AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor. LaRue parts with a Tranquilo suppressor. Maybe a couple years away.
My Governor ran on an anti-assault weapons platform, so when legislation gets introduced I will be buying AR15 receivers for each of my kids and building .300 Blackouts for them.

I went ahead and took a file to the Pachmeyr G10 grips on the D, as the back of the grips has a pronounced lip. Smoothed them right out.Originally Posted by Joe in PNG
I also pulled the sear out of my 92FS(G) so it can act as a training gun. Figure I'm going to go DAO Pizza this summer.

Pizza gun experiment:
Just bought a low mileage 92f. I’ll be doing the Langdon 13# hammer spring and a G kit.
Hoping to find a set of cast off vertec grips to try the poor man’s thin grip before investing in the g10 ultra thins.
Scopes for existing rifles. I cut things lean at the end of '19 and early '20. Then channeled funds away from safe-sitters into fully-kitted pistol and rifle setups. Some of those safe-sitters need scopes back. Not critical, but an old gloss finish Leupold 3.5-10 for my Ruger '06 (I found the 2.5-8x36 just a little tight on that long action) and something like a 3-9 Freedom Rimfire, but with turrets for a target model 10/22.

Not going to lie, something like this is calling my name. If the accuracy is there and I could buy the chassis without anodizing, I'd have to try and find out what SIG used for those rainbow color changing models a few years ago. Get it done up with that finish, add some sparkly unicorn stickers and start messing with the rimfire guys at my club.

Guess I will be building a 6mm ARC upper for my AR to go with my other boutique AR calibers
Long over due AR pistol build. The handguard I ordered came in yesterday so now I need to send it and the upper and lower receivers out for cerakote. Just need to secure a brace, a barrel, and gas block and I will have everything to put it together.
9mm AR pistol.
6.5 PRC Tikka revamp for hunting.
Put a KKM comp/barrel on the G23 for outdoorsy stuff.
So really nothing cool.
I got furloughed the first day of the stay at home order, and I am also getting stuff I had set aside posted up on eBay. I have my first auction ending in a few hours and have a bid for the minimum and six watchers, so maybe it will go a little higher. I forgot that you can delay the start time because Thursday morning is not optimal, but I have two more staged to start Sunday evening.
But what do I plan to do with the money? Will probably just let it filter back into the family budget to replenish the funds I have been spending $50-$100 at a time, mostly on AR and reloading components. I am getting a little more serious about getting the ARs situated the way I want them. Have built up one upper around a barrel I had extra, and the stuff I need to build up another one will show up next week. Then I need a 300BO upper, so I may buy a barrel and initially swap it into one of the 5.56 uppers, till I decide how I want it configured. To facilitate all this screwing around I did up my game in the tool department a bit with a Midwest Upper Receiver Rod and a couple of SLR dimple jigs.
