Wow has it been a day? I have been in the shop too much, lol! Backpacker run and I'm grinding like nuts!

No baby yet though, due date was yesterday too. Anytime!

I hope to have 6 backpackers finished up later today if I am fast... stonewashed and green.

Had enough beer for one day...took out a whole platoon. Then proceeded to make some killer fish tacos and guacamole.

Got some more work done on the AR15 today, hand lapped the bore today. It's a nice bright nearly a mirror finish inside now. Should cut down on fouling and help accuracy at best, and zero difference at worst.


Hope all are making it great!

Mirror finish.. very cool! What lapping compound? That gub is going to be awesome! (already is!)

No beer lately... haven't drank in about a week. Yarrggh! lol Been swabbing and plundering instead.

That was a serious day in the shop yesterday... time for another one! Backpackers are almost complete and the kitchen knife group is ready for shaped handles... I'm going to try a peened pin too! yay!

I took a sabbatical weeks.
A few weeks of disconnection of the world are very good. No internet, mobile phone on a property of my parents house in Spain.
Best for mental health, able to think and be quiet.
Within a few days the hunting season begins, more days offline
That such by USA?
 
The barrel was pretty good to begin with, it's a blank from E. R. Shaw who makes some of the best production blanks in the business (not so much aftermarket match grade, but blanks for gun makers) but I used JB Bore paste with Kroil. It's a proven method and a non embedding compound. Some guys like to do lead lapping which involves casting a pure lead plug in your bore over the end of your cleaning rod and then high grit SC compound. I don't want to do that yet with this gun, having the gas port get full of lapping compound is a pain to clean up.

Kermmak, a bit of time away to recharge your batteries is always a good thing! I've been thinking about doing that myself soon, take the wife out for a weekend or something. I've been sitting on a couple weeks vacation time that I need to use.

Welcome back Kermmak - sound idyllic.

Chicago's inland trout season opener is three weeks out. Looking forward to that.
 
Guys- FYI. Reading glasses are not safety glasses. I had a close call today.
Safety first, you all!!
G'night!! :D
 
Hey y'all, Jen and I are back from celebrating our 4th anniversary. We took a weekend trip into gold country. It is nice to just get away from the house for a few days and not worry about anything. Hope y'all had a good weekend too.
