New Acquisitions for March 2011

[Carguy]

summer is almost here so i thought i would kick it off with a new DE filter for my pool

Tough to carry that concealed!

You know the AGs office is pretty strict about citizens going around defending themselves or filtering other peoples water
Be careful.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Nothing special. WASR 10/63. Picked her up last weekend. decent specimen; mags dont wiggle, front sight isn't canted, shoots well. Surplus sling is on it's way

What's with the Die Hard 2 mags?

 

[Cluster F]

Its been a little while since Ive had any additions, but a good friend is thinning out his collection and I figured it was a great excuse to help a friend out and pick up a few things Ive wanted.

Ruger M77 in stainless with laminate stock and a Leopold 4-12 and a Sig mosquito.

Doesn't even come close to some of the items here but here goes.

Citadel Officer model 1911.

Just picked it up this afternoon and just finished giving it a good strip and scrub.
Looking forward to breakin her in.

don't think i ever saw die hard 2. It's something i do when i get a new gun. red on the mags i have used, green on the ones i have not. once i have fired enough rounds that i feel they are reliable, the tape comes off, if a certain mag has problems, it gets yellow tape and becomes a range mag for practicing malfunction clears.

edit: I looked up the die hard reference. I see what you mean now. so no, they don't mark my "blank" mags or even any tacticool system for telling which mags are loaded with heat seekers. just helps a disorganized man stay organized

i read about this gun a while ago, how do you like it?

So far so good. The price is nice. I will post an update once I make it go bang a few times.

All in all fit and feel seem good.
I stripped it completely last night and gave it a thurough cleaning. These things come out of the box DRIPPING with oil.

The only trouble I had in stripping it was the extractor. It fits into the slide very tightly. My feeling is there
is just to much plating in the wrong places. I got it worked in fairly well. I will work that some more when i get a few rounds through it.

The only other "issue" I had was some flash on the plastic magazine floor plates. They would have ripped up my palm somthing awful.
Nothing a little emery board didn't fix

Hope to bring it out back Saturday and see how it runs.

Picked this up for a song (as far as HK prices go) at the Wilmington Gun Show last weekend... HK P7M13 in cherry condition. Absolutely flawless:

And these 2 were technically February acquisitions for myself and Fooped... The Schlamklappe Dunkelweizen and the 2nd Amendment Assault Porter which we brewed at Barleycorn's in Natick. They came out awesome and are getting better with age. Highly recommended if you haven't tried brewing beer before. And for those that don't speak google translator German, Schlamklappe is German for Mudflap:

Felt the need to have all .45 Glocks. Picked up the 36 last night.

Looks like it will be very nice to carry.

The M77 MKII is a nice rifle. I've got one in stainless/laminate also. Mine's in .308; whats yours?

 

[MattM]

Picked this up at cabelas for a decent price, matching parts except for side plate and russian capture. They also had a Egyptian FN 49 for a good price just giving you folks a heads up.

Very interesting! Those will compliment your Pony Express Colt revolver quite nicely!

 

[Kalahari]

Not a gun, but my first car. '97 black-on-black M3. Picking it up Monday.

I picked up a few bottles of this.

 

[Kid Presentable]

what not "range report"?

 

[MattM]

what not "range report"?

Yeah let us know how that is! I see it at Hannafords all the time and I am tempted but dont want to throw down the money on a bad bottle of beer.

 

[Old Glory]

I tried Infinum over Christmas...meh

Have a second I will give away.

 

[Old Glory]

Picked up a new carry gun at Northshore Firearms:

[Bolio]

Very nice Old Glory.

I can't decide between an "E" series or the Sub-Compact.

 

[drumenigma]

I've had a couple pours of the Infinium. It's more of a hyped up beer than anything. For the price I'd much rather buy something else. If you haven't had it though buy a bottle so you can at least say you gave it a try. There are some odd flavor notes going on in it though.

 

[Squished]

Been looking for a while and finally found it. Remington 870 Police Magnum. Nice and smooth action, built tough, feels nothing like an Express. Retired police gun, must have been in the chiefs car, barely looks used. Special thanks for Jim at MFL for getting this one for me. I put the stock on when I got home:

 

[Feral]

From my favorite '"dirty, dusty, messy, gunshop", that I make sure to visit on a regular basis.... 9mm FNH Browning Hi-Power 245 Series with two original mags. Not perfect but the price was right.

 

[George D]

Took a little trip out to Ludlow and FINALLY finished my Delaware Machine lower from the group buy with a Remsport upper. This thing is a blast to shoot compared to my 20" bull barell AR.
