Why so quiet around here

I think another reason why the chatter is low right now... not a ton of new stuff on the market. Anything new just seems to be, now offering it in MLOK! More Lumens! Or a ton of sale posts.

Admittedly I'm getting bored with firearms myself, since most of my bucket list is scratched off.

I'm definitely not bored with firearms. But i am pretty bored with what's "new" on the market. Metric shit-tons of aftermarket Glock parts, AR parts that offer no functional advantage, and pistol caliber ARs just don't do it for me. I still have a pretty long wish list of things i want, but there isn't much on that list that's new by any stretch. And a lot of the stuff i really want has been out of production for decades and is becoming pretty scarce and very expensive. My work schedule keeps me pretty busy too, but i still log in and read when i have the time. And considering i don't go on facebook anymore, this is still my favorite place to hang out online and talk guns.

Pretty much in the same boat and mindset... plus away from home a lot does not help things out. I'm more or less focusing on collecting parts I need for some long term builds, and wrapping up old projects. My collection is also more or less wrapped up, as I have most stuff that I want and the remaining stuff I want are out of production and don't come up for sale very often. Have also been focusing on working on 1911's and more competitive shooting stuff.

I love working on and tinkering with guns as much as i do shooting them. A 1911 or AK47 build class would be a lot of fun. Really any armorer or gunsmith learning opportunities would be. Building a (functional) HK type roller delayed blowback gun from a receiver flat and parts kit is a goal. I guess i should start parking the car on the street and turn the garage into a shop. Competitive shooting is something else i'd like to be more involved in, but working weekends kind of puts a damper on that.
