Morning Winmag - nice job on the forend. I like the look alike digicamo look. Harris Bipod? Looks like you’re all set.
A SigSauer P-226 Conversion kit for .22lr followed me home. Did a runthrough last weekend and found it to be quite acceptable. It’s not without its share of teething problems, mainly being the slide not locking back after the last shot and the firing pin hitting the rim of the chamber and in a only a few rounds it can be peened over and that’s the start of the permanent FTEs. So the drill is one snap cap in the magazine right off the bat and then load your 9 or 14 rounds of CCI mini-mag and you’re good to go. Second teething problem is the apparent incompatibility of the conversion kit to pre-1989 models of the 226. The factory doesn’t have either of those ‘warnings’ anware in the literature or on the website. Still all in all I’m satisfied with what it can do and I like shooting it, ‘nuff said.
Good Morning - Had a long walk last night and a similar one this morning. Overtaxed, LSA and I had a spur of the moment mini-moot last night. We rendevoused at JackStax and proceed to do serious damage to a big plate of lamb ribs. We toasted to all who couldn’t be there with us and figured up the last time we were there for dinner was with you guys last summer. Where the heck did the time go.
Well, this ain’t gettin’ it done. But in other newzz..Some more prep work for the painters who are showing up wednesday. Although the paint had faded, it hadn’t peeled so were going with the same painter again. He’s an older fella has an assistant and that’s what he does, paint houses.
"All set" in the sense of having all the pieces. Not "all set" because I still have to lap the scope rings, mount the scope, and set everything up. At the rate things are going, that might turn into a winter project.
