Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

Stopped in at the pawn shop. They had blem AR uppers for $25. I picked up one just for the hell of it.

Picked up a Sig P320 Carry.

500 rds. of Lithuanian new-production NATO 7.62x51, from SGAmmo. "GGG" is easier than "Giraites Ginkluotes Gamykla" in Lithuanian?
This is among the loweR-priced, brass-cased, Non-corrosive ammo used by a rifle chambered in .308.

Maybe I should wait until the Next (unexpected/sudden) Gun/ Ammo Panic and then ask " How come I cain't find no .308?"

My very first semi-auto, centerfire rifle in .308 was acquired early in 2022, so there was no option of buying at 1999, 2010 prices, fwiw.

Prices in previous years have zero relevance to the present scenario -for gun owners new to this chambering.

Gunny, Magazines for the Beretta, AR upper and lower and a new Sig. It does appear you had a productive day!

.243 70 Gr bullets to reload

I had surgery to repair a hernia in early January and a couple of issues came up that kept me off my feet until this past week. So you can say that I’m just making up for the time I had to stay home.
The upper was in a box with several other, on the counter at the store. I asked my buddy about them. He said the boss bought them as blems for $20 ech. When they arrived they hat all the red paint on them. The boss told him to put them out at $25 ech and get rid of them. There were about eight in the box, I picked out the best one. I could have bought them all, but I already have several. Not sure what I’m going to do with it, but it doesn’t hurt to have an extra one or two around.
The mags, I got from a friend, last week. He bought 15 of them at a really good price, but didn’t need all of them. He offered them to me for $15 ech, I couldn’t say no.
I have a post on the P320. Got a good deal on it too.

Ordered a WC P365XL grip module a few minutes ago.

Another 500 rds. of Lithuanian GGG 7,62x51/.308, new-production "NATO". Face it guys/gals, prices won't clearly decrease unless there is a Very brief promotional discount for random ammo brands/varieties.

GGG = Giraites Ginkluotes Gamykla, manufactured in a small Baltic nation which told their neighbor Putin-Russia years ago to "s**** it" and joined NATO.

Picked up this part to replace a broken one. It's "in the white" and not a specific/exact replacement so it's going to require some modification and tempering.

A Cimarron Arms Remington New Model Army in 38 Special.

Picked up an unfired Armalite M15A4 today for a song. I’ll get it scoped tonight and get it to the range tomorrow. That Armalite two stage trigger is really nice for a factory option and I’m digging the OD furniture.

Two 1,000 count boxes of large rifle primers. This will be my first time trying bench rest primers.

Two 1 pound bottles of BL-C2. I want an alternative powder for 308 so I can conserve my Varget.

Got it scoped. Just need to go shoot it tomorrow morning and it’s ready to be a truck gun. I’ve got some 64 grain Winchester Rangers waiting for it. Hopefully it likes them.

Most required for a 6mm ARC upper. Took apart a 223 complete upper that does not see much use, and will reuse the upper receiver, handguard, and gas block. When I took it apart, the barrel nut was only hand-tight!
The barrel extension has some lock-tite, so I have to heat it up.

I ordered the new S&W FPC this morning. I'm not a huge fan of pistol caliber carbines (outside of lever actions) but this one may fill a need I have. We'll see.

I ordered a set of reloading dies yesterday afternoon. Just getting ready for better weather plus recovering from the creeping crud.

That is a good deal!

Sgammo - $254.95+ tax - free shipping:

Ordered a couple boxes of 7mm PRC ammo I found for $3.55 per round delivered. Spendy, but it will also provide fired brass to play with. Build is still months away, though.

Nothing big, just www ordered 1000 147 gr coated 9mm bullets.

4 boxes of .50 AE. All I could afford under the home equity line of credit.

2 bricks of CCI standard velocity. My one LGS called said my order came in. I didn't recall ordering them. I asked how much. I was expecting 50.00 per. I got both for 70.00 after tax. Im happy with that.
