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

Oct 7, 2021, I ordered a Winchester 1886 lever gun chambered in 45-90. I have a Winchester “sharps” in the same caliber. I ordered the same lever gun from the same distributor, Cabella’s, in August. The same day I got an acknowledgement of my order. The next day, a new email informed me that they were processing my order. The following day their emailed popped my balloon by cancelling my order due to “out of stock.” The same order of events was playing out on my October order, but in addition to “we are working on your order,” a subsequent email informed me it was shipping from Idaho and should arrive in 3-5 days!!! I must still be background checked and wait 10 days in the brilliant state of Washington and I may die before I buy/reload ammo for it, but I can’t get the big grin off my face. Then I looked on E-bay for a stock butt ammo pouch (had to be all natural materials) no Velcro/elastic/zippers Tyvm for me and watched what I wanted sell out before I could complete my order. It was hand made by an Australian company, OP Original People, and I will haunt this site daily until that sleeve is back in stock. Expect pix when this project all comes together but the discerning viewers will notice the ammo is faked. I’ve had 45-90 brass on back order from starline since July and ditto 45-90 ammo in any bullet, HBP or smokeless, cowboy or modern loads as well. Just today I checked a dozen sites for large rifle primers, riiiight, and dont get me started on dies. Got a single-turret RCBS set up which may never see this caliber if my luck doesn’t change! Thanks so much for staying with me in this long-winded brag/whine. So here’s the prayer: know any one with 45-90 dies? I’d offer myself for various crimes in partial payment but I’d be bluffing cuz I’m too old for that. This is a great thread. See you again, soon I hope.

Chest rig for my daughter.

Next up, another AKM

 

This, they are the smoothest holsters I have ever used, and don't do as much wear on the finish as most other brands. They also have a small red X on the side, which looks cool:

Finally found this front band screw for this Revelation model 200-M.

 

Via midway free shipping.

50 rounds of Fiochi 9, plus 40 rnd pmag and 33 rnd Glock mag for my spare pile. Last high capacity mag purchases I believe I’ll need to make for quite awhile. I could have totally done without the 40, really wanted the Glock mag and the 9mm but you have to buy a certain amount for them to cover shipping.

 

I couldn’t resist the Midway deal on my favorite Acog model - TA11 3.5x with a .308 green chevron.

 

I ordered 500 Xtreme 158gr RNFP bullets which should arrive today so I can afford to continue shooting without paying rediculous prices for 357/38 ammo.

 

A great shape used Springfield Armory 9mm Range Officer. Now I need the powers that be to get my permit application done so I can bring it home. stock photo for now.

 

I bought a 2 1/2 inch barrel & shroud from CZ USA for a DW Model 15-2 yesterday. I've been itching for another revolver so I took the cheaper way out giving me a snub option for the DW. EDIT: CZ and Fed Ex did a great job delivering the DW barrel today. Can't wait to try it out at the range.

 

Really big purchase, a HKS speed loader in 22-J for my Smith 63 which I'm detailing the correction of Bangor-Punta crappy manufacturing in the seventies. $9.75

 

Dog booties for me GSP for Chukar hunting (I know its a stretch as far as being gun related....)

 

A few boxes of 7.62X51 from the local Wal-Mart. Odd since their gun department is basically non-existent here. Because NM passed a law for transfers on all sales Wal-Mart quit selling guns so no one would bring one in for a transfer (they said they did not want to train their people to do it! More likely they could not train them even if management could figure it out). Consequently they no longer sell guns and very little ammo.

 

107 rounds of once fired 8x57 brass....

 

No. Which does puzzle me.

 

More ammo, more lowers, more parts & a 10/22

 

Yup.

4 piece$ of Lyman super-moly bullet lube. (Gotta go on a different route here as that could add almost a penny to the price of lubersizing a bullet!! LOL)
2 Lee universal de-priming pins (just in case, you know. )
Another barrel bushing wrench. (Needed another in the shop so I am not chasing another down)
A Lyman sizing die @.452 with the Lee six cavity 452-255-RF mold. (Dummy* forgot to order handles!)
2 boxes of fifty Hornady FTX 325 grain bullets for son's 45-70 load work-up along with a Hornady seater stem for those said bullets.

* That would be me............

Use care
out there!

B.L.

 

2 (50 round) boxes of 10mm from Bulk ammo.

 

How about a gun last Monday? No picture but a Taylor & Company SAA in 44 mag. It will be neutered down to 44 Special loads. If and when the wind ever slacks off I will go shoot it and take a picture or two.
