New acquisitions December

Finally got this new trigger installed on this AR15.
About 2.2 lbs. and a short reset -- single stage. Haven't had it to the range yet but it replaces a rather gritty and heavy trigger.

UPDATE: I had a chance to blow through a couple of standard capacity magazines at the range and I'm very happy with this new trigger. With the light pull and short reset you can really blast through ammo in no time!

Won a P320 from Minuteman Armory at the USPSA Area 7 match. Due to the recent trigger issues with the P320 it took a while for them to actually be able to get one, but I was finally able to pick it up today.

I already knew I wanted to shoot carry optics with it, so here it is all set up for that.

Found this Nepalese Ghurka kukri at the flea market for $10. Handle and blade were a mess so I sent it off to Tennessee to have a new handle made and the blade ground clean and acid etched with copper. Sharp enough to shave the hair off my arm now.View attachment 214819

That is a beutifull edged weapon btw.

That Came out very nice....I have a few kicking around.

 
Picked up an ugly one.....too many beers



woke up the next morning and thought I did well



her butt was gorgeous

 
This came today. It is a handmade replica of an 18th century New England fowler. It is a 20 gauge smoothbore with 44" barrel and walnut stock. I wanted a simple gun, a tribute to my New England ancesters. Back in the day this type of gun would have been found in almost every rural home throughout New England. Practical and efficient. Capable of taking anything from rabbits to bears to home defense and carried into the Revolutionary War. This one was made by Steve Losey. The balance is just exquisite and it goes to the shoulder extremely well. Cannot wait to hit the range and make some smoke.

That's some nice!
My buddy used to have 20 and sold it for a 12. Very cool
He used to hunt pheasant with it. Talk about having a good follow through
 
FNX 45 Tactical. Rebate for free Vortex red dot is on the way.
I put 250 rounds through it before it ever made it home. 100 WWB, 100 Federal bulk, and some of my reloads. None of the break in issues that I have read about.
If we could only get suppressors in MA...

Happy with the gen 5?

Yes, very. Had quite a few Gen 4's and was never thrilled with them. The frames always seem like they had a bend if you squeezed it enough. I really like the grip texture on the gen 5 and I like not having finger grooves A LOT more than I thought I would.
