Ok, time to gloat, what did y'all get for Christmas? My lovely wife gave me a Wheeler Fat Wrench and a FA tumbler. :0)

Got a gun butler, some rimfire targets and a butchering kit
I sort of treated myself through all of the various Christmas specials: a new AR pistol with a 7.5” PSA upper, Anderson lower/parts kit, Magpul AFG hand stop, Hogue grip, SBA4 brace, Sig flip ups, and a Sig Romeo 5. Spent the morning installing the lower parts.
I have a complete 10.5” Radical upper in 7.62x39 on the way to share the lower build.

A while ago, a friend asked me to sell a 1947 "Long Action" M&P .38 revolver for him. I put it up for consignment and it sold for a decent price.
So, I had the pleasure of going to his house yesterday and handing him the money. He lives on disability and certainly needs the cash.
What was my Christmas haul?
That was it.

Well, the peace and quiet this morning to appreciate my coffee at my own pace is a gift beyond measure.
This came in not long ago, and I'm still enjoying it.
May have to ask me again on Sunday, as there's a gun show in Fort Worth this Saturday. Ought to be an interesting mix of people either flush or busted.

MIL got me a target base. Would have gotten an AR500 silhouette to go with it, except she forgot to order it. She compensated by making a gift certificate, saying it would be late. Then she lost that. Said maybe it was a sign that I shouldn't have it.

I bought myself less debt, and a couple of cheap pocket knives (lose them too quickly to buy expensive pocket knives anymore).... Early next year. I'll probably buy myself a new gun though, so we'll just say that's Christmas present also......

Birthday was a week ago so combined I got a tabletop lathe for the purpose of doing some minor work on barrels and making some small parts. Along with the basic machine I got a bunch of gift cards which are going to flush out the lathe setup with additional tooling and a milling attachment for the cross slide so I can use it as a horizontal mill. I’ll order the milling attachment, some more endmills, some drill rod blanks, and some cheap material to practice on before I start cutting stuff I want to keep.
Long term goal is to get well enough acquainted with the setup to turn my 10-6 into a PPC sort of gun with a long heavy barrel, much better sighting setup, and then hopefully find another beater K frame to do a similar build on but in 32 long or 32 mag using a 30cal rifle barrel blank so I can use better bullets and try for more extreme accuracy and a bit higher pressure without worrying about the forcing cone. At some point along the way I also intend to build a couple barrel stubs for my contenders and do something interesting with them. The 32long idea likely would work better in that platform, but I really want a k32.

It's a cool gift and I hope you have fun with it. If you have any guns that currently shoot well and make you happy, don't stick that scope down the barrel. Makes you start to question things when you see chatter or inconsistent rifling. Some things are just best left unseen.

A set of Walker electronic ear muffs. Should make working at the range more pleasurable being able to talk to people more easily.

Two boxes of Fiocchi Cowboy Load 32S&W Long
On Black Friday Academy had Blazer Brass on sale $12.99 for 50 rounds. A couple of weeks later it went up to $14.99 for 50. For around here that is a decent price for in the store. Between Black Friday & now I have been buying a couple hundred rounds every time I go in. I probably should have just bought 1000 rounds on the first trip.

Unfortunately my hints never land, I have to shop for myself. My wife and kids try though, that's all that counts.
