Ok, technically it's now Christmas morning. What did Santa Bring you?

I ordered myself a Burris Fastfire III sight for my Glock G19 MOS. My daughter got me a Keto diet cookbook, Mel Brooks movies, and a casserole pan. My son got me nothing, bless his heart. My dad gave me his old leather scabbard that he's used on countless big-game hunts all over North America. Weathered and stained from the sweat of pack horses, it is a cool piece of family history that I will display on my wall, girlfriend be damned...

5" gp100 in .44 special is at my FFL post office box as of this morning.
Got parts to finish up some of my projects, so I can start the new year with a clean gun project slate.
Now if I could just get my vehicle situation likewise, it would be a very good Christmas indeed.

Nobody gives me crap for Christmas. So I just write there names on stuff and say thanks.

A steel grip frame to do some work on and convert my buntline to a revolving carbine. A 5.56 bcg/ch combo for my AR to complete it again. A #1 wire drill for roughing out 22lr chambers. Picatinnny rail sections for an 870 will be going on top of my s&w model 10 to hold the reflex sight I’m due to get Wednesday. 2 pot/pan lid racks will be going into the safe to hold more pistols. .30carbine dies are coming Wednesday too. Hopefully I get a gift card or cash so I can buy a set or two of cheapish scope rings to mount my new scope to the AR.

Not a thing.

The day off. Sweet

Not exactly Santa; but I mentioned winning a USCCA (CCW carry insurance company) monthly drawing. Well, here is what it turned into:

CZ455 in .22lr, I also got a Leupold 4x rimfire scope for it, I just don't have in installed in this picture.


Remington R51, I just like that art-deco look. I also like that it is different from most other pistols.


I have several 380 1911 Pattern pistols and I have been thinking about this one for over a year; so I decided to get it. As you can see, I was not sure about a short or long slide; so I purchased and extra slide-barrel assembly, that way I can have both. If I turn out to like it my plan is to mill the long slide for a red dot.

Yes, in the spirit of Christmas (and my personal scheduling issues) I picked them up yesterday. The gun-store was quite busy.

A bit of a hangover

Two new thermals from my wife and tons of pleasure from giving to others and making them happy.

My MIL got me a muzzleloader field pouch. After looking at it, I will be using it a lot.
I didn't let my wife get me anything because she bought me an AR for my birthday last month.

Hi...
My wife gave me an NRA leather wallet and $75 Cabela's gift card.
My son gave me a set of Caldwell Deadshot shooting bags and a brass catcher for my new AR-15.
Wife also got me two revolving stools with backs for the reloading room.
Bunch of other stuff that isn't shooting/hunting/firearm related.
Very nice Christmas...

Got a pack of underwear and socks from the GF, because that's all I needed. Too much junk around here already and she knows better than trying to buy me gun stuff, as I have a box of 22-250 she got me before I explained to her how many .22 calibers are out there. I keep it anyway because she meant well.

6 pair undershorts
3 t - shirts
3 pair long johns. Those will come in handy while I watch other people go deer hunting.
1- Some kind of flashlight that charges by being plugged into a PC--OH JOY.
A large throw my daughter made to keep me warm while I watch THR---Now that is something I can use.

Have a great new year--stay half-way sober

I'll probably end up with socks or something of the sort.

I gave myself a Savage Mark II FV and Santa brought me a Bushnell Rimfire scope I was able to get early. Work gave me a Texas roadhouse steakhouse gift card I'm going to use tomorrow.

A 18 inch 6.5 Grendel upper plus a 10 round mag a bass pro gift card and cash which will become a 4x12x40 scope for said Grendel

New L.L. Bean house slippers!

New snow brush!

But most importantly, the gift of being able to celebrate the birth of my Savior in a free country!

gerber pocket knife

A Boyd's stock for my last rifle with the plastic fantastic bendable stock. It's nice right out of the box but the great thing is there is plenty of excess wood to work with to get exactly what I want.

That's the material and firearm related side of things. The greatest gift is being able to gather all four generations of us together and enjoy each other's company. The highlight is four GG kids that I call the "stair step gang", little beauties all.

A cowboy hat, a blanket roll, some kitchen gadgets, two pair of socks and an Arisaka.

Gave myself a riton red dot and a riton 4 or 6 by 24,, forget which. Also a lil bushnell red dot. Not gun related but kinds, wife bought me a sausage grinder from Cabela’s , so now i have to kill some of the feral swine with my new red dot equiped long guns. Merry Christmas to the best messageboard online

The great H4895 equalizer...lol!

An EC9s actually for my birthday and Christmas together, still waiting for my recently won at auction Ruger No.1RSI in .243, so much for fast delivery.

I sold my sole AR, very happy to get rid of it. I used the money to buy myself a nice watch I'd been looking at, a Glycine Combat Sub Golden Eye.

Nothing, but he did take a lot of money out of my wallet.
