So all the frame work I did myself as well as the Cerakote work. But the slide and barrel were milled by Black Phoenix Customs. I also installed a custom adjustable trigger housing, modified the trigger shoe slightly, and mirror polished all the internals.

For some reason the video of the polished internals won’t load but here’s a pic of some of it.

How big of a deal did the polishing make in trigger feel? Been thinking of doing this on my pistola but want to know if it’s truly worth it or not.

It definitely makes it feel smoother and slightly less gritty. It also makes it a lot easier to clean as well. Unless it’s absolutely gunked up, everything else basically wipes right off.

From last weeks gunshow at the fairgrounds. You know, the one with all the buyer loopholes.
I found this one early Saturday morning at the second row of tables and didn't hesitate for a second. I see the prices are all over on these, but I think I did well on it. It was marked @ $430 and that ended up being the out the door cash price with tax and background check. My grandfather had two of these and he let me carry one hunting the ADK'S so I'm thrilled to have this one.
I've been running the serial numbers and googling the codes. Having a hard time with a 2 strange looking "C" Stamps that have a strange tail on them. But if I'm correct this is a very early model 141 with a mix of leftover model 14 parts. Circa 1930.
Oh, it shoots too. I can't see shit with these open sights but it goes bang .

Olight Mini 2 Valkyrie. I needed another WML for another room in the house, decided to switch it up from the TLR1 HL. I like a lot of the features of Olight flashlights and this is no exception. 600 lumens, magnetic charging, quick release, adjustable positioning on the rail. I'm really liking it so far.

Got plenty aggravated at the post office. Ordered some spare shear pins for the snow blower and then filled with only option for shipping was USPS. How the hell is Oregon on the way from Kentucky to nys. Maybe more people would willingly use USPS if stupid shit like this didn’t happen all the time.

Picked up a .30-06 with a scope from a gun raffle the other day. That's three guns from two raffles in the past year, all large caliber rifles, which is something I was lacking.

I hacked this raffle. 10 guns, only 500 tickets. I bought 10 tickets, which gave me an 18.26% chance of winning at least one gun.

My only complaint thus far is...why in the world is the magnetic charger not the same as the one for all their other lights?

I went out shooting with it today and I even like the looks of this thing, plus it stayed solid.

Yeah good question. When I read that I thought , WTF ? Why is it proprietary ?
