New Firearms Acquisition Thread - March 2023

[Rockrivr1]

I’ll kick off this month with a new to me S&W 29-2 in its original presentation case and the tools that come with it. I need a new wheel gun like a hole in the head, but I can’t stay away from these beautiful vintage revolvers.

Noice! Not even a turn line on that one.

Scorpion SBR that started off as a full size EVO3 carbine with faux suppressor. Slapped on a In Lead We Trust tri lug 8" barrel (suppressor in my future) and tricked out with HB Industries accessories, Zhukov S-stock, Halosun HE510C-GR along with a Franklin Binary trigger... Full semi-auto!!!

My Sig 556 SWAT got lonely, so I picked up a Patrol to keep her company. Supposed to get about a foot of snow tonight, sounds like tomorrow will be the perfect time to play.

Might have to finally do some SBR paperwork, too....

A couple hand-me-downs from my father as his shooting days are pretty much behind him. A Colt Model M1917 and what I think is a S&W Model 17? Despite some pitting the S&W has decent blue on it. The Colt... well it looks like you'd expect a well used revolver over 100 years old to look like. Love 'em.

A little 4 O steel wool with some oil on it, and that Colt will clean up just fine.

Parts list please!!!! DM me if you want. As I want!!!!

The barrel is a Gorilla Machining 5.5” 5.56 NATO that I milled the threads down and chamfered.

Wow. Any range report or pictures? I'm guessing about a 3 foot fireball.

LOL!! Giant fireball is exactly correct. It’s such a useless violent weapon. I have lots of pictures throughout the build. Maybe I’ll make a new post about it, really rustle some jimmie’s.

Useless... But FUN. Gotta be loud as all hell too. Bad guy would probably die from shock more than anything.

 

[Toe Knee]

finally sorted out.
-New Frontier C5 Lower.
-Faxxon barrel with integrated muzzle device.
-Geissele Mk14 Rail

Couple buddies and I made a day of it yesterday. Hit a bunch of shops at the mill and I picked up this beaut. First CZ I've owned, reminds me alot of my Beretta in how it feels and the weight, love the all metal and can't wait to get it to the range. Hit Shooters Outpost after that and picked up some electronic ear protection, checked out the Sig compound in Epping (impressive) and then finished with Kittery. Headed back to my buddies and assembled his 6.5 creedmoor rifle.

Overall I'd say it was a good day.
