Matched Set

It's an acquisition that I've been planning for a long time and I was finally able to make it. I really like the concept of a pistol and carbine in the same caliber. I've had the Rossi 92 Trapper in .357 for quite a while but other projects have kept me from getting the pistol. That changed a couple of weeks ago when I picked up a S&W 686 4". I added some Kim Ahrends Retro Target Grips in Moradillo wood and polished everything up a bit. I like the way they turned out.

Jessica Got Her Butt Done

As you may know, I named my AR pistol Jessica. It seemed like she needed to have her butt re-done , so I decided to take advantage of the BEE AY TEE EF ruling regarding SIG TAC arm braces being just that, arm braces. I think she looks better with a little junk in the trunk...

I Love it When a Plan Comes Together

I have been working for over a year to create the quietest rifle I can, to help That Guy eradicate the hog problem on his deer lease. Although it doesn't offer a high rate of fire, it is certainly very, very quiet.

Judge for yourself...

Griptastic Suppressor Cover

Bowers Group makes their Griptastic suppressor covers to protect your hands and reduce heat mirage. I'm very pleased and strongly recommend them.

YHM 7.62 QD First Shoot

That Guy and I decided to go to Red's at lunch to try out my new can. Works Great!! Can't wait to shoot it outdoors!!

Finally...

It's been 11 months since I made the purchase, 8 months since I went pending but finally...I have a stamp!!! Picked up my can today and made a dozen copies of the stamp and put them everywhere. Thinking about getting a tattoo of the damned thing 😜.

Jessica

I call her Jessica, after Jessica Rabbit. She's not bad, she's just built that way.

GARP (Something AR Pistol)

So, I finally collected all the pieces for the AR Pistol lower. That Guy helped me put it together but it looked a little plain. Fortunately, AR15.COM has a great thread about coloring the roll marks in the AR platform. I used Elmer's Painter's Pens and Hoppe's No. 9. I'm inspired to do my other toys but not today.

Mmm

About a month ago, I bought a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker (they were practically giving them away). Since then I have made several sorbets and a couple of ice creams. Caramel Habanero ice cream was a hit but this week was a truly adult creation...Bourbon ice cream with bacon bark. I like this hobby...

The Walking (And Talking) Dead

I'm a HUGE fan of BLR...Bad Lip Reading. It actually makes politics more interesting. Well, they gave scenes from The Walking Dead the BLR treatment and it brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy!!
