What did you do to your firearm today.

I shot the crap out of my MG, my suppressed Glock and my AR at a pumpkin shoot at Harvard. A great time (and some brisket and pulled pork) was had by all.

Despite mother nature's best efforts.

I DT'd receiver to install target sights on my daughters Rascal

Wow. That is great. My daughter has a Rascal also. Excuse my ignorance, but what is "DT". What was this process?

Were the sights more than the gun?

DT'd Drill and tap.... I had to drill and tap the receiver to mount the base the sight attaches to... large thumb screw attaches sight to base to allow removal.
The sight is a williams FP low target sight with the adjusting nobs. I had to use a older redfield base as the williams are to thin.
I still need to correct the front sight as it shoots 4" high now with the factory front sight. Working on that now but will be mounting a front target globe sight soon.

I didnt document my little DIY sight install but it was pretty easy considering my lack of a good holding fixture to do the drilling.

As for cost I bought several bases for about 10$ each as to be safe when or if I modify them to center the sight better. Right now there is enough windage adjustment to compensate and still have more.
The rear sight was 69$ the front globe sight will run from 30-60$ depending on manufacture and style.
The drill bits,taps ans screws( I bought a large set of assorted screws) ran another 75$
Its all worth it as my daughter is small for her age and I think she wont out grow this rifle for a good 3 years anyway. There is not much in the way of a "target" rifle for young small 6 yr olds. The iron sights on the rascal work well but as you know are a PITA to adjust on the fly. My daughter likes to change yardage when we shoot and she in her words "Im tired of donkey windage" thats what she thought I said when I explained Kentucky windage and hold overs to her. She picked up on holding over/under so well I though it only fair to give her adjustable sights. Dial it in for 25, 50 and maybe 100 yards mark the sight and off we go!

Now if I could just find a better stock ! Also my daughter has some vision problems and the aperture style sights help you dont need to "see" the rear sight just need to see through it/

Got a great deal on a pistol light off eBay.

 

[beaker]

Received my new Maryland Gun Works Sight Pusher for Glocks yesterday, so today I replaced the dead night sights on my Gen2 G17 with AmeriGlo Pro I-Dot night sights.

I like them so much I ordered a set for the G30 which also has dead factory night sights.

I give the Maryland Gun Works tool very high marks, it is a quality tool that is designed to work perfectly and last for a lifetime. If anyone intends on investing in a sight pusher tool, this be it.

 

[Cluster F]

Bored. Did some stippling.

 

[Cluster F]

Added a side saddle and the Hogue 12" LOP stock. It's amazing. Really let's you get behind the gun

 

[Cluster F]

Added a sure fire front end I got off eBay cheap

 

[DanP229]

Dry fired mine a few times. Try to do that every couple days. Also broke down my Ithaca 37 for the fun of it.

 

[bobank]

painted the sights on my bodyguard 380 so I could see them. Tough getting old!

 

[mac1911]

Inspected a newly acquired M1 garand.
Peened gas cylinder splines, centered front sight, shimmed stock for better lock up
Next will be trigger job, possible new stock, refinish receiver.

 

[dhuze]

Not today, but yesterday.

I removed the magazine disconnect from my Sig Mosquito and I Took apart my wife's 10/22 and polished the hammer, sear, receiver and bolt. I also modified the bolt release to an auto bolt release.

 

[Viper22]

Ordered a 20 LPI checkered mainspring housing, and an EGW magazine release for my 1911. Once those come in and are fitted, I'll be getting a can of Alumahyde II for the frame.


Oh, and cleaned it.

 

[excoastie]

Put it on the nightstand next to me. If anyone breaks in and tries to take it, I can defend it... or vice versa.

 

[bobank]

updated my spreadsheet of makes, models, sn, etc and double checked all of my stored weapons to be sure they were being properly stored. Found some minor issues and took care of them.

cleaning guns tomorrow.

 

[shipwreck]

Installed a cz85 trigger in my p01. My fingers are killing me because that trigger return spring is a bitch. Eventually made a slave pin out of a toothpick to make it work. Now I'm happy

[oldguy47]

Stroked and petted my 26 and 42.

 

[MJ1]

Hugged the .308...................

 

[RubiconLJ]

Installed the APEX DCAEK in my M&P 9c this morning, should have done it as soon as I purchased it. Hope to take it to the range tomorrow and try it out.

 

[allen-1]

Assembled new shotgun, Mossberg 500 JIC-2, cleaned it, oiled it and made a playdate for tomorrow at the range.

 

[mac1911]

Put the finishing touches on my M1 trigger job. kept it a little heavy 4lbs 14oz. Didn't want to push the accuracy of my pull gauge. Match rule is 4lbs 8oz ....... next is metal refinish.

 

[kevin9]

Carried it.

 

[DW357]

Finally got around to cleaning my Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag. Cylinder and bore were getting pretty dirty from my hot 180 gr XTP loads. Going to try to disassemble and clean my M1 carbine and bolt for the first time tomorrow.

 

[dwarven1]

Found out what kind of ammo my "new" S&W Model 61 will shoot.

Survey says... Stingers!

Talk about friggin' unobtainium.

Finally took this shooting. It was my fathers pride and joy.

Awesome!

 

[MSant]

Replaced the internals on the hammer of my 10/22 with all volquartsen parts. Now I won't be able to try it out until at least weds.

 

[Almostelmo]

Replaced the internals on the hammer of my 10/22 with all volquartsen parts. Now I won't be able to try it out until at least weds.

I put the VQ target hammer in my 10/22 last week and hit the range on Saturday. My groups tightened up significantly. I'm very happy with the improvement.

Take the grip off when you get a chance. If "Andy" is engraved on the grip tang, my grandmother assembled the gun.
