I built a new steam pot thing for bluing. I will post on that later. I also went through one of the safes (the, not often or won’t need it soon safe) and did maintenance on everything there… Clean, oil, wipe, etc. 2 shotguns, 1 set of barrels and this:
Well another week absent from my safe queens. Just watched plenty of YouTube and thought about getting home and well I guess…giving them a clean until, we can go back out and use them.
Chinese bat virus licks balls.
I was using the same boxes the H ELDM but I managed to get a few more in. Due to the bugging in Prep raising up a level I went for a bigger box. The Lap cases box’s also work well.
In keeping with our history I have also filled a old military can of 223 for the SHTF apocalypse. or plinkfest whatever comes first.
Last week -
I Purchased,
200 x 153gr 6.5 Hornady A-Tip
150 x 500gr 500 S&W FP/XTP
100 x 300ge 50AE Hornady XTP
K&M Arbour Press with pressure gauge
Wilson Micrometer arbor seating die for 6.5CM
I cleaned a bunch of guns. I think I am half way through them. I had my boy ask me about “war guns and this one that his mate used in a game they play” - right, come with me, I think he may have peed a little when we went through some proper education
Went through and did a clean and oil on all of mine today and replaced the dehumidifiers in each of the safes.
Also on the not real firearm related (depending on what state you live in) I knocked together a filler nozzle on the lathe for a Duster gas powered gel blaster glock. Gotta tweak my design a little. Will hopefully work a little better than the plastic ones that come with Butane cans for refilling lighters. Will let me use cheap air duster cans.
Sadly another week of nothing more than wishing I could go and shoot. Poor things have been in isolation in the safe for the last four weeks. Two more weeks at work and then home. Still, consider myself lucky to be still working.
Hope everyone is keeping well.
Very little, my trip to the Cape got the formal “Not happening” which I have been expecting for some weeks… sounds like there may be no hunting trips this year.
took the buggy and the boy for a quick lap of the neighbours property looking for foxes but came up empty handed
