The "What did you buy today?" thread...

[Chubaka]

LOL pleasure to meet you.
Are you a fan of pickles or are you just happy to see me?

I got it because my cat I'd named Mr. Pickles. I'm sure my neighbors get a kick out of me looking for my little pickles.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Yeah, I look for my little pickle on occasion.

 

[DavidB1126]

I'm pickled

Took the new tools, went and bought brackets and lumber, and finally built myself a decent workbench.

Thanks guys. I figured if I couldn't build a decent workbench, then I probably shouldn't attempt to build anything else either.

Looks good man. I love the casters on it!

Thanks! At 6ft x 2ft she's a big girl, the casters were a must. Getting my bench dogs setup next.

LETS GOOO MY NEW RADIO ARRIVED!

 

[HPIguy]

Took advantage of some Christmas sales, and sold some other toys, so parts are starting to trickle in for another build.

JWH Customs bolt and bolt handle, and bolt buffers

CNC Machined from 4140 tool steel
Proper Headspace
Proper Firing Pin Protrusion
Hardened for Durability
Pinned Firing Pin for Consistent Ignition
Radiused and Polished for Improved Cycling
Laser Cut steel firing pin
Laser Cut steel extractor

And a Ruger BX trigger

 

[Tunedfrog]

Two packs of fly rod leaders.

I hope JWH is back on track, they had some struggles with QC not long ago... so I haven't looked at them lately.

The last bolt I bought was a Power Custom.

What's the end goal for this build? Heavy weigh bench gun, lightweight field gun, ultra lightweight Steel Challenge gun... or?

The Blue Pig as it's known as was spectacular today but I wasn't happy with its steering. It's too loose or a servo killer depending on what servo saver setup I use. So I decided to try something different.

1 Arrma V6 bellcrank.
1 M2C steering plate. I bent the previous one with one of my servo killer setups.

I have that trigger on one of my 10/22s. It's no KIDD or better yet a Volquartsen, but definitely an upgrade over that factory trigger.
