The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

[jagee]

Walking out for lunch I ran in to a little 4 pointer. Had an easy shot at like 5 yards but decided to pass. Hope big brother comes out to play...

Picked up my first CZ at the gun shop yesterday, a new CZ 75 BD - 9mm.
Got it for $639 plus Indiana Sales tax, and don't think I did too badly in these times.
Though I haven't had a chance to fire it, it's DEFINITELY a keeper!

Had a short delay getting the hang of getting Slide Stop out without dinging anything, and it's now oiled up and ready.

Interestingly, my go to gun dealer who's mid 70's plus in age was telling me that many years ago CZ pistols were not common in this country, and were mostly brought back by guys who'd been overseas in the service.
AND they commanded some pretty high prices.

Awesome! The more you shoot it the better it will get!

Congrats. I’ve heard the same thing about CZs back in the day

Got one past the wolves at GB a nice S&W 1905 HE target with factory finish and excellent bore.

What cartridge does the S&W use?

Did some gun stuff today. Accompanied my dad to fill out his first 4473. Now his second firearm. He said he wanted a .22 rifle to target practice and learn skills with. I found a local deal on these TC R-22’s with a case and a cheap red dot.

This one uses 38 special, it was also sold in 32-20.

What little I've seen of those leads me to believe that is a good first choice. Think they'll take 10/22 parts as well.

Nope. Got some sprinkles this morning but nothing major.

I got one project done today i've been wanting to do. I'm no master woodworker but I built this little cabinet for my benchtop beadblaster. I can wheel it out of the way if I need to and it's suspended so I can drain my media out of the bottom when I need to change it. And it's actually level lol.

Project day I see.

Plugging away at the garage. Now have heat finally after 3 years of talking about it.

Nice work.

One of the first things I had beat into my head in construction was to stand a push broom on it's handle. Otherwise the bristles get bent over and don't sweep as well.

Looks good, your fuse box was in a convenient location worked out perfect. I don't know much about electrical, is the wire going up into the ceiling going back down into the fuse box?

It's either you, Matt or Jason....sheesh.

Didn't do any home projects today. Worked at the shop a little, got some tri-coat red truck parts painted for a job next week. We're fairly busy right now so it helps to get a jump start on the new work load.

Tomorrow is leaf control at the homestead.

Yes. The two access tubes come out right up in the attic above the fuse panel. I was up in that area doing insulation anyways, piece of cake.

 

[T-DOGG]

I need to research options for insulating the attic access door still.

Do you need a leaf blower? I know a guy.
