Well I just picked up another good one at my favorite local gun shop. Anyone know what these are selling for now days? 
I found a Thompson 1927a3 that was made in 1980 based on serial number. This thing was very dirty so I was worried about it running. Dealer ran a mag thought it out in the bullet trap. I took it home and fired a mag and could not figure out why I could not hit anything.
I took it home and started cleaning it up since it was so dirty. I have not noticed that the
Cutts was plugged up. Well 2 of the slots were completely plugged and had a cone shape in the direction of bullet travel. I pulled the compensator which was so plugged that I am shocked the bullets were actually making it through. With a chisel and hammer I went to town on the lead build up. Of the lead I could recover I got 275 grs, I am guessing there was closer to 300 grs total.
The only real problem with this gun is the finish on the bbl is wearing off. It is not scratched, or flaking but is just discolored for some reason. This gun is very light and I am guessing most of it is made of aluminum. Is there any good way to fix this. I am not sure if I want to refinish this gun since only about 4500 were ever made.0 -

Found a new toy today. The local smith brought out a Remington XP100R in .223 that had been made into a rifle. It has a synthetic stock, 2 inch muzzle brake, and a very nice trigger in it. Also on the shelf in the "used" section found a nice weaver 4X16X42. All in all, I am looking forward to going to the range tomorrow.

I always wanted a Henry Golden Boy and i always wanted a .17 HMR rifle, so now i have the best of both worlds, a Golden Boy in .17 HMR!
Just picked it up today!0 -
Installed a matchweight (new in wrapper shipped for $162.50 off ebay)on my old USP
I have a match trigger on order, and a Jarvis 6.02" ported barrel is being cut. I woun't be shooting it with the weight on and the short barrel, but just had to post it cause I'm so thrilled with the deal on the weight.0 -
After Three (3) years, yes three! Last week I bought a 1895 Cowboy 45-70[:D].
Already went to the range.
Turns big things into MANY little things; pumpkins, watermelons, gallon water jugs... [:p]
Amazing what a 360gr bullet does to objects.
Love the new toy, wife is even a little impressed, so are her two (2) boys. Been taking them to the range with me. Teaching the oldest about reloading[:)] trying to keep the art of reloading going. He might even be as good as me in ten or twenty years (bragging just a little).
Hope everyones week was a good as mine!

stopped by the pawnshop on the way home yesterday and found a remington 890 express youth 20 ga mag, wood stock in very nice shape. i couldnt turn it down. with tax and all it was $160. it has the 20 inch barrel, and the youth stock, but it still fits me nicely (6', 200lb). im thinking of keeping it behind the seat in my ranger as a truck gun. 0 -
Well, Momma let me buy my own Christmas gift this year so I'm the proud owner of a Suomi SMG kit, a Yugo AK47 kit, and a Romanian AK47 kit.
The Romanian looks like it's never even had a round chambered. Not even a scratch on the bolt or rails, with laminated stock.
I just can't get enough of these. Kind of a disease, I guess.
Now to start making receivers.

This is my step daughter with my newest toy.
Savage 110, 22-250. Older rifle but apparently still shoots well. Two shots touching at 50 yards. I didn't have much time and the snow was over three feet deep at the range. I had to walk over 100 yards through it just to get to the shooting house. Once there, I REALLY didn't feel like walking back and forth to the 100 yard berm checking targets. So, I just settled for 1/2" low at 50 yards for now. I'll check the ballistics program to see where that puts me out farther.
I couldn't stand for the rifle to just sit there, staring at me, wanting to know when I was taking it out.
All in all, a fun way to spend a payed day off![:D]
Mental note: GET A SPOTTING SCOPE!0 -
Yep! really didnt need this one [:o)]but the wood was so purty, I couldnt let it go. My friend had this remington 1100 Trap T, and because of that purty wood I bought it..
Hard to keep out the glare..
