Been a while. Just thought I'd drop in to wish y'all a Merry Christmas. HE is the reason for the season, but we do celebrate, so my sweetie got me a classic shootin' iron with which we WILL celebrate:
Hope your year has been good to you. Been busy shooting and reloading but mostly working. A few new guns. Been having a ball with this:
Can't recall if I posted this, but she's a real sweetie and shoots right to point of aim:
I built a 300 Blackout, just to fiddle with. I'm unimpressed:
Found a smoking deal on an LR-308 so I figured I'd see how it stacks up to my 30 RARs (it's a pound heavier and about 200 fps faster...that's pretty much it)
Since Remington and the Free-dumb Group seem to have difficulty getting their act together, I built my own AR in 30 Remington AR which is flat out the best round ever chambered in a (mostly) standard AR-15. It's a bit of a PITA to build one though because it needs a proprietary bolt and barrel extension - two key parts of an AR. All other components are standard AR-15 here with a McGowan barrel, and she shoots like a house afire.
And since this is Leverguns, I found this nice .45-70 at the local pusher for less than the new junk runs. Brand new in the box. I almost tripped over myself pulling my wallet out and may have injured the man next to me. It all worked out.
Have a blessed year and make it fun. If you're not havin' fun...you're doin' something wrong!
Merry Christmas from Southern AZ

Re: Merry Christmas from Southern AZ
Good to hear you're still kickin', oly. Nice looking batch of new acquisitions you have there -- I suspect you have been having plenty of fun.
I almost got into your part of the world a couple of months ago. Had a family reunion in Dragoon. I have met some folks who haven't even heard of Dragoon, AZ. Fancy that.

Nice to hear from you, I love your part of the world, all the best for 2015.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
