Has to be done.

I really hate those words, unless they're being applied to a bunch of lead that has to be sent downrange

I promised to get this done long ago. It is well past my allotment of time for this one.
It pleases the spouse to no end. She has been so patient with me.

I am sitting on 3 guns in .22
The GSG that is a trainer.
The savage bolt rifle that will be used to train my G-daughters when the step past the Crickets.
The Anshuts ABR that is just an amazing shooter.
All 3 of these are set up to be suppressor hosts when the stamps start rolling in.

I'm sitting on 3 currently as well, all rifles.
10/22 that is set up as my LTR, can't ever get rid of it as it was my first firearm.
Henry which is currently on the block, serves only as fun plinker.
American bolt which is my scoped critter rifle and precision trainer.

I'd like to keep all 3 and just add a pistol. We'll see how that goes, everytime I post one up for sale I start to have second thoughts... Just seeing it up there all nekked like that, brings a tear to my eye.

Looking forward to meeting my buddy at the range. He's the one who recently got into guns. He bought a Shield a month ago and didn't like the trigger. I told him to get an Apex FSS kit and have it installed, plus Truglo TFX sights, which he did. He loves the gun now. I'm looking forward to shooting it, as I've only shot a Shield with an Apex trigger kit installed once and I can't recall if it was the FSS or DCAEK. Need to see if I should start saving my pennies up for the same upgrade (have already upgraded my sights to Trijicon HD). He also just bought a Walther PPQ yesterday and I'm looking forward to running some rounds through it. I miss my PPQ and even though I don't need one, have been thinking about getting another one...

I saw the Henry....

Oh man. She's a sweetheart. Brings out my inner cowboy. I don't know if I can actually let it go...

Yeah, I got rid of mine because I need cash at the time. Kicking myself now

 

[RustyHornet]

Selling my Henry at 1:30. Gonna miss it, but I've realized I can always replace it in the future.

 

[churchmouse]

SA just left for a new home. I think the fella will really enjoy the gun.

Now, I have money......Must be strong.
Must resist.

 

[RustyHornet]

I've got to decide what I really want once this is gone... Too many choices, so little money...

 

[churchmouse]

I am stashing my cash to pay off the 2011 build that will be in color and home very soon.

Good afternoon folks!

How about Young's? I normally go young's 3-4 time every month on weekends.

I wish I could help, but rarely get north of Indy.

It is a fixed night site.
I am still mulling this over.
It may be my "Punkin on a post" aim and shoot

I admire the optimism of worrying about sights. As if we could see them anyway. Point shooting is where it's at for me lately. If I have to take a careful shot over 10 yards, I'll use the sights, but in SD range, it's going to be point shooting.

So, I took the stainless 75B apart last night for some polishing work and while in there, installed free float trigger pin and a lighter hammer spring. The hammer spring is the black one rated at 11.5#. I'm running it with the stock FPS for now and we'll see if it has any ignition issues at the range. Stock, the trigger measured 9.5# DA with a 4.75# SA pull. With polishing and the lighter spring, I'm seeing 6.5# DA and 3.5# SA. Eventually, I'll start ordering some Cajun goodness for it, but that might wait until other projects are completed. These parts came out of the spares bin, so the cost is nil so far.

One thing I did notice was that the mag release, lifter spring screw was loose. I tried to turn it, but there's no bite so I just restaked it and will keep an eye on it for the next range trip. If it loosens again, she'll have to make a trip back to CZ for some work on that area.
