It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Finally got the M&P done. Slide and RMR cuts along with new cerakote. Couldn't shoot it today because I'm building an Arc. ⛈  â˜"️

Winter sucks. Significant snowfall almost every other day. What to do but build my first AR? Bits and pieces are on the way, will be a .243Win to match my beloved Ruger deer rifle and for something a little different.

Pics to follow.

A good arc on a puddle could lead to shocking results.

I've been busy loading shot shells. I bought a PW 375C single stage for 20 gauge a while back and I use that for spreaders. You can kind of see it in the background on the right. I picked this beast up just before the first of the year... It's a PW 800+



It was set up for manual operation in the pic, but it came with a hydro unit, toolheads for 4 gauges, and a 40 gal barrel full of 12 gauge once fired hulls. With the hydro unit installed, and having a good session where nothing bad happens, trust me...when bad stuff happens shot and powder go flying everywhere :P, I can load about 750 shells an hour.

Along with construction on the house, this was my other summer project - a friend sold me this old .50 caliber CVA Hawken replica for peanuts. It was a 1970s era kit gun, slapped together without any finish work and a few minor parts missing. The lock and trigger needed work, but the slow-twist barrel is well-made & very accurate with roundballs, and I was pleasantly surprised that it gets along really well with modern, conical hunting bullets. I re-fitted all the wood & metal so that everything fits flush, re-finished the stock & re-browned all the steel parts (except the barrel, which is in good shape and a PITA to brown). Since I was trying for a working, frontier-style look that I could hunt & bang around in the woods without worrying about, I kept fancy stuff to a minimum and added some tack work on the stock; that's my 3 triangles logo at the waist, and a simple compass rose on the forestock.

I didn't like the look of the casting on the rear sight, so I filed off all the mold sprue marks, and then got a little carried away:

It shoots really nicely. Apparently, the local deer caught wind of that, which is why I spent a week last November watching elk with a deer tag in my pocket.  [roll]

I've got a similar Hawken that my Dad built when I was a kid hanging on the wall in my basement lounge. Should really pull it down and make some smoke with it this year.
