Well, might as well start this month out strong. Found a 1917 Eddystone WW2 refurbish for a great price out of state. Serial number puts it in September 1918, so just before the armistice. check. It'll go nice as a shooter with it's 3 parts matching siblings. Also a new black killy thing. Waiting on the mount and dot to accompany.
Off to start my search for a decent condition Ross rifle. Show me what you got!

I'm still waiting for the official announcement of me winning the September giveaway before I say anything more. ;);)
 
Not firearm stuff and technically this stuff arrived at the end of last month, but it wasn't all set up before this month.

Two 27" 4k displays (ViewSonic VP2768-4k) along with an USBC connected docking station (can feed two 4k or single 5k displays) to make this possible with my laptop.

Only 'issue' I had was the monitors only shipped with a display to mini-display port cable. The one on the left wouldn't work with that. Tried a HDMI cable I had hanging around but it wasn't able to feed 4k to it. Located a standard display port cable, and it worked just fine. I have two (new) display port 1.4 cables arriving tomorrow to use with them too. That way I won't worry about any of it.

Nice, I've been overdue for a new monitor for a hot minute. Really just use my 42" TV in my spare room for my computer. That's just laziness on my part though.

For boogaloo, yes. Got a lot of mags to maintain compatibility with.

Nice. Are you going to get different slides/barrels for one of them to use different calibers?

Nope. RMR and light for both, otherwise stock. One local and one in Free America.
 
Traded for this c. 1982 Walther made PPk/S in .380 for import by Interarms. Box and manual, but missing the target, brush and spare magazine. Perfect footprint against my 1939 commercial PPk. Shot great with my choice of carry ammo and PPU ball. This was made in Alabama, and is the last of the "good ones" with the license expiring in 1983.

Love those Walthers,,,,
 
Picked up my first Nagant revolver. 1941 Tula in original condition, albeit with honest wear. It's probable it was a vet bring-back but there's no way of knowing for certain. There's some light, inactive pitting on the exterior and quite a bit of bluing wear, but otherwise it's clean.

When one blows up, you have another one. I think it was a smart choice.

I'm looking at getting 2 Ruger Vaqueros SASS + a new SXS shotgun + a Uberty lever action.

And the new Dillon 750. [shocked]

It's going to be one expensive day. Lol
 
Finally got myself a fitty
