Did you do anything related to guns today? Maybe you spent some time at the range, cleaned your firearms, tinkered with some gear, or just checked out some new stuff online? Let's hear it!
What gun stuff did you do today?

Sorry, but I did nary a thing. I thought about them and that's why I'm here tonight.
Something I usually do in the winter months is take each one of my firearms and clean it, even if it hasn't be shot for a while, inspect it, lube and wipe it down. I will then evaluate it to see if I need (or want) to change anything on it or just leave it the way it is.
That's how I got to where I am with my 9mm and 300 BLK AR pistols and wanting to change them over for suppressor mounting. So I am changing a couple of barrels and hand guards and getting some keymo micro mounting attachments. That way I can use 1 can for a while on multiple guns until I can get more suppressors!
And no, I do not have a suppressor.....yet.

Took a buddy to Ravenwood in Topuka and only managed to break 64/100. I knew I wasnt getting into the gun properly, and my cheek still hurts because of it. Also doesnt help that its an aluminum receiver inertia setup.
Then that lead me to find out there arent any cz 1012 specific offerings for a replacement pad and I'll have to modify another. So, waiting on that donor part to show.

Practiced reloading my Colt Viper revolver. That is something that I have to do a lot more of.
Last night I took apart and re-assembled a recently-inherited 1941 Remington Model 11 to clean and oil it. I gained a new appreciation for modern designs that are easier to take down.
If you ever run across a model 11 12ga bbl, let a feller know

Just ordered from The Glock Store, a Gen 3 Hex Slide for a Glock 17 clone I am building. Also ordered
a slide completion kit and, at least for now, some basic OEM Glock sights.
I have the completed lower and a barrel already, So I just need the above parts to complete.
For me, part of my problem of having "extra" parts lying around is that I figure, if just get this part and
that part, I can complete another rifle or maybe a few other parts to complete another pistol!

I weighed and measured length of several brands of .380 ACP cases. I was looking to see which were the most consistent. Starline were the most consistent. (Not a big surprise.) Runner-up was S&B. Most importantly, there was enough variance in weight that it will need to be taken into consideration when pushing maximum loads.
