The CZickness XXXVIII....To Honor a friend

[T-DOGG]

Successful test of the 72 Crackshot. Sights will need adjusting another day. Ros got her first go at mom's Rough Rider. Twas a good day.

Get that girl some eye pro, brother.

She don't need to end up like Dad.

Her eyes are pink too. We had some moisture & fogging issues. We didn't stay out very long.

We did have a quick laugh after because every cow in the valley was mooing after our baker's dozen.

Pardon the ignorance, but what's the blue/yellow/green/black things next to the files?

With the numbers and strips on them, they look like some pencil-like cousin of a sanding block.

Made me go back and look. Those are cool.

Lots of firearms talk, and photos in our cherished thread ....cool !

Yeah, I was wondering what they were. I did a triple-check just to make sure. Hopefully CM will let us know how to best leverage them (and where to spend our money).

They are loaded with different grades of sandcloth. Brownells sells them and they are great for meticulous work.

They are. The sanding belts are replaceable.

This will be a winter of firearms related projects.

No CZ's unfortunately as I am set in that area. But AR's and 1911's and the list is kinda long.

That's what I get for not zooming in and looking at a small picture on my phone. Now I see 240 and 400 grit.

Sweet. Thanks. I'm loving all the upgrades.

Makes me want to get a 1911 and fix it.. All I need is to get rid of the grip safety, convert it to SA/DA, swap the safety for an ambi-decocker. ... More seriously, the work is very impressive.

I survived the week. Getting caught up on all this pistol brace nonsense.

Just bustin your chops, hope i didn't offend.

On occasion, within the last year, I've not worn eye pro while shooting rifles due to fogging issues. I dont like doing that, but thought I'd mention it, so people don't think I was being a jerk by saying something.

The black one is 500 grit. I am low on belts to replace on them and went on at Brownells tonight. They are on back order for most of the grits. Dangit.
I did drop $180 on abrasives and 2 small parts.

Yeah this has CKW and I twisted up pretty tightly. The Alphabet agency's ability's to write law.

Stop being a sissy and step up.

Zen, for me, was reached while photographing my new holster for the Ruger Wrangler. It'll tide me over until I can refurbish the 1/2 century old rig that my friend gave to me,
The holster (by DeSantis) is called the Wild Hog ! ....standard draw, cross-draw, and ambidextrous.

I have only held a 1911 once. It just felt awkward. Didn't shoot it though, made I'd like it some if I actually operated one.

Zen is achieved for me at least, when doing something that removes my mind from the stresses of life and lets me solve problems mechanical in nature.
Achieving a goal with the tools and materials at hand.
