The Big X-Mas present for me this year was the MantisX dry fire system. Still playing with it and learning the features but I think it'll be fun.

I got big white stuff so far I need to go clear away from the end of my driveway and probably a few others.

Good luck with that. I have asked (just for curiosity) my county clerk how to add a pistol purchased in NC to my license and was told it cannot be done without shipping it to a NY FFL. Of course then it would have to be shipped back to NC so I could pick it back up. Removing guns is almost as tricky. They are supposed to be transferred from a NY dealer. I just laughed and said I guess I will have all of the handguns I traded away on my license forever then.

I hope it holds up better than the one I bought my kids a while back. The one I had only worked for a short time. It was a blast while we had it working. My so. Was like a delta team member with that thing. I was amazed and he was only about 10.
Have already added a private sale gun and a gun bought at a dealer here. Just sent in the amendment form with the gun info and wrote private sale out of state or in the case of the dealer here, just sent a copy of their receipt. No issues getting a permit back with the new guns on it.
Have dropped a bunch too, that I either no longer own or will never be back in NY.
As with anything permit related in NY, all depends on what county you are in. Shipping it to a NY FFL when you live in NC doesn't manke any sense. You just want it added to your permit so it should be the same process just minus the coupon.

Do your self a favor and take that tap and die set, leave it in the package and throw it in the garbage.
Its beyond useless.
I speak from experience.

I basically got it to clean up sae threads. If I want to tap something, I have a metric Irwin tap and die set.

Those are worse than not having any taps or dies. If you don't have anything, you won't get into a position where you rely on them.
With those chinese pieces of shit, you'll have a tiny glimmer of hope that they'll get you out of a bad situation. The glimmer will turn into despair and broken dreams when they consistently and repeatedly fail you.
I recommend returning those, use the Irwin set as a back up, and as you need them, buy something made of high speed steel (HSS) from ebay or Amazon. The cheapest chinese HSS taps and dies will out perform the Irwin set. The harbor freight ones just don't work.
A home run is finding American made HSS tools for reasonable prices. That's very doable when you're only looking for a single size.

I’m lucky as I was gifted a huge set of old taps and dies from like the 40’s and 50’s in great shape. I don’t use them much but I’m happy to have them.

I just realized i have some taps from my wife's grandfather.
Well I originally got Irwins becuase I did use them to tap Saiga trunions. They worked well so I've stuck with them.
I might return the Pittsburgh if it's that bad.

I have the heat gun. It works great for bending pvc conduit and cleaning out the snow in my patio door track.

Have an Amazon set you can recommend? There's so much crap on there.

Look for High Speed Steel (HSS).
At this point, I just buy them individually as I see them from either ebay or amazon. I prefer quality brands if I can find them cheap, but have had good luck with the chinese HSS taps and dies when the good ones weren't available for a reasonable price.

Garage sales too. Many people don’t know what they are and the amount of people with the knowledge to use them is dwindling rapidly.

So I'm looking at lowes, and the new Irwin sets are made I China. The one my wife bought me last year says usa. My that was fast.
I may grab an ok set of century or something. then replace with hss as they break.

I have a problem...
This came home with me today.

This is my first 1911
So far fit and finish seem very good. I love the color. Based on the discription and everything I viewed about this model, says it comes with plastic grips. So while the plastic grips were there in the case, I was pleasantly surprised to find it had wood grips installed!
