Whoa, that's a thing? $65 seems like too low a price for that. Considering this...

My mother told me money didn’t grown on trees, I now wish she had been more clear about HKs.

Medium Big Green Egg.
On Deck
Getting the charcoal started
First run
7.4# turkey breast section a bit into the process.
It's done (~6 hour cook time)...
In a bit I'll take the meat off the bones and it will be sammiches for the week. I'll be doing one of these each week. Talked with the meat manager at the Hannaford I go to and he'll get me a case of the turkey breast sections even when they are not normally getting them in (they stop in the spring, and start again in September).
I'm also going to see about using the BGE instead of my gas grill as much as possible. I know there will be times where that's just not feasible (weather conditions more than anything).

Finally received my X95 from Great Road, UPS delivered the rifle to the WRONG address last Thursday. WTF? Went to the 25M range at Harvard, lifted the front and rear sights, loaded 3rds into the 10rd PMAG that came with the rifle, pulled the cocking handle and let the bolt fly and I get a double feed. WTF? retract the bolt, drop mag and shake out the 2nd round and eject the 1st round. Load 1 rd into the mag, load rifle, place barrel in bench rest and BOOM! repeated this 5 more times and all rounds into the black on a pistol target. Not bad for the crappy sights, my SIG ROMEO 5 should arrive today. Rifle is heavier than my M-4 especially in the back, also waiting on a Zahal sling.
I'll purchase the Giessele drop in trigger next month and we should be good to go.

Haven't posted in a while...been a busy few weeks for me.
I picked up a very nice 4" Model 66-1 earlier this month which looked basically unfired. Sad to say it's taken me so long to get my first S&W revolver but fortunately I got a really good deal on it from a LGS. I'm glad I picked this one up because it's such a sweet shooter. I can see why revolver guys love these older Smiths.
Here's the reason why I've been so busy lately....my wife and I had our first child at the end of August. Meet Sam! He was born at 35 weeks at a healthy 6lbs 10oz and 18 inches long. Since he was early he had a two week stint in the NICU to make sure his lungs were fully developed and he could feed on his own. Once he figured out how to feed we were able to bring him home. Other than being early he's a perfectly healthy newborn coming up on his 1 month birthday.

So . . . it's a bolt action X95?
Let's see.... Got an upper/lower "live free or die" set from McPherson's last week. Ordered a 14.5" Ballistic Advantage performance and a 3 prong flash hider (because brakes/comps are for girls), and ordered a 13" Geissele SMR MK8, which comes with a gas block. I'll order a BCM lower parts kit with their buffalo cum coated trigger next week. I'm undecided if I'll go with a B5 SOPMOD or BCM stock, but that'll be in October anyway.
HUH?

You mentioned a double feed, then loading single rounds in it.
Double feed from the 10rd mag supplied w/the rifle. I loaded 3 rds at first.
