I see you jumped on buying the Chinese flatbacks AIM is selling too.

Bought six of those last week, they're extremely nice and smooth once you wipe them down.

I bought all the ingredients to make Ed's Red Bore Cleaner; a home brew bore cleaner/solvent.

http://www.handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=9

The basic recipe is:
1 part Dexron II, IIe or III ATF (basic automatic transmission oil).
1 part Kerosene - deodorized, K1 (the stuff you'd get for an indoor kerosene heater)
1 part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits
1 part Acetone

(Optional up to 1 lb. of Lanolin, Anhydrous, USP per gallon, OK to substitute Lanolin, Modified, Topical Lubricant, from the drug store)

The ingredient that was the hardest to find? The lanolin, which I finally found in the breastfeeding section of my local CVS pharmacy. I had to ask for help. No, the clerk didn't ask any questions and I didn't offer any answers. :oops:

The first two ingredients (the AT fluid and the K-1, in equal parts) supposedly makes a very effective gun oil.

The upfront cost for this recipe is considerably more than a small container of Hoppes #9 and Remington gun oil, but I now have a multi-year cache (if not a lifetime supply) of gun cleaning and lubricating supplies. Plus, I like the idea of learning how to make this stuff myself. In a SHTF situation, knowing homebrew substitutes for specialty products is part of my preparedness philosophy.

I have a PSA 16" Wylde 223/5.56 chamber stainless steel AR15 upper scheduled to be delivered this week, and the break in regimen for a stainless steel barrels involves frequent cleaning of the bore for the first 50-100 rounds. I'll let you know how this stuff works.

I just went to the Ancaster Gun show and scored 200 rounds (10 boxes) of Canadian made milsupr 7.62x51mm NATO ammo for $80 - that's an amazing price of $.40 per round!

PSA ran out of aluminum cased 45acp CCI Blazer, so sent me brass CCI Blazer instead. Now I only wish I would have bought more than 1000! 8-)

Thumbs up again for PSA.

Hey, the gel for 2 6x6x16" blocks is $75. Do you want to split the cost?

You can say that again man, optics planet is utter crap, all 3 times I've tried to order stuff it all has been on backorder reguardless of what the site says.

I recommend never buying anything online not from an authorized dealer. It's ebay so yeah, probably fake. However, I've never been overly impressed with MBUS sights to begin with.

It's almost impossible to tell the difference between the Magpul and Magpul PTS MBUS sets in person, in both form and function. You can take this in two ways- your "fake" sights probably work just as well as the Magpul ones. Your Magpul sights are about the same quality as the fake ones. ymmv.

Just traded for a Taurus M85--save the hate, I have carried one of these alongside my SW J-Frames for years--this one is going to the oldest daughter. It was advertised as used, but I'll bet it didn't have a dozen rounds through it. Clean, tight, and deeply blued.

Bought some Trijicon Tritium night sights for my Glock 23 3rd gen. I gotta say, I've tried Truglo's and they're not as nice as the Trijicons. Well worth the 80 bucks. Extra magazines are next on the list.
