Fuck it, I posted it on Instagram, might as well post it here. And yes, most of it is fake wear. I don’t usually have the Aimpoint or Surefire on there. However, it does (also) spend a ridiculous amount of time in my boat and feed truck as a plain Jane 10.5.
…not that they ever weren’t.
And yes, the mount may in fact be worth just as much, if not more, than the old RIA.
The sawed off 12 that my grandfather carried on his saddle back in 20’ and 30’s while running a chain gang. The watch strap is an original Waterborne Australia that has logged 1000’s of miles underwater (and has outlasted 3 watches). The new ones are much thinner and cheaper feeling, but rumor has it they are going to start making them like the originals again. Anyway, hope everyone is having a great Sunday.
It’s not nearly as quiet as the regular bull barrel with a thread on suppressor, but it’s also not the length of a Revolutionary War musket now. It’s keeping my 40 grain Mini-Mags subsonic and quiet and pretty accurate.
Got scared, came home to take pics on the closet floor. One star, would not recommend. My guns got dirty, I sweated (ick!!!) and…I used up some ammo.
Big shout out to Bone Frog Ammo. I ran through 500 rounds of their 77 gr OTM and it ran flawlessly in the 14.5, keeping groups to about the size of the palm of my hand out to 200 yards (with the AimPoint and an astigmatism).
I’ll give it to Rapco…it’s some durable shit. I didn’t dig how I painted my gun, and spent quite some time trying to get it off, only to realize, I didn’t have enough time today. Went the route of just making it look used for now until I figure something out. Mother was right, I shouldn’t have left the basement.
Broke down and painted the Gordon. Didn’t dig it. Started taking it off and realized (3) things:
(1) Rapco Paint is some durable shit.
(2) It’s going to take a lot more time than I had today to get the rest of that off.
(3) Mother was right, I shouldn’t have left the basement.
I’ll just stick with the “Well Used” look until I figure out another route.
