Love shooting those heavy barreled Ruger's, like the MKIII, .22's but they are a pain in the ass to work on, IMHO.[:D]

I dubbed a Recce 5 and two Omega 9K’s my Christmas presents this year. But even Santa can’t get them under the tree by Chrismas.

I had planned on a new rifle, but all the funds went to pay my daughter's college tuition. No new gun for Rico. :(

Ruger 22/45 Tactical

NICE!!! I have requested the MKIII 22/45 lower frame for Christmas. Volquartsen is awesome. I plan to pair it with a 4" Tactical Solutions threaded barrel.

I bought myself an AR-10 to build. Too bad I won't have the ADM set to put under the tree.

Nothing’s super tragic. Had a hole in my eardrum and once they went in it was way worse than they thought. I’ve been down for a while. Had to reconstruct and eardrum, still out the ear canal and re shape one of the small bones in the inner ear. I would have lost my hearing completely if I didn’t have this done. I’m on the long slow road to recovery now

Having your hearing is probably the best thing listed in this thread. But what a drama to get it! I thought maybe Rudolph was in test flight and clipped you.

On a lesser note, I visited my sandman-k in jail today.

Haha this is true! Nah if it was Rudolph he’d be mounted in the living room haha, speaking of keeping your hearing can’t beat seeing a can in NFA jail


Take your time and heal well, brother.
Will do! I appreciate the much love here guys!

I've had a few "rough patches" in my life, so I can truly empathize. Keep pushing, though, it'll work it's way out and things will get smoother[:)]

The compact Timberwolf frame with the purple magwell is from Black Friday; the full-size gray frame is my Christmas present to me.

That is awesome. So it actually has the weight of money!

Stone
2 January 2018, 20:21
Yep, it is real money. Unlike a fiat currency like the dollar it will always hold its value. Makes for a great insurance policy or retirement fund. I am a big fan of hard assets like PM's and land...

That is smart.

My PM is lead. But I do need to branch out to Silver as well.

Hahaha. I was maxed out on lead a few years back so I switched to silver.

Found this at the LGS with everything as pictured for $900. Someone spent a lot of money on it but had poor taste, it needed saving.😂 Gonna get a new frame for it and let the Warhogs, BattleCock and Axlnut work their magic on it. Also gonna have it milled for my RM07. Hope you are doing OK Farva.
