What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

I just don't know what to think about all you guys buying all these guns

I think we have been heeding the advice of our mentor who is named Master BeltFed

I have tried no loc tite, blue loc tite, vibra tite vc 3. Cleaned screws and holeS to perfection with both Acetone, as well as MEK. On the original prodigy I sent gun an plate to mother ship and had them mount it, lasted 75 rounds of WWB 115fmj before it plate came loose. How is you Operator AOS performing?

i ran 80 through the hell cat this morning
i checked torque on the screws for the optic at 40 and then at 80
still tight, no movement
i will keep an eye on them for sure

That's crazy. Seriously abnormal.

I'm teetering on the fence about buying a SOLGW 5.56 BCG. I really don't need another one, but.....

What is this “need” you speak of? If we only acquired what we actually “needed”, none of us would have much…

I've already bored you with my latest purchases, but there will be a swap meet at the end of the month. My last chance to buy something this year.

Ooooooooooo..... what do you have? I have muchos that I want to pass on to others from my scratch and dent bin. You know, to make room for other stuff that I will let sit for years while I wonder why I picked it up but too much of a cheapskate (or too lazy?) to sell it.

Dawson tooless guide rod and matching recoil spring kit for new Prodigy comp 5". The gun shoots amazingly.
I would pay big money to not have to remove optic and plate, clean screws and holes and re mount everything at 1 or 2 hundred rounds. Springfields AOS system is seriously flawed. I am thinking a TIG tac may be required to keep plate tight on slide. Any suggestions?

Gorilla glue or JB Weld?

Try clear finger nail polish. The wife probably has some, so no cost. Remember to return it to her.

That stuff fixes everything!!!

 

[youngolddude]

I have some guns that have screws that back out. A little polish and I don't have a chance to bugger up the heads with a wrong size screwdriver.

 

[Bassbob]

If LocTite don't work I doubt clear fingernail polish will.

My guess is it's a shite design or execution of a design. You shouldn't need LocTite at all.

I have 5 spares in a safe at the moment. I see these reviews on them and something compels me to buy them. Or I see them on sale and I buy 2. All the BCGs on all my ARs are good ones. The odds of me ever even needing a single spare are pretty remote.

I guess I better buy one of these just to be safe. They're supposed to be the best in the business.

In Cheyenne th Jax store at the mall is being bought out by a Bomgaars. Everything is/was on sale. I found a NIB XD-E mag. I wasn't looking for one, but for the price it couldn't be beat. I also got a mini ammo can.

I got a package yesterday from a little outfit called RTG Parts in Sheridan, Wyoming. Five brand new Mec-Gar 15 round Hi-Power magazines. Its a little family owned business that deals mostly in surplus gun parts. I stumbled across them while searching for magazines. $19.95 each. Which is about $3 cheaper than anywhere else.
Shipping was a little slow. It took them 10 days to get here. But then I imagine the weather in Wyoming is kinda tough in December and USPS is loaded down with Christmas. So I ain't complaining.

Well, I tried to buy something.
Last Thursday the 19th, I called Vortex Optics to purchase some extra mounting screws for the Defender XL red dot I recently purchased. Ron in customer service said screws are free and that he would get a few in the mail right away. When he asked if he could do anything else for me I said no thank you. We had a short conversation about the various Vortex optics that I own and love. I wished him a Merry Christmas and we ended the call. The attached pic is the screws and other goodies that arrived ten minutes ago.

5 stars to Vortex customer service!
