A local security company is transitioning to automatics. They are selling all their S&W model 64's for $150! I bought four.
 
Beretta 92FS-Compact INOX w/ single stack magazine.
S&W 60-2 3" 5Shot adj sights w/laminated grips
 
i bought

a savage 111 30 06. it was the package deal with the cheap simmons scope. i am planning on putting a leupold on it later on.
 
All these cheap-o Simmons scopes ya'll like to bash... are they 3-9x32 or 3-9x40? If they're the ones like WallyWorld carries separately, I've had good results with them.
 
Oh, also ordered a pair of headspace gauges in 8mm Mauser, after finding out my local gunsmith wasn't equipped to check it for me.

Little box from Brownells arrived today... headspace on my K98 checks out just fine. Time to start stripping / cleaning / rehabbing my old WWII relic.

Just a brief plug for Brownells for you collectors and do-it-yourselfers:

My C&R "dealer" discount saved me $17 and change on a pair of gauges from Brownells (about $17 apiece vs. $25 and change for someone off the street). Don't have to do that too many times (like, twice) to recoup the $30 cost of the C&R... notwithstanding the benefits of having goodies shipped to your door w/o paying dealer transfer fees.

Sweet!
 
Two really nice unfired 7.62x54R M44s (who knows if you need a spare part??) and a beutiful unfired 7.62x54R M90. Cant have it all but at the right price you can get close :D
 
Don't have to do that too many times (like, twice) to recoup the $30 cost of the C&R...

I've saved at least 10x the cost of my C&R just on Brownells orders alone, and that's just in the 4 months I've had it. Even if you're not a collector, the license is well worth it. ;)

Of course, having guns shipped right to my house is pretty nice too. :D

PS -- looking forward to next weekend ...
 
This past Saturday I put a down payment on an order for a CZ452 Ultra Lux, my 8th CZ rimfire rifle (including the one I got for my dad). Hopefully it'll get here before the weekend for me to try out and possibly replace my 452 Training Rifle for O-Class at the CMP games at Camp Perry (if it isn't over 7.5 lbs) on the 22nd. Ordered an Automation Solutions adjustable sear for it yesterday from Brownells.

Check it out, I pick up the rifle yesterday evening after work. The NICS transaction code for my approval was ****-CZ1!

Something was wrong with the sear, however, as it would not release the striker all of the time after fully cycling the bolt. It worked every time the bolt was lifted then quickly dropped to cock the striker but not all of the time whenever the bolt was pulled back. Examining the sear and striker interface when disassembled didn't show anything out of the ordinary. But, no big deal at the end as I replaced it with the AS sear about 1 hour after I got the gun (which has worked every time).
 
Prep = 1000 .308 Win brass, primer pocket and flash hole
Built = 500 rounds .308 168g Sierra Match
Bought = 1000 rounds SW .40
Ordered = SIG P226 Elite SW .40
Taught = Advanced my Canadian co-worker (gal) from .22 to 9mm

Be safe, BSR
 
Yesterday I placed a bid on GunBroker.com on a CZ 40 B, and twenty minutes later I was notified that i had won the auction with a bid of $220. The pperwork is on its way to the seller in Pennsylvania, and I should have it in my hot little hands next weekend (I hope, I hope).

With a gun show this weekend, I now have a shopping list to fill out, AZoom dummy rounds in .40 S&W, boresnake in .40 S&W, FMJ ammunition, extra mags for the new pistol, holster (I understand a SIG P220/P226 fits). Have to admit, it is cheaper than chasing women. Especially if you catch and release.

Somebody stop me before I bid again!
