CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[patience0830]

Of course CZ97 B's seem to be right up there with unobtainium at the moment.

Sorry, Reed. I probably owe you a favor or even two but you can't buy my 97.

Ok. But you gotta outlive me.

You sure you want to say that to a guy you want to teach you to tree climb with a chainsaw?

Mouse told me about the Wizards post. We are sad.

Yeah. Me too. Thinking of the good days we managed to have. And the good times here that he caused.

Wow, today was probably the longest non-xGE range trip I’ve had. Maybe longest. Shootapalooza runs all day too.

I ran 50 rounds through the 716 using the Christensen break in methodology which is 2 3 shot groups, then clean and repeat for 50 rounds. In the end, I was able to pull a nice group that was probably sub-MOA but the optic needs dialed in with proper ammo. The break in procedure was done using some FMJ M80 ammo that did not impress with accuracy. It will be fun to run the rest of this on the steel at 200 yards but I’d never trust it beyond that. The last bit of ammo run was some high end stuff that I picked up off of Tarzan. At the end of the day, I had run 60 rounds through the new rifle in 3 hours with lots and lots of cleaning happening between them.

I came home to find the Magpul bipod had arrived, so this will warrant another range trip to play with that. Overall, I’m quite happy with the 716. I did not put the optic through it’s paces and can only say that using it as a standard optic workers quite nicely.

I also had a chance to run the Sig P226 after the GG trigger upgrade and am quite happy with the results.

Best part of the day was getting to spend several hours with Czickoos. I really needed a day like this and am quite happy to have been able to spend it with friends.

Glad you had a good time. Bummed I was stuck at home and my HVAC guy never even showed...

Yeah. Me too. Thinking of the good days we managed to have. And the good times here that he caused.

Amen.

Oh and good morning all...

GM all. Turkeys back to school today. Up early for waffles and blueberries. And coffee.

Extra coffee. Or die.

A magwell vise block is an invaluable tool for working on your AR15. The problem is ... different AR manufacturers build magazine wells to different...

Thanks RR. I’ll start hunting for an AR10 sized block as well as the prop rod

OK you bunch of SIGo's

WTS: - Sig Sauer P220 stainless elite chambered in 10mm (NWI)

Sig Sauer P220 stainless elite chambered in 10mm excellent condition less than 600 rounds through it comes with 6 mags, a TLR8A, and two IWB holsters all for only $1450 great deal don't miss out!

I’ve looked at that one many times. It’s the best way into a 10mm Sig right now and would need nothing other than to be enjoyed. Unfortunately, I put the money that could have been used there into the AR10.

Morning Gents.

Wizard, Please let BA know he is in our prayers. I hate cancer, I lost two grandmothers to it.

I stopped in at Badger Creek this weekend. They had a few nice 1911s, but they were either in 10mm or 45, and that is not a caliber I currently use. I don't think getting into a new caliber right now is smart. When ammo is more plentiful, then I can look into getting into another caliber, and start stocking up on it. If they had had a 9mm, I might have walked out with one. Though I still think I want to build one, like I did the AR.

My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and in the past, I took the day off and indulged myself by spending the day at the range. If it coincided with a weekend, I’d squeeze as many as 5 range trips into the 3 days and Shootapalooza was born.

I am sad that this year, there will be no Shootapalooza even though the birthday is on a Monday. I will still take the day off and head to the range but I probably won’t burn through more than 100 rounds.

First world problems, right?

I am of the opposite mind in caliber selection. I like the idea of diversifying my calibers so whatever ammo comes available, I have something to shoot it with. Last month, I ordered a box of Nagant revolver ammo because it was all that was available and I can shoot it. A couple months before that, I picked up a case of M1 Carbine ammo for a reasonable price.

Diversifying calibers keeps your options open. 9mm supplies will be tight for a good while as supplies try to meet the massive demand but there are still some odd calibers on store shelves. When we needed some .303 Brit for an Enfield, I had 3 brands to choose from at my LGS

Met gregkl this morning. He brought the Leupold glass he was selling up to the mouse compound. Shared good conversation over a cup and I have a new to me optic for the current AR project taking up the bench.

Ah, so you're the one who picked that up. I was not the mouse who got the cheese on that.

I'm going to have to agree with 88 on caliber diversification. It seems easy to save a lot of money if buying one caliber in bulk during non-hectic times. But having a gun for any ammo on the shelf would be useful.

Upcoming weekend should be the first totally free weekend in a couple months. I think it'll be time to take the time to operate on my P-09. First cajunizing experience. Hopefully will also set up my vise onto the bench for some various vise-needed gun surgeries.
