Let's see, today I picked up my Colt from the 'smith and while I was there a Winchester M54 jumped off the shelf and wouldn't let go. I'll post pics when I bring it home. ![[banana]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/029.GIF "Banana [banana]")

I gently caressed my Garand stock with a little more Boiled Linseed Oil.

Uspsa at Harvard. First time shooting single stack division. I suck!
Quick demo if the Veridian light on my LC9. Really lights a whole room not just a focused beam. And the strobe is just crazy

Split the wood upper hand guard on my new to me garand today...after 10 coats of boiled linseed oil. I feel like using my feet for target practice, but now that i'm an NES'r i'll probably miss.

2nd coat of BLO on my '56 commie Chinese SKS.
Installed two Mag Gutz kits into my Bodyguard Mags
Polished the insides of my 10-22 and hopefully preformed a correct "trigger job". Testing later today with hopefully some decent result.
Added custom wood grips to the WWII bring back FN Browning 1910 I recently acquired. (The original grips were lost by the vet who brought it back).
Took the Tavor to the range and shot about 50 rounds before heading back home...man it was hot out there today.
Brilliant!
Did some work to my fathers 1939 Remington 341. It's a bolt action .22, the first gun I ever shot when I was a kid.
The action was a little finicky, when pushing the bolt forward, the cartridge would nosedive and jam. You'd have to pull the bolt back a bit, then push forward and it could go into battery. I pulled the carrier out and figured out it was missing a tension spring that pushed against the inside of the reviewer to hold the carrier in place while the bolt was traveling forward. The problem is the spring, spring cup and wear pad were all missing. We were able to order the spring and pad from Numrich, but the cup is no longer made. Racked my brain thinking of things I could use to replace the missing cup before thinking to try a spent primer with the anvil pulled out. It fit in there perfectly. Reassembled and now the action is as smooth as I'd imagine it was when it was made 75 years ago.

I actually cleaned my MKIII today, it was way over due.
Reviving this thread! Put the APEX in my SD9ve.
And then replaced the rear plastic sight with an all black Ameriglo.

Yesterday I put a nighthawk custom match grade trigger in my Springfield 1911. Took some time to fit and polish it. What a difference than the mil spec, very smooth now.

Did my first blueing on a recent purchase that had a lot of holster rash.
Came out real good, better than I expected from a $20 kit.

Lowered the profiles of the ambi safety levers on my S&W 3913TSW. They stuck out just enough to cause them gun to hang up in the holster when I reholstered. Much better now.
