Why are people starting these "New Acquisitions" threads without actually posting a new acquisition ?
Here is a wicked crappy photo of some new magazines for my December acquisition
Now I'll be honest, they were delivered yesterday, but I just opened the package today. That counts right?
December acquisition again
Advantage Arms 22 target kit for 1911
Technically this was a December purchase but it is fully up and running as of today and is a big part of my New Year's resolution to venture into Walmart as little as possible.........seemed intimidating at first but it is actually very simple ![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
Amen! I thought that was a prerequisite to starting the thread?

Rock River Arms LAR-15 Entry Operator 2 with vertically adjustable RRA A2 buttstock, chrome bolt group, forged changing handle and NM 2-stage trigger. Great workmanship! Also a few Colt unused but pre-ban mags that I've had stashed for years. Troy VTAC handguard, YHM low-pro gas block, JP offset iron sights, Vortex scope, and PIG sling inbound. Sorry for the low quality cell phone photo.
Can you tell me anything about this work bench? DIY or complete/kit? I am looking to do one in a hardwood surface but have not decided yet on buying or putting something together of my own, and that setup is pretty sweet man.
Thanks! I bought the bench from Sears, it is a Gladiator brand. Very heavy duty, 6ft model, and the height is adjustable. They only had one in stock at the Taunton store, but you can order one and have it delivered for pick up at the store.
1980 Browning 2000 (one of the last Belgian made Brownings). This was my dad's duck gun from 1980 until 1992. He bought it back in 1980 when working at a sports shop in Jersey and said he doesn't get to shoot it enough where he lives now in NJ, so he left it with me after visiting for the holiday. He told me that he opened at least 20 boxes before picking this one for the best figuring in the wood. It hadn't been fired it for 20 years until today when I took him up to a spot I shoot at on some WMNF land. He brought up his old clay bird thrower, and we shot through a box of shells. Gun still cycled beautifully and looks brand new. I can't wait to pass this down to one of my kids when I eventually have one.
Also got a dog. Her name is Callie. She's cool. So is the girl friend.

Not really a big acquisition but in these FR times I was lucky to get a DPMS LPK for my Detroit Gun Works build. I'll have a much bigger post sometime this week. ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

Same LPK I bought for my LRB build. I actually am very happy with the kit. Works very well IMHO. The trigger is pretty good too.
So, today was like Christmas for me! I got a bunch of stuff I ordered at the end of last month, some pre-crazyness, some post.
In the Picture we have:
2 Complete Uppers
2 New Frontier Polymer Lowers
2 CMMG LPK
1 DPMS LPK
1 M4 Hard Guard Set
1 Hearing Protection
1 16" M4 5.56 Barrel
1 CCI 22LR
1 ARFCOM BCG
In this picture, the pretty M&P 9 that I put a deposit on today

How's the quality on the lower ? I have one on the way.
Overall, they're not bad. They definitely don't feel like a forged lower, and they have the seams across the middle where the parts were joined, but a little sanding should bring that right down.
As for tolerances, I put one of the uppers on it and it was a little tight, but not hard to get together. And the bolt catch fits better than it did on the forged lower I tried to assemble this week.
