Not exactly gunsmithing

[Chicken lights]

Well.... you can probably get something similar in Ontario, maybe even the exact same item. BUT some of that kind of stuff has to go through an official export/import process. It's not so much a problem with bringing it into CA but rather an issue with it leaving the US. Check if Brownells sells the exact same items and if they have any restrictions on internationals sale of said items.

Just trying to save you some grief is all.

I always just say no when they ask if I purchased anything at the booths. And, usually, I haven’t purchased anything worth mentioning.

I get what you’re saying, I’m just gathering this stuff when I can and while it’s legal to do so

Perhaps drop off that Bro-ject ....beers......BBQ......Running water, pool (summer option) , etc......wink wink......

Man your time on the road is insane!!!...strange................ I text this as I spend literally 182 days a year on the water and no where near home.......and then driving home or to far away home....yikes!


Going to text my buddy with I think the same firearm .....he had issues ....will advise...

I’m starting to think I need to look for an apartment up the road from you....or at least find a place to park the big horse for home time

I love the Muskokas in the summer, it’s one of my favourite places to spend time

Picked up that little kit today. Got the forward assist in, then put the charging handle and bolt group back in. Everything seems to work as it should so far.

Looks good. Is that an AR specific tool kit you picked up? If so, it should have all the roll pin punches etc. you'll need to assemble her.

It’s an AR tool kit, but seems like it would cover a lot of ground

Just a heads-up for you Chicken since you have an interest in guns and like to do a little site seeing along your way... on one of your trips through Montana, about an hour or so west of Billings is a small town called Big Timber...Both Shilo Sharps & C Sharps have their factories there and if you have any interest in the old style buffalo guns it is a "must stop" destination. Both places have display areas with guns and swag available. I think you should be able to drive your truck right to the front of both buildings( their only 1/2 a block apart).
And if your hungry at the time, the restaurant at the old hotel (1890 vintage) & an order of their BBQ beef ribs should keep you going for 2 or 3 days ( just picture Fred Flintstone & his brontosaurus ribs LOL).

Made a lot of progress. I’m missing one detent for the upper/lower retaining spring. I thought I bought a couple but they ended up being the wrong size. I’m completely out of my league on the gas block and gas pipe. I need to grab a flash hider of some kind still, other than that I think we’re almost ready to see if it works. CGN said possibly have a gunsmith install the barrel and gas block, sounds like good advice.
Kinda interested in trying a 3 gun someday, if the world ever gets back to normal.

Nice!!!! Sadly, I sold my AR. It was a retro Nam era rig, I miss it

 

[Dabbler]

I really miss my HK93, and now they are unobtainable. I've had to move on.

 

[Tom O]

I had a HK 93 back in the late 70’s beautiful to shoot but man could it throw the brass!,

Picked up the right length gas block tube. Blew it apart and installed the detent for the upper/lower takedown pin. Used this universal clevis pin trick to install that tricky front detent.
