It's been almost 10 months since I made it to the range to shoot my own guns for once. This was also the first time I have been shooting since the ar-15 exploded on me last year. I was definitely nervous and I started out shooting my 357 magnum loads out of my 2.5 inch ch***pa rhino. So it took a few minutes to tighten up my groups. Then shot my fn 509 tactical with an apex tactical trigger kit installed. Then my hk vp9 tactical needed to zero the holosun. From there shot my sig sauer p226 west german that I did a trigger job to and added a muzzle brake. That gun shot extremely well with very little recoil. Next was my sig p365 xl with an icurus precision lower and a muzzle brake. Then I shot my sig p320/ m18 for the first time. It's a very nice shooting gun. But I did have to get used to it. I went back and shot another 50 rounds out of my p226 to end the range day. Was so much fun to getting some lead down range. I shot all my targets at 15 yards and 50 rounds out of each gun except tge p226 was a hundred total.

Springfield Armory XDM 10MM ELITE, came in for Hydrographics on the lower and cerakoted with rmr installation. Been 7 months since i took one of these apart and put back together. Let me help everyone out by saying the back strap safety spring must be put in like shown in the last picture or it wont work properly. Once you get the trigger group and those parts installed, move to the back strap safety. You will want a shim so the spring doesn't launch out when you put it in the frame. Then start the pin in and put it only slightly past the part so you have room for the other spring and part. Once they are installed, it's easy to put the rest of the parts in. I hope this will help anyone else put an xd together.

My thoughts and prayers are with Charlie kirk and his family. It is truly evil to assassinate anyone just because you don't like his perspective on things.

RG, Model 31, 38 special came in missing its grips and tapped up with electrical tap. The scariest part was the pin used to hold the cylinder in line was missing. The customer used an ar15 firing pin in the place of the correct part??? It was one of those if you can't red neck engineer your gun into working...lol order the correct cylinder pin and replacement grips. Then cleaned the revolver.

R***r Precision, 17hmr, had a damaged barrel from a bore sighter being left in the barrel. A muzzle brake made by yankie Hill was pinned and weilded in place. The rifle was having problems extracting. A chamber reamer was used to clean and smooth out the chamber. Then a thorough cleaning. After that, i checked to see if rounds would cycle properly and extract. Everything is working properly now. No fi****ms are forsale, only posted for entertainment purposes.

ACME Arms, Belgium made, double barrel in 12 gauge. Made around 1896. A full restoration was started on the shotgun. The wood is so dry that I have it soaking in orange oil all weekend. The metal parts were scrubbed with 0000 and then but through the ultrasonic cleaner. The reciever and side plates were soaked in birchwood casey rust preventative and after a few days I used a touch to help bring the case color harding back to life. Alot of small parts where antique blued as well as the barrel
