    Guns I'm selling a couple this week to pay for anything new.
    I'm not really looking for anything now
    I already have a couple fullsize single action cz75s I just like the thought of a compact cz75
    I'm looking at a Chevy extended cab one day this week.

    If anyone buy's the p322 either leave the mags fully loaded a few days
    Or tie the follower's down
    I was having mag issues until I did this IMG_20220420_150336612_HDR.jpg

    Stopped by my friends range
    He bought several more wrangler's
    He'd already given his kids one each
    I guess he buys one each time he
    Goes to the gun store IMG_20220427_153604320_HDR.jpg
    My SIG is cured after getting the mag springs to seat.
    I got out my competition mark2 Ruger
    But the tx .22 and p322 are more fun.

    Bought 5 more sets of fiber optic sights
    They are only 9.00 per when you buy that many and they are aluminum IMG_20220720_193450356_HDR.jpg
    I put a set on my Glock 22 .40 I leave it on my nightstand IMG_20220720_193539654.jpg IMG_20220720_193328553.jpg
    The Taurus G3C has Glock sight cuts so I put a set on it
    I like the sight picture.

    In the midst of load development for last winter's 6Arc project, can't rightly call an AR a "build" now can I...?

    There were teething pains, because the extractor was wreaking all sorts of havoc. Naturally thinking I needed different buffer weight, recoil spring rate or gas block settings it took a while for me to figure out the what was really happening. This video by JRB on yootoob explains it better than I.



    But that's behind me now and my attention quickly focused on my lackluster 4-14x44 mil scope.

    Enter the Athlon 6-24x50 mil. I know old news for some, but I've never really been interested in scopes much so know relatively little. The selection process was overwhelming to say the least and in the end I was just hoping I did the right thing.

    I can say I'm very pleased! This thing is the nicest scope I've ever bought, and the etched reticle is an amazing leap forward. Since it calls for rain today, it's a good excuse to pull the old scope and drop this on. I even sprung for the screw on sunshade and can't wait to give it a try.

    I have a 9mm conversion barrel and 9mm mags for it
    It's been a very reliable and accurate pistol.

    I took the time today to pull the other one off and get the Athlon mounted, I have a batch loaded so hopefully I can get off my butt tomorrow morning before it gets too hot and dial it in.

    Can you post a link to those sights please? (I'm assuming you bought online...)

    I've never heard of Athlon scopes...
