[titanse05]

I purchased 2k bullets from Xtreme Bullets on Friday and that's it. Hope to score some deals tomorrow though.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4

[camomike]

Grabbed a NIB bcg for my sister for her build.

And non fire arm related grabbed a new 24" Asus 1 ms 144htz monitor.

[CarbonScoring]

Geissele 9.5" Mk4 (sand)

BCM KAG (not actually on sale, it was the sale priced BCM hats that got me to buy)

VTAC sling

Jane's Addiction - Live in NYC (24-bit digital download) [:D]

[Dstrbdmedic167]

And non fire arm related grabbed a new 24" Asus 1 ms 144htz monitor.

Nice screen! I should have got that instead of the 27" 120hz 2ms screen (VE278Q) still love it though.

[Computalotapus]

Everything I got was non-firearms related and all for the kids and wife. After Christmas is over I will spoil myself and finish up the AR-47 build and just maybe then I will start the .308 build

Now you're talking. Starting that .308 build will be fun.

[camomike]

..... just maybe then I will start the .308 build

Good, then I can pay attention. That way I won't screw up the set I'm building for my dad [BD]

Currently getting an education on parts and compatibility myself. Learning similar, but not the same everywhere I go....

[Uffdaphil]

Got a Burris 1.5-8x28 yesterday. Debated overnight then went back for a Vortex 2.5-10x32. Today. One will go with the Ballistic Advantage 17.7" SS barrel I also bought - only 30oz!. The other on a BCM SS410 16" upper I got on a forum.

I'm a serial "buy once, cry once" offender.

[RiverRat]

Kept telling myself I didn't need much. Ended up getting

an SWFA 1-4x scope.
a case Wolf Gold. As long as .223 stays under $300 delivered, I'll keep buying 1-2K chunks.

Non-firearm
another 1TB portable hard drive for photo backup on trips.
40-150 mm lens for an OM-D E-M10 mirrorless camera.

Contemplated the SWFA 1-4x24 for a day or so, then realized that I don't need another 1-4, and I don't care for MilDot.

Interested to see what your thoughts are on the SWFA. I'm assuming you got the new one for $299 ?

[six8]

Mepro 21. Steel target and stand. Fortis T1 mount. SF 6px Defender (honkin bad ass light imo)

Yeah the compatibility issus on .308 was a pretty decent learning experience.

[Pyzik]

Primary Arms - LPK, Buffer Kit, CTR - $125

Red Barn Armory - 10.5 upper kit - $199

[Ride4frnt]

I got nothing gun related, I made myself promise not to.

I bought my nephew a few books and his first soccer ball.

I picked up lone survivor for myself because it was 4 bucks

And my big ticket items were the nearly $200 Phillips Norelco razor that I paid $40 for

And salon quality blow dryer and curling iron for my girlfriend.

And if it counts as a Black Friday purchase just because I bought it on Friday, I got some groceries too.

[RiverRat]

Interested to see what your thoughts are on the SWFA. I'm assuming you got the new one for $299 ?

Yeah, that's the one.

I've been bad about not getting photos and reviews done for the forum (like that San Tan lower, which I've almost used enough to feel OK about writing up now).

I'll try to get something done for the SWFA fairly quick, especially since it's a new-to-market piece.

[Thompson]

Didn't get too much with limited funds - AR-15/M-16 Buttstock cleaning kit, Hoppes boresnake, CAT M4 (my stuff).

... would have liked to pick up some cheap BCG's.

The bulk of the funds went towards Christmas gifts ...
Person of Interest Season 3 - BluRay, Magpul iPhone 5 bump case, iPad 2 Air case, amongst a few other things.

Speaking of which, how bout dem apples: Americans Bought Guns at a Record-Setting Clip on Black Friday — Wait Until You Read How Fast the FBI Was Getting Background Check Requests (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/11/29/so-many-guns-were-sold-on-black-friday-that-the-fbi-was-processing-three-background-checks-every-second/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=story&utm_campaign=ShareButtons)

[Pyzik]

Oh, also got an XMR for $10.

Really wish I could have gotten another optic. But was pushing it with what I did get.

[Guinnesseb]

Nothing gun related myself aside from a new streamlight polytac for myself. My daughter got all my money... New bike, play doh out the wazoo, a bunch of playmobile toys and a bunch of other small stuff.

Maybe I'll find something gun related tomorrow.

[SwissyJim]

a few morale patches for my budding addiction
2x SilencerCo Specwar 5.56 brakes (buy one get one!)

And it stopped cold after a doctors report on my wife's needed oral surgery :( Had other things I wanted to get, like the SWFA 1-4 but oh well.

[Thompson]

Meh - Godzilla was okay. Not sure if it was the viewing screen, but a lot of the movie was dark to the point I literally could not tell what was going on.

Jim - that stinks. Sorry to hear. Something minor, I'm hoping?

[WHSmithIV]

I got nothing. No money to spend on buying anything. Hopefully this coming week I'll get the barrel for my pistol and possibly the muzzle brake too. Have to find out what wrong with my wife's eyes first. She comes before guns.

[toolboxluis00200]

hope eve thing works out for your wife

If your barrel is threaded 5 /8 x 24 I'll send you a muzzle brake.

[gatordev]

Wife got me a Braun Series 7 Razor


Seriously, man...this is getting weird. My Braun 54xx is dying and I've been looking at the 5 series. Are you sure you don't stalk my Amazon wish lists?


CAT M4 (my stuff).



Okay, Thompson, I gotta give you the business about this one... When are you going to use that CAT M4 if you're not going to clean your rifle for several thousand rounds? I keed!

[ej bognear]

Got the wifey a camera

eh... my wife is a walking health disaster. 7 years of Lyme disease eating away at her joints and we can't eradicate it completely. So far she's had total joint replacements of both jaw joints and both knees. Now a 2nd tooth cracked while eating chicken noodle soup - she's waiting for an implant for the first tooth and now this one went. Going to have to have it done the same way too it looks like. Cool thing is her frontal head XRay makes her look like the Terminator...

My brother from another mother...

I've been eyeing that Braun Series 7 for awhile. After Amazon dropped it to $150, it was time to pull the trigger. I've had 7680 Braun for over 12 years. Still gives a great shave, as long as you change out the foil and cutter every 18 months as they suggest. However, I've finally noticed that the battery life is dropping fast. Not to be unexpected after over a decade of use. I hope to get another 10-12 years out of this one.

You'll have to share the rest of your Amazon wish list, mine is actually empty for now.... well except for a 128 GB SD Card.

[Stone]

Got a Geissle SSA and a tactical link Gen2 360 sling mount, so far...

[Pyzik]

Something the wife bought me that I know about, a Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph watch. Not the high end I have been eyeballing but a middle of the road that is quite nice that I'll be happy with for now.

Not for everyone... we're one the 5th different treatment protocol, and nothing has cleared it 100% - not the antibiotics, not the ACS, Crowdens, nothing so far. It keeps returning after each.

But this is a BF pickup thread, so lets stick to that.

Yeah, right on. Practice what you preach dude. You keep side tracking threads then correct people when they respond to you. WTF?

Maybe he doesn't want to talk in depth about those medical issues?

[eldogg]

1 lb. of unique powder.

[Dstrbdmedic167]

How about Christmas gifts bought recently? I got a Boker Plus Anti-Mc for the wife to give me and I have some awesome holsters being made by infinity holsters!

[SwissyJim]

Yeah, right on. Practice what you preach dude. You keep side tracking threads then correct people when they respond to you. WTF?

I replied to your post (and others) as I don't believe in letting someone who is being helpful go unanswered, or maybe add a comment here and there in the gist of the thread. But if the thread has a different subject, I TRY to keep my posts to as few as possible and keep the subject going. No preaching, no snarkiness - sorry if you think so, but oh well. Can't please everyone I guess.

And UWone is right... not interested in going indepth on medical info. Since others made comments, I replied but have done more than I should.

Happy CybeMonday hunting

Hey man, it will surely come in hand after the torture test period [:D]. Besides, it was $5 off - which almost covered the entire cost of shipping [:D]

[Dstrbdmedic167]

For the record I love my CAT tool!

[WHSmithIV]

I'd prefer if people keep their medical issues to themselves. Political stuff, religious stuff and medical stuff is not what this forum about. There are other forums for that stuff

Cheap Ar-15 barrel from primary arms $65

[Gaspipeshooter]

2,000 rounds of .223 Wolf Gold ammo to burn up at the range...

[ksenter]

my LGS (TGD Firearms, Pensacola, FL) had the Smith & Wesson Shields on sale for $300 OTD. I picked up a 9mm shield and 4 Anderson lowers at $50ea OTD.

Monday of last week ordered 3 "Freedom Rifle Kit" from PSA. My father would like 3 AR's for his boys for Christmas (heart attack got him scared he wont be around for long). Gave me a $1500 budget, $500ea obviously. The Freedom Rifle Kit includes a SS barrel of 1/7 twist, m4 feed ramps, mid-length gas, m16 carrier with C158 bolt that has been MPI/HPT, CH, LPK, stock kit, all inclusive excluding lower.

Lower Receiver $50
PSA AR Rifle Kit $399 + shipping

That will leave me approx $35-$40 each to finish within budget.

Hoping to be able to find rear sights and mags so my brothers can shoot their rifles on Christmas day. Where I already have 4, they have never owned one. I'm very excited for them.

[ksenter]

as to why there are 4 (I just realized I didnt explain)...

I put a poly NFA lower under a Chiappa.22lr upper and it hasnt ran right since. I'm replacing the lower after the holidays. I will need a LPK to get the deal done. No rush.

Magpul rear sights for $35each (https://www.primaryarms.com/MagPul_MBUS_Gen_2_FlipUp_Rear_Sight_Black_p/mag248blk.htm)

[ksenter]

^ best price I've EVER seen. Good lookin out!!

[SpydrMan]

Picked up an FN cold hammer forged 16" mid barrel and a troy low pro gas block to finish up my spikes build.

Also picked up a couple ipad mini's, a LG soundbar, and a truckload of toys. Most are gifts, but one of the iPads and the soundbar are for me 😊

[camomike]

No problem. They also have them in FDE for the same price. Fronts are 20 something.

[Thompson]

2,000 rounds of .223 Wolf Gold ammo to burn up at the range...
... still considering whether or not to add you to my hit list ...

I'm just saying there better still be some lying around whenever I go to grab some :P

[DutyUse]

Seen that Primary Arms has Troy battle mags for 7$ each. Anyone have experience with them positive or negative?

Can never have to many good mags

[MonkeyBomb]

I probably spent too much on Black Friday deals. I didn't make any big purchases but plenty of small ones. I'm just listing the weapons related stuff here.

BCM Upper receiver

BCM Battle Gun Fighter Grip

Troy folding rear battle sight

PRI Barrel Nut Wrench

MagPul Front MBUS

O-light M21-X-L2

Electronic hearing protection for my wife.

[Soisauss]

yeah, didn't buy much as I didn't see any that truly enticed me.

Did pick up those magpul buis as they're about as good as price goes wise.

[mustangfreek]

Couple pairs of mechanix gloves for $5 a piece...and a couple 100 ft pieces of paracord...weeeeeeee

Thanks again for the link.

Had a couple, ran several thousand rounds through them. Never had an issue. Troy sent me some free mags with an order once, when they first came out. They were doing that for awhile to get their product out there. Not that I've looked hard or often, but I don't recall anyone having issues with the Troy Mags.

[Gaspipeshooter]

Been there done that. While it's hell to go through, in the end hopefully everyone come out happier. I've counseled more than one friend through it.

[tact]

Bought parts for 2 complete builds....5.56 and 300

[gatordev]

A big shout out to Tactical Distributors. In the past, I've only dealt with EDS (and their lovely rep that comes to visit) on the .mil side, but this was my first commercial purchase from them and it was a great experience. Thanks to their sale, I nabbed a 1720 case for less than what I was finding on Amazon, even with shipping, and to top it off, they shipped it Next-Day.

[JoshAston]

LWRC UC stock kit, was the only thing I found a good deal on that I really wanted. Lots of other good deals, just nothing I was looking for.

[din]

Only a handful of new ETM s and AR mags from Wilson, a couple new pair of Vertx pants, and a pair of Danner Recons, but it's all pretty much work related. No funnecessary spending.

[Diazm50]

Went on a mini shopping spree at Primary Arms. Picked up 3 Radical Firearms barrels, 3 Seekins mid-length gas tube and a Troy Medieval. They had some awesome deals

[SickMAK90]

Got a meprolight tru-dot rds but I'm considering canceling the order...

Congrats on retirement. I hope I make it there in good health, surrounded by many firearms. [:D]

How are you liking it? The stt or Strandhogg has been on my need list for awhile now

As of right now all I have done is put my plates in it and put it on and ran (mostly walked and jogged) a mile. I need to adjust it so it fits better but it’s very comfortable out of the box. My plates (AR500 plates) don’t seem to fit all the way into the plate pocket. Not sure if that’s because its designed to accept the swimmers cut style plates and mine are only the shooters cut or what. But i plan to add shoulder pads, the stock ones are surprisingly comfortable for the padding they have or lack thereof. i might also add the SKD pontoons. I was surprised at how small it was. I’m a decently big guy, 6'2" 240lbs with I believe a 48" chest if I remember my measurements, and it looks like a child’s plaything on me but its supposed to be a minimal type carrier. I too desperately wanted a Strandhogg and the price point made it hard to pull the trigger on. So i figured if I liked this one enough I would entertain the idea more of the strandhogg for a duty carrier for active shooter type situations. That’s all I got as of now until i get it rigged up and go out and play in it but im ultimately satisfied with it.

Have you tried donning it quickly under simulated stress? I have a suspicion the tubes system would aid tremendously compared to the old velcro crap.

I'm surprised a shooters cut isn't a perfect fit. I thought the FirstSpear stuff was designed for a medium esapi? I've never used ar500 but was under the impression they mimicked a medium plate in dimensions.

Either way good score!

I haven't tried too quickly as I'm still learning with it. Those plates are heavy! The STT is a pretty snug fit in the plate pocket not so much the width it's the cut if that makes sense. Up towards the should area is where there seems to be some play. I'll see if I can get some pictures.

Not gun related but got a Note 4. Browsing and typing is so much easier.

Really want to root it.

I'm gonna get a rock chucker to add to the bench as well, and the neighbor has a Dillon rl550

[Pyzik]

That's gonna be a nice set up.

I need to get a reloader. Why I don't yet is beyond me.
