What gun stuff did you buy today?

Got my Criterion barrel in today. I can't wait to try it out.

How difficult was it to remove the old barrel and replace with the new barrel? I've got a .308 Savage 10T I'd like to switch to 6.5 Creedmoor.

My first one but it seems pretty straightforward. You need a barrel nut wrench, go and no go gauges, and a barrel vise or jaws.

I rebarreled a 10 FCP-HS to 6.5CM using a Shilen stainless select match barrel last year. The process was straight forward with the proper tools. This reminds me that I need to list the takeoff .308 barrel on eBay...

I probably asked before, but where did you get the Criterion barrel from Orbitup? I got my 6.5 Grendel barrel from Precision Firearms. Had to wait a long time, but Mark Hostetter & their crew are good, good people. I get the impression that they're a small shop, but they know what they're doing. One of the few places I'd go to for a precision AR or parts.

Northland Shooter's Supply is the only place to get Criterian barrels. I've been getting my AR barrels from Ballistic Advantage. I'll check out PF when I'm ready for a 20" 223 Wylde barrel.

Orbitup: Did you go with a 6.5 Creedmoor? I've been thinking I'll go 6.5 CM but maybe 6 CM. Whatever I switch is out for, got either MDT TAC21 stock or LSS XL stock that I picked up cheap during MDT's Black Friday deals.

6.5X47. The old barrel was 6.5 Creedmoor so I probably should have stuck with that but apparently I like to spend money on tools and brass.

 

[ed308]

That Lapua brass ain't cheap. I use it to form my 270AR brass. But great brass.

Check out AR15 Performance. Another small shop that turns out great barrels. I got them in .223 Wylde, 6.8, TAC 6 (6.8 Wildcat), 270AR (6.8 Wildcat), 6.5 CM and .308. They al shoot .5 MOA if I skip the coffee on my way to the range.

Picked up my new (used) Sightmark sm18008 IR night vision scope today. I will try and get it mounted to my new (used) Bushmaster ORC 308 this week. Sighting in can take place next weekend at the range. Ordered a new Magpul ACS carbine stock and pistol grip with oil bottle storage. Ordered a Bog-Pod RLD-3 shooting sticks from Midway as well. Watch out hogs!

.327 Federal dies, Dillon 650 .327 conversion kit, .327 Fed brass. Yesterday I picked up a couple of molds for the .327, small Dillon powder bar, 650 tool head

Blackhawk Serpa CQC holster for the range, my olight pl mini came in, rocket connector for my 19. Holster for my P9, 1000 rds 9mm, 25 more HST, 2 mags, Pearce grip extension and a Glock tool. I shouldn’t be allowed in a gun store on payday.

I think my quest for the perfect trigger is over. The rocket from ghost inc gets rid of the bump in the Glock trigger. It’s a 3.5 connector, and it’s a rolling break

Got myself a Hornady M-1 Tumbler today. On my second batch of 9mm brass right now. I'm gonna have to shoot more as I'm running out of brass to clean.

Lol. Been there, done that. Having a good progressive press runs you out of brass quick. That's a good thing!!!

Ain't that the truth. I either need to shoot a lot of 9mm or get some more brass.

Such a wicked cycle you are in....

Built an AR last week, and lost a couple items that rocketed into God only knows where by the Springs. Fortunately I had an extra set of parts that allowed me to finish.

So I ordered a bunch of AR parts from Primary Arms on Tuesday. I got them in Today's mail. Dang that was fast.

 

[lonestardiver]

Primary arms gets their stuff shipped out in a very timely manner and based on where they are at it is here (DFW area) within 2 days of being shipped.

Placed an order with Precision Reloading and used a Black Friday discount.

Everything showed up pretty quickly but two MTM ammo cases were damaged in shipping.

Sent them an email and picture and they shipped me replacements the same day. No muss, no fuss, just got them out the door.

Pretty happy with that kind of CS. They just got here today.

I built an AR last week using an Anderson lower parts kit, and the hammer had an issue. I could not get the pin through it. Emailed Anderson last Friday, and they sent me a replacement hammer today in the mail.
