Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

[RooftopKorean]

My 3 lbs of H4831SC, (1K) Federal #205 primers, and replica sling for my M96 Swede Mauser (pic in my project thread) restoration project all came in today.

The powder is so I can start making food for my K31

I saw too many You Tube videos of fishing for guns, So I had to do it.
Free guns and zero background checks ahead. This may he worth a trip to Suckacuse if I can find someone to watch my back while trolling for guns.

You'd have to be a monster to be able to disengage whatever it is that magnet pulled up! Not for me.

Someone definitely put a bigger motor on that. I believe the original early 60’s models had a 2 1/2 horse Lauson horizontal shaft engine on them.

In 1956, Tecumseh Products Company purchased the Lauson Manufacturing Company, which was founded in 1895 by John Lauson. By the time of the purchase in 1956, Lauson Manufacturing Company had grown into one of the largest manufacturers of small gasoline engines in the United States.

Its a Briggs in the picture but Rupp came with came with Tecumseh like the red Alexander Reynolds above in my post been restoring these things for years I have 7 vintage bikes now some still need to be restored

Well rolled the dice and ordered an alien gear holster. Never tried one of these combination ones that are both hard kydex and soft materials. Only ever did the all kydex ones before.

Moved to a larger but cheaper apartment and now I am finally able to get a hobby room set up. I'll bolt a vice on there and a clamp on magnifier lamp too

I put a magnifier lamp on my workbench, but I never use it. Consider a set of these instead along with a good lamp.

It's funny you mentioned that, I just saw a great video on this type of product and I wondered myself if this wouldn't be more useful. Tge only thing about the mag lamp is that even if I don't need magnification I can still blast my work space with light which I find useful. I like a lot of light in general. But those head mounted ones are not expensive so I'll probably get one too.

I got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt.


Fucking revenue enhancement. That's all it is. I'm absolutely certain that there are no real crimes in progress or that need to be investigated in this city. No, apparently me driving alone in my car, not breaking any other laws including the ridiculous speed limit in that area is the major crime that needs attention. I hate this fucking State.

They got super pissy with me when I made a left on Niagara st in front of the burger joint down there. They acted like I murdered someone. I did t get a ticket but it was ridiculous. Two cops for it. My son was there to fish with me so I asked the one if he could get his fishing gear and go fish so he said yes. The other one yelled at me for it.
