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

I sold a Mossberg 22, a single plastic gun case and a set of Pacific 222 remington dies at our local gun show this weekend. I picked up a bunch of ammo related stuff.



The deal of the weekend was two sets of carbide 38/357 Ns a steel set of 38/357 dies for $20 for all three sets.
I picked up two boxes of 32 remington for my 32 remington pump I bought a year & a half ago. It is obsolete so it is hard to find.

A bunch of other goodies as well.

I got an old bandsaw from my father-in-law. It came with a pet mouse.



I think he's trained. He stayed in his nest for the whole ride home.

Yesterday I received a light kit for my truck. Inside the grille. Just finished the install. (Pretty easy). Later tonight, I'll take a short video and post it. Daytime looks good. Can't wait for the night.

I got a new Thordsen stock. Weeee!

I'm sad that I don't have any more uncompleted lowers to put together.

 

[stuck in ny]

Yay! Finally found this!!
I bought this last evening:

Galil Ace 308 NIB with everything pictured for $1800! Eighteen freakin' hundred bucks! How could I turn that down?! Seller said he paid over $2500 for the whole package. Wanted to buy a SCAR off his buddy he said. I have little interest in unicorn guns like the SCAR that take expensive unicorn mags.

You can get a replacement lower for the SCAR that makes it take DPMS pattern ar10 mags.

And it costs several hundred $$$ and adds a pound of weight.
I had the opportunity to send 40 rounds downrange through a SCAR last month.
The gun was completely naked, irons only compared to my loaded with everything Ace so it was difficult to make any direct comparisons.
I was impressed with the lower weight of the SCAR but unimpressed with its higher recoil, though the owner had swapped out the factory brake for a flash hider. I think that was a bad move as even double taps were hard to control with muzzle bouncing around so much and the inability to maintain a sight picture during fire.
The Ace is so stable I can spot bullet impacts through the scope.

I am slightly disappointed in the current game library for it being out for almost a year and a half. But looks like some fun indy games

Are you nuts? There are shit tons of games available. Physical retail only scratches the surface, check the online store, all kinds of great stuff there.
I have gone the all digital download route to ease the portability of the thing. I did invest in a in a 256GB SD card.

[Retired Guy]

Just bought a Beretta M9A3 -- should get the judge's ok this week. Needed to sell my Kahr CT9 and Ruger PC4.

 

[BDinPutnam]

I kinda got a new set of jobs, temporarily at least. Good and bad I suppose.

National Director, and our office director, both have babies on the way early October. I will be running the big show single handed until early December.

You're taking their jobs away because they're pregnant? You bastard!

Read another way- they're dumping their jobs on me because they're entitled.

 

[GOPerfect]

Target
What kind did you buy?

I bought no e pulleys last spring and they are laying 6 to 8 eggs a day.
I bought 3 Rhode Island Reds
3 black sex-links
And three gold sex-links.

 

[Target]

I have 80 Rhode Island Reds from Cackle Hatchery.
I picked up 9 Cinnamon Queens at Tractor Supply a month ago and am looking for White Silkies.

We currently have 30 or so birds at work ( down from 50) that are 3 years old and egg production is slowing down. 75% Rhode Island Reds, 20% White Silkies and the rest just 'were there" one Monday when I got to work.
Getting close to "Freezer Camp " time ( as they say on my wife's pet chicken forums) for some of the freeloaders.

My wife has 9 girls from 2 batches. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Rhode Islands, a Buff Orpington, a Cochin, a Buff Silkie, an Easter Egger, don't recall the last one.
Her's are all pets and are named.

 

[MilesTeg]

I cant wait to do chickens next year. The wife and kids are excited for it. Me I would rather do meat chickens. What's your guys thoughts on needing a rooster in your flock?

 

[Robin]

Oh yeah!! Rooster is an absolute necessity!!!!

You chicken folk need to listen to C.W. McCalls "Wolf Creek Pass".
