A pair of laser engraved PMags. One with the Virginia state seal for my AR, and one with the EGA (and it comes loaded with crayons) for a retired Marine buddy of mine.

Wheeler engineering lazer bore siter.
Tipton rifle vice.
444 marlin brass to use as 410 shotgun hulls.
Carbide 3 way cutter for RCBS trim pro 2.
Then I had fallen for one of those 'just pay shipping and these 2 lazer sites are free' waited 3 months and called in a complaint. Received 2 a couple of weeks later. I had also paid S&H for a generic range bag that had a 'free' gun magnet included. Well 8 months later the bag, magnet, and 2 lazer sites arrived.

Re: What have you bought in the last 48 hours?(firearms related)
Just placed an order with Ruger for a Troy Industries QD sling mount and sling swivel. Had a $25 off gift certificate for the last five years that still somehow was valid (I'm assuming Ruger's gift cards or certificates never expire), so I used that.
So what would've been a 40 dollar order is now only costing me about 16 bucks.
ETA: Got an email from Ruger today and I guess there was a minor issue with my order. They requested I call them to speak with a representative to figure out the issue.
Took them almost two weeks to find an issue, so I hope it's nothing too serious.

I had a cheap Uncle Mike's style holster for my LCP II that I liked for holding the gun and a spare mag all in one small package in my luggage when traveling (assuming the gun wasn't in a pants pocket) that a friend saw when he and his wife visited the other day. She carries a small 9mm (forget which) and had been looking for a different holster for it. She wanted to try mine so I just gave it to her to keep and ordered myself a new one earlier today.

ATN Auxiliary Ballistic Smart Laser Rangefinder w/Bluetooth
This is a ballistic laser that clamps to and works with the smart scope on my BM59, allowing the BDC in the scope to get a precise range to target and adjust the crosshairs for a perfect shot at ranges out to 1,000m. While it would be cool to have I saw no need to buy the 1,500m version @ $80 more. Maybe if I change the scope to a different rifle, one capable of making precise shots at such ranges, then I might upgrade but for now the 1,000m version suits me fine as the longest range at any of the places I currently shoot is 600 yards.

Picked up a bunch of various Magpul stuff today (mostly sling parts and a fore end for my 870 and another grip for my AR) along with my very first OTF knife.
I also picked up a pair of OEM Glock mags for my G17. I would've picked up a couple G21 mags, but they were cleaned out of them and pretty much everything else. The Memorial Day sales crowd beat me to it all.

Re: What have you bought in the last 48 hours?(firearms related)
My order from Ruger finally shipped today.
I got an email from their CS on Tuesday about an issue with my order, but a quick phone call cleared it up. Still trying to figure out why it took them two weeks to figure out there was an issue, though.

Re: What have you bought in the last 48 hours?(firearms related)
Got some extra mags for weird handguns I have. If the current unrest turns into something long term, supplies like magazines may be harder to find, I figure. This is what I get for shooting something other than a Glock that I can find anywhere......

And as I mentioned elsewhere, is part of why I'm thinking about buying a Glock.PistolPete wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 1:48 pmGot some extra mags for weird handguns I have.

My XD is serviceable (obviously, or I wouldn't've kept it for nearly 20 years), but Glocks and Glock parts are ubiquitous.

Re: What have you bought in the last 48 hours?(firearms related)
Yeah, exactly why my goto is a Glock 34. But I have some other guns that see general use, and may be highly useful in civil unrest for having certain capabilities, that use boutique magazines, so I blew my allowance all at once. Looks like sandwiches for lunch all week!

Picked up a couple boxes of Hornady Black .45 ACP ammo today (would've grabbed more, but Academy still has a three box limit on any ammo and they only had two boxes anyway) as well as an ETS C.A.M rifle mag loader.

Truglo scope--- don't know if the sale is valid in your region...........

I haven't really heard of Truglo, but one of the guys in the shop is a past national archery champion, and he has excellent experience with Truglo bow sights
still debating if I should go back and pick up another

Can't speak for this particular model but I have one of their 2x42mm reddots on my Ruger PC9 and it's working well. The scope lens caps are crap though.aikorob wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 6:16 amTruglo scope--- don't know if the sale is valid in your region...........

Just placed an order with Midway USA for a set of 7.62x39 snap caps, a set of 7.62x54r snap caps and a bluing touch up pen.
I was going to order a bottle of cold blue stuff or a tube of the paste type stuff, but I figured the bluing pen would be easier and less messy for me.

Bent the firing pin retainer on my AR cleaning the bolt last night so I went to buy a 5 pack from Brownells. They're on back order (ordered) but I also saw the KNS Precision AR-15 Perma Firing Pin Retainer while I was there and bought one for a temp fix. If it's good I may keep it and save the 5 as spares.
