Got my MDT ACC Elite. And now my 22 finally balances. I should have just rebarreled it but this works finally

No picture, but I have an older Marlin 1895 in 45-70 that I bought new decades ago. Bought for a bear hunt that didn’t happen. Last year decided that I should at least take a deer with it, and swapped out the peep sights for a scope. It shot well and fed the 405 grain flat point flawlessly. However on way to deer camp picked up a box of Hornady soft points ( leverevolution). The soft points turned it into a jam-o-matic. Seems it’s well know that original magazine follower didn’t work with the pointed bullets. So today I installed a new aluminum follower with a dished surface from Ranger point precision. I had made up some dummy rounds that always jammed action on last round. The fed beautifully with the new follower.
My rifle is old enough that it had a metal follower, just a flat face

Broke down top end and cleaned fully and then installed new tritium night sites on the $279 G21 Gen 4 Police Trade in.
Christ these things are getting cheap. $40 dollars now off amazon for US made night sites. Like half the price they used to be. Left me some $$ to buy a 3 pack of Gen 5 13 rd mags on sale at Midway, and still be under $375 for the whole deal.

I got this Osight on the pre order deal several months ago for just over $100, I haven't done anything with it until now. I didn't really want to swap out on of my other optics for this. I figured its about time to try it out so i picked up an EGW plate to mount it to this GP100.

Broke off the tip on my Baer slide stop. Derr Precision rescued me in no time with a Wilson replacement he fitted.

MIM?
Gun looks to be old enough to be pre MIM… but… looks like how a MIM part would fail.

Recently upgraded to a 10-8 performance Slide Stop. The thing a work of art! Beautiful bluing and crisp sharp machined edges. Nicer than the wilson bulletproof on my other gun finish wise.

This piece isn't the bulletproof but the generic piece. I'm going to look at that one.

Finally wrapped up a dream gun.
Belt-fed tactical RPD. Weights like a sack of bricks at about 20 pounds and 40 inches long.

Finally had some spare time yesterday. Got two more fal's screwed together.
The first a German G1 on an imbel receiver. Very smooth build like any imbel build. Unfortunately I very foolishly forgot the handguard retainer after timing the barrel so I had to do that all over again after some choice words... but in the end my luck turned around as the locking shoulder in the receiver headspaced great so need to change that.
Just need to oil the wood but it's functionally ready for test fire!
Second one is a British L1a1 on an inch cut imbel receiver. Also a very smooth build, remembered the retainer on this one! Not as lucky with the installed locking shoulder but fortunately i had the correct one to swap out so all is well. Just having a little issue that it doesn't quite want to snap shut. The receiver lock in the kit looked almost new so I will swap it out for a little more used one that I have and that should do the trick.
Got two more to build up then I'm out of receivers. If anyone had any or a mutt in the corner of their safe let me know!

Will that optic hold zero mounted like that?
Finished up my S&W M&P 9 project.
Have to zero at a later date.
Align tactical gas pedal
HIVIZ front fiber optic green sight
Holster
And the whole reason I started this project

DSA had B&T make handguards that clasped around the barrel and into the cutouts on the receiver. Super tight and zero’s well.
There’s one aftermarket producer who followed the same route and those are a good replacement.
Had to Fanboy it up with the Jack Carr BCM grip

Turned a perfectly good Ruger Super Bearcat into a magnum. Damned metal shavings everywhere. Now I have to take the whole sumbich apart and polish everything that moves.
It's over 50 years old and has never been fired. It's gonna be surprised as hell when I touch it off--heeheehee. Can't wait.
Blame the demon rum.

It is still there, but for some reason it will no longer render here.

That's f'ing awesome
Installed Skinner aperture sight on a Henry Big Boy All Weather. Very easy, little effort to zero.
Got this new barrel for my son's CZ 457. Just installed it.
Got the barrel contoured.
i tried a new insert which worked a trick. In the past I've had to work in sections using a steady rest and some goodness. I went with a more of less Douglas '1.5' contour. Just a bit heavier at the rear than a no 1 but very nearly the same at the muzzle. In high sight I should have gone lighter, but oh well! I can always turn it down more at the muzzle end and have a stepped contour if it doesn't handle well.
was it difficult to undo original barrel? post some results later, i am curious how it will work out.
was old original barrel really that bad?
