after seeing it. I did load a hundred .223Rems yesterday, then crimped the mouths. Now it seems they will not plunk into my comparator; a tiny bit extends beyond the bottom of the thing. Hoping the force (F = ma) of the bolt carrier group coming forward will allow for a complete lock-up. Not all revved-up to disassemble all that ammo and start over again...

My good friend from high school is trying to piece together an AR in these dark times. Says there's nothing to be had. I have a bunch of small parts, so I'm donating to his effort. This is craziness. No TP. No AR parts. No ammo. At least gas is cheap and we all have the time to go out and shoot what we don't have...

Then he doesn't live around here. My gun store has plenty of parts for AR-15 rifles - lowers, uppers, lower parts kits, barrels, furniture, stocks, etc.

Stockton, Kalifonia. He goes to Turner's Outdoors. Mail-order, he says, is also a desert for anything AR. I look at examples like his, and I am just happy as helsinki that I prepped-up for all this stuff when we had that Kenyan dingbat foreshadowing these shortages through which we are now suffering...

 

[djthumper]

Well there you go, he lives in Kommifornia and trying to build an AR.

I bought a brand new 2020 American Samoa 25¢ from the U.S. mint. What do y'all think, so pretty, and so yummy: soup anyone?

He was at KW Defense in Stockton when UPS showed-up; he got everything needed to finish it in one place at one time. His rifle has a protruding pistol grip and a collapsible buttstock. The Juggernaut Tactical rear takedown pin negates the requirement for all of the other sewage the State of Insanity requires on such harmless rifles...

They are solid steel pins for the bolt catch, utilizing a c-clip to retain them.

Sounds like a great idea to me! I use a Walt's Tool to put the bolt catch pin in place. Your pin removes the possibility of a tool scratching the surface of the lower receiver. Also makes for an easier removal should that ever become necessary.

I decided to give these a try. They are solid steel pins for the bolt catch, utilizing a c-clip to retain them.

My lowers use 5-40 threaded pins. Very easy to install w/o risking the finish.

I picked up a sling and a quick disconnect ring today at my local gun store. I can transfer the sling onto 3 of my rifles right now (4 when the next one gets finished - I'm not sure if my Diamondback DB15 has a quick disconnect lug or not). I figure it is time to be a little more prepared.

Which ACOG you have hiding under the scope coat? I am guessing TA-31.
