I got to start putting a parts list together for my next 25 builds. I am already doubling my list of projects this year thanks to the incompetent bafoons in Albany.
Have plans on building anything this year?

Not building so much, more like fancying up.

Built some pretty basic shelves in the basement yesterday. 2x3 framing, 1/8” plywood or 1/2” OSB shelving (using up scrap). Damn we’re they twisted. Yay Home Depot lumber. At least it got the basement a bit more organized. Still need 2 or 3 more units.

Are you going to "engineer in" the rattles later?
I have a S&W handgun I need to clean.

A pair of M1As.......slowly collecting parts.
It is a build in, 50,000 rounds down range should do it.Are you going to "engineer in" the rattles later?

A lot of things I want to build/buy but I have to save my pennies for moving.
There is little I like more than examining workshops.
There is a lot to learn by observing other skilled people.
When I was active duty I would find a shop that did something I was interested in, befriend the owner and work for them for free. Well sort of free, they taught me what I was interested in and I was unskilled labor they didnt Have to pay. I learned a lot about machine shops, guns, computers, carpentry over the years.

Currently stock piling parts for a 7.62x39 AR 80% build, my future Texas hog gun.

I learned my first trade this way. I turned wrenches at speed shop for just under minimum wage when I started. It was like trade school but I did earn a wage. It was only the owner and myself in the shop. Besides playing with race cars, we also worked on daily commuters to pay the bills. Within a year I was running the two bay shop. The owner was free to chase parts, run errands, and do the desk work. He was still doing 98% of the diagnostics but I learned a ton from him.
Just finished my 4th 1911 of the year. Officers model in 9mm. Now that the set is complete I can go on to the other projects I have.
Got the frames cut and slides fitted for my twin 1911 commanders in 45. Hopefully, I will get a chance to test fire both on Monday.

I probably shouldn't ask, but... Where are you getting your frames and slides from?
I don't really need another project, but what the neck!

Never did lay out any plans for myself. Main one is getting my finances in order so I can GTFO of this state.
Otherwise in picked up a 300 win mag that I want to throw in a decent stock and set up for long range, but down on Long island there isn't much opportunity for long range so I'm in no rush, I've even considered selling it to further my financial goals. Or mod my car

probably going to do a few builds this week since I am on leave.

If I only had the machinery, I'd love to build a 1911. Look forward to seeing pictures of finished gun.

Building a 9mm Bolt Action Rifle
I enjoy strange and unusual projects. What is more unusual than a bolt action rifle chambered for a pistol cartridge? While it has certainly been done before, for instance the 45 ACP De Lisle carbi…

That is one funky looking action (the donor rifle)!
When I bought my 22TCM rifle last year I was interested in doing the same thing. I haven't gotten around to buying a second 22TCM as a donor rifle yet but one day maybe I will get there. Unfortunately the bolt was not designed to be opened up much past the rim of the 9mm or handle a lot more pressure either. I was hoping to build a 9x23 win or a 9x25 dillon on it but it wont work so there goes that idea.I dream that one day I would try this build;

If you start with a complete frame instead of an 80%, its mostly hand tools and labor.
You can do it!!
I just want to de-clutter my garage.
