New acquisitions for June 2007

[ranger4-7]

ranger nice gun!!!...my buddy has one and its sweeeeeet

let me know how you like that drop leg!...ive been considering getting one of the latest version that allows the tac light to be on the pistol

I love the drop leg. There are a few things in particular that I find to be superior. The dual connections to the utility belt. This allows access to the pocket when the rig is worn. It also provides a very stable and secure attachment. The leg straps are wide and strong. The stripes that are visible in the strap is more than decorative. It comprised of a rubber like substance that keeps the straps from slipping.

The holster secures the weapon well, and allows for a nutural and fast unholstering. Not sure about the ammo pouches yet. I'll report out on them after they arrive. I think it's it a great compliment to what I've settled on as my favorite combat vest/ammo pouch combo. which I'll reply to in your other post.

Thanks,
Chris

Finally arrived this morning - and well worth the waiting:

Barrel is dated 5/44, the serial number comes back as 6/44. Doing a little work on getting the stock cleaned up but otherwise it looks to be 100%. Trigger group looks brand-new. Someone wrote "Nice, huh?" on the barrel tag. Boy, he wasn't kidding. The photo doesn't do it justice, I'll try to get more when the stock is cleaned up.

There was one produced for each ATF Agent. I just sent for a letter from Roy G. Jinks at S&W.

Purdy!!!

 

[dreppucci007]

Well, it's not quite a new gun, but thanks to my buddy Adam at Infinite Arms, today I picked up this:

Black Hills Red Box .223 75gr Match Hollow Point - 1000 rounds

These will be shot with my new Rock River Arms AR that Adam set me up with, as well...I still don't have a scope yet, so pics won't come until then

dave that must have cost a pretty penny...what are you lookin at for a scope?

Inland CMP M1 Carbine

Just arrived from CMP.

The stock has a couple of gouges, and the handguards
don't really match, I'm thinking of getting a replacement stock, eventually.

 

[LORD of WAR]

i wish i could get a cmp carbine

im not a member of the cmp and by the time i get around to buyin a carbine theyll prob be in the $1500 range easily

 

[dreppucci007]

dave that must have cost a pretty penny...what are you lookin at for a scope?

Well, it wasn't cheap...But I got a great deal.

Here's the scope:

Leupold VX-III Long Range 30mm tube 6.5-20x40 with Side Focus and Leupold's Varmint Hunter's Reticle

It'll be ~$570 from MidwayUSA...I gotta save up for that first

I'm pretty sure it's what I'll go with, at least.

 

[LORD of WAR]

nice...cant wait to see the final product...i still need to build myself a fullsize AR to compliment my 2 carbines

what about a super sniper for it?

Overall it looks pretty good to me. I see what you mean about the handguard though. Maybe stripping the finish will lose the darker color. Could be just a grimey handguard on a semi clean stock.
I'd try stripping it with Purple Power and applying BLO once its clean and dry. I don't think any of these have original US stocks so you probably don't have anything to lose by trying to clean it up.

 

[dreppucci007]

what about a super sniper for it?

Ran through my mind, but:

1) Super Sniper is fixed power (Max 10x with side focus)...I want something variable, and more powerful

2) The Varmint Hunter's reticle is VERY attractive

3) It's a Leupold...It's all I put on all my rifles.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere in gory detail, but could you give a short summary of how I ought to strip and refinish (i.e., what grit sandpaper, how long to soak, etc), and also where is a good place to get the chemicals? Thanks!

Read this before you do anything and please don't use any sandpaper.

Not only have I resisted to shoot it in the past 24 hours, but now it's going on 48 hours!

Wow... I remember getting my Model 19. Mike & I went from J&J Guns (Bayonne, NJ) directly to Hudson County Pistol Range to try my Mod 19 out immediately.

Finally, found a place that sells this stuff...in RI. I called them and they will not ship to Ma.

Drove there today and it was weird. I walked in, looked around for a while, told them what I wanted, paid them and left.

They didn't care who I was or where I was from. Weird compared to Ma.

Woonsocket?

Ah, yes. I go down there sometimes when I need lead reloads and don't feel like paying the outrageous prices that they folks they ship to in MA charge. I really need to start reloading again...

i wish i could get a cmp carbine

im not a member of the cmp

Oh, stop whining! Get off your butt and go up to Riverside Gun Club on Sunday for their CMP Qualification Match; that'll give you the certificate you need. The other thing you need is a GOAL membership card... and I'm you have one of those already!

Here... let me give you some incentive:

Problem solved.

[The Goose]

Geeez Fred! Thats all I can say is "GEEEZ!!"

 

[JAMMIN]

The M&P is my first purchase in about 2 months, which reminds me that I never posted my last acquisition. I got this at the end of March:

Springfield XD 45

Now I'm going to let the two battle it out, to see which one I like better.

How did you get an XD I thought those weren't MA legal?

 

[drgrant]

How did you get an XD I thought those weren't MA legal?

They are 100% legal, you just can't have large cap mags with them
here... and an MA licensed dealer can't sell you the gun. There are a few
resourceful, legal ways around this problem.... (eg, private transfer via
FA-10) a lot of them rely on luck. (such as finding someone moving into this
state with an off list gun. ) Off list/noncompliant handguns are NOT
illegal to possess or own, period.

[PistolPete]

Here is my new purchase.
Dillon 1050 in .38 super:

 

[iodonnel]

Holy sac, nice. I NEED one of those because my 10mm is eating my wallet alive.

 

[abiffmaster]

Phoenix HP-22

OK, let's see 'em!

I picked this one up from Yankee Traders

 

[abiffmaster]

AMT Backup Special 9mm

OK, let's see 'em!

I saw this one and just had to have it. She's nice!

I'm sensing a theme here, Keith. Plagued by mice, are you?
