Ah yes.  Eventually, everyone gets one.




And about the cookies:

Not bad???  NOT BAD!!  you robbed them....is there a wanted poster out?

Those guys selling out the side door of their van probably didn't make you fill out one of those silly forms either, did they?

Took it to the range today...it works!

The trigger (5.5 lb) is a little stiff, but manageable.  Hopefully it will loosen up with use.  The recoil is a little more snappy than the 1911, which is to be expected, but it's not at all disagreeable. 100 rounds of WWB downrange without a hiccup.  What a nice change of pace.   ;D

Target on the left is 30 rounds at approx. 10 yards, right target is 40 rounds at approx. 7 yards.  All shot off-hand rather quickly.

All in all I'm very pleased with my new tupperware.  Having trouble finding a bore brush for it, though.  Guess I'll have to put it in the dishwasher for now.   ;)

I also took the M1 carbine out to finish off the remaining ammunition.  Now to clean it up and sell it to raise money for my AR project.

They're agreeable to shooting.  Glad you like it.

Out of sheer curiosity.  (I certainly don't need another one.......but what's need ever had to do with it.)   What make is your M1 Carbine?

You really don't even need to bother for another 5-600 rounds.  
Throw some lube on it and call it good.  ;D

Glad the hiccups are gone!

Or you can use a .410 shotgun bore brush as well.  You can find them pretty much everywhere.

I can really go a long time without cleaning if I just do an occasional run of the Boresnake and a little lube.

You really don't even need that. I'm embarrassed to say I never cleaned my G17 (defined as copper brushes and Hoppes #9). I just lubed it. Nothing more than Rem oil through the barrel with a swab, repeated till it came out clean, and a spritz and wipe down with a silicon rag on all the the other parts. I only did this if it got wet or after a heavy session. When I first got it (20 years ago) I was too new to automatics to realize you were supposed to clean the mags. They got a squirt and a wipe. I had almost zero problems, like a dozen jams over two decades with a gun I shot the hell out of. Needless to say, I treat my current guns better, but a Glock really doesn't need much TLC as long as you are using quality ammo and not shooting unjacketed rounds to introduce lead fouling. They really are unstoppable. In the interest of full disclosure, I have never been a target shooter, and I'm sure being a bit anal wil improve performance. Still, even being somewhat neglectful never caused a problem for me. The damn things just work.

Waiting for the Carbine to sell on consignment.  I did have enough cash left over from the SA 1911 sale to buy this today:

I guess the AR project has started.

Is that the one you need the FFL for? I always wondered if you ordered your lower as just a bunch of pieces parts which one triggered the background check. If that's it it seems absurd that something with no moving parts causes all that fuss.

Yes...because it has the serial number on it.................... Everything else can be had sans FFL.
