What gun stuff did you buy this week? (Page 86 of 89)
Does it count if I didn’t pay for it?  Had dinner at my Parent’s house tonight. My Dad walked up to My Brother and I and said “I got something for y’all” came out of his room with 2 brand spanking new A400s. Attached File |

Ended up putting an Arisaka EXPS Mk2 1.93 mount on my EXPS3-0. Seems to have fixed the problem I was having with the optic sliding on the rail. Also makes passive use with NOD's a little easier. The ADM mount had almost no play in the Picatinny slot to begin with, whereas the stock EOTech QD mount had a lot of room to move fore and aft. The ADM cross bolt fills the slot almost perfectly. Also added a single point sling.  Just waiting on the MK2 SMS Trinity to come out and also anxiously waiting for Midwest Industries and HB Industries to release their extended handguards. |

Bought one of these. Makes it so much easier. Used to install pivot pins in my bathtub with the curtain shut just to trap parts when they go flying. https://realavid.com/products/ar15-pivot-pin-tool

| New shoulder holster from Galco for my Colt New Agent 1911. I like using Galco holster and wait until they have a 30% off sale before I buy. |

Some NOS minor springs and a new crane lock for my Colt Tropper MK III. Just need to stiffen it up a bit. Then a WHOLE bunch of stuff for my 1895 SBL. A cross bolt safety delete, new NORMAL pistol grip lever and a Happy Tune Kit to get rid of the floppy trigger and the plastic magazine follower. CAN NOT WAIT to get rid of that stupid big loop lever. That damn thing is even dumber than the "speed hump" they put in 1911 grip safeties. Just damned stupid!!!

| Ordered a couple Arex Zero 1’s from Atlantic. A full size and a compact. $400 each and are supposedly terrific 226 clones. They can also use modified M9 magazines which kind of prompted me to purchase them as I have a box full of those mags. Google the “torture test” of those things if you aren’t familiar with them. |

| An old uncle of mine recently gave me a Stevens Model 84C. I guess his kids are either out of the country or uninterested in shooting and hunting so he gave it to me. It had no magazine so I ordered a couple. When they get here I can find out how this old girl shoots. |

 A couple Arex Zero 1s I got on sale couple with some inexpensive lights which were also on sale. Factory mags are expensive and hard to find but it’s not difficult to add a notch for the mag release to surplus M9 mags. I modified ten of them in about an hour last night with a drill and a file |

Its a shame they didn't make them just use Sig P226 mags. |
I've met cats and dogs smarter than Cory and Trevor.
Got a Ruger Vaquero 45 shorty with birds head grip for 700  Then left with this pile of ammo for $400  The 300 win mag was $25 a box. Now I just need a 300wm. There was one box of 300rum and I do have that and the rifle to go with it. |

Its a shame they didn't make them just use Sig P226 mags. $400 a pop now at Atlantic. I had several dozen spare M9 mags sitting in a box so I was actually happy to modify them rather than buy a bunch of new Sig ones. Apparently the 226, M9, Arex, and a few other pistols use them same mag body/tube with the catch in different places. Maybe it was a patent thing or because the Arex is an ambi release. The controls are a little different as well with the slide stop/decocker and manual safety. I have a few Sigs and that may take a little getting used to. |

Scored some old Armalites in my travels up in OK this week. Interestingly they didn’t come from the same place or even within 100 miles of each other. Attached File Attached File The coolest part of the 308 is I’ve had this in the parts bin a while! Attached File |

Ordered an A2 buffer tube, buffer and spring to go with a spare A2 stock I already have. Ordered a short (carbine length) A1-style triangular handguard for the same gun. Will be putting the parts on this gun, and the left-over collapsible stock may go to one of my pistols.. Attached File Also ordered a red fiber-optic front sight for one of my Ruger LCPs as well as a complete Frame for the extra Glock 17 slide I have. |
If I edited the post above it's more than likely because I suck at typing. If I didn't, I was either in too big of a hurry or just missed it.

| P-08 mag loader (Thanks Blackhawk5), and a rather large assortment of pistol mags for a number of different firearms |

Stuff for my newly acquired SIG Sauer P320 compact .45acp. Subcompact grip module, three 6 round subcompact .45acp magazines, Agency Arms trigger with dongle safety, jig & Dremel bits to cut the FCU for a thumb safety, OEM thumb safety parts and a Osight SE DPP red dot (I will have the P320 ,45acp machined for a DeltaPoint Pro next month. I have yet to cut into the FCU, I won't get the jig & Dremel bits until next week. I have converted half-a-dozen P320 to have thumb safeties. It is not for the faint of heart.) AND... no I do not carry in a AIWB holster. I would not carry anything other than a revolver or a double action only pistol that way. The only double action only pistol I own is a SIG Sauer P290. The only other double action only pistols I have bought are two LEO trade-in P229 .357 SIG that I converted back to DA/SA with de-cock lever. Though I bought ,40 S&W barrels for both, I prefer them to stay .357 SIG. (I have a substantial amount of .40 S&W) Just so I have a picture to post... Attached File |

| I ordered an RMR cut slide with a threaded barrel for the Dagger I have had for 5 years. I didn't really need it because I can use the irons pretty good on that gun, but I wanted to give PSA some love for their participation in thei win over the ATF/DOJ in the recent case in Texas, and for thier ongoing effort s of making the concept of "in common use" a reality due to their AR pricing structure. |
