Recent auction pickup. Would have been a killer deal if the packing/shipping company didnt screw me bad. Still a good deal though.

Transferrable mk19 and two China lakes. As well as a plethora of m203s and at least one m79

I may have put on some baby weight with this last boy. But at least I finally got one of these kits put together. Needs a little tuning but its 99% done. Hopefully i can paint it this week and move on to my ppsh kit ive been itching to build

This just looked so cool. I feel like we never see aggressors around Ohio, and they are all out west or down south. The peeling flat paint just gave it an awesome rat rod look. Probably my favorite hornet alongside the NASA ones.

Can looks 10x better now.

After shooting these cans a couple time in the last year or two, I finally got one for myself. Its going to be hard to decide if I keep the hesychia 6k or the fireteam556 on my mk18

I have all the parts to weld up a functioning receiver, and I will! But I have zero time to work on such a project and any time I do make is going to customer's projects. Maybe in a couple months. For now it looks pretty cool.

After meeting David a couple times at our Big Bore Blast, he emailed me and offered to send some of his new shell cases over to check out.

Here are some initial thoughts since just unboxing them.

They are nice. Machining and anodizing on the aluminum shells are clean. The injection molded nylon shells had a good feel to them, some companies that make their own nylon shells end up with a weird smooth texture. The gussets/fins on the inside of the shell between the launch charge node and out wall seem to be a good addition. I suspect that they will extend the case life a lot, as the node splitting is the most common failure point in milspec shells.

I grabbed my m203 and a few spare barrels. The shells fit them all well and ejected out of the m203 properly.

Up next, I really need to test fitment of projectiles into the shells. I have a collection of different military and commercial projectiles/pushers to test fit. And then I need to do some live fire testing. Ive hardly been in my shop lately due to another son on the way any day, and the last BBB shoot taking up my free time before then.

If anyone has tried these already, let me know what your experience has been.

Im not sure if I still have a 37mm launcher. Or at least one suitable for these.

Bought some original GI grips from Sarco because the ones that come with the tisas m1911 clone look terrible. Super happy with the result, even if the original composite grips are a little worn.

Kinda wish I would have spent the extra on the wood grips with a rack marking. But maybe ill get a yellow grease marker or something and try to recreate them.

Im not a big 1911 guy at all. But having one in the collection is really fulfilling. Of course an original would be cooler. But ive got like 300 bucks into this thing and it just works.

Rico309 is pretty great. Lighter weight than it looks, and top tier in sound suppression. Uzi is a classic heavy brick with oversized grip

Uzi with an "FBI" barrel and pointman9 suppressor

I got the opportunity to shoot the OOW REAPR a couple weeks ago.

Definitely a cool gun. Unfortunately I only got to experience it in 7.62NATO. I like the slower rate of fire. Im not sure if the 338 configuration fires at a higher rate or not. Looking at the feed tray, you can definitely tell that this gun is built for 338.

It is definitely long and the barrel is probably the heaviest part. Itd be interesting to see a lighter barrel made just to run it in 7.62 rather than a 7.62 version of the full size barrel.
