The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

Good morning CZers….

Morning folks!

Today, I'm breaking with my usual EDC setup and going back to the trusty P07.

My P07 was on my hip all day yesterday…

Morning. Been busy with projects. Completed the optics milling plate fixture and confirmed its success on a few guinea pigs. It might not look like it, but there are countless hours of engineering involved in this plate and the custom made vise toe clamps.

 

[T-DOGG]

Putting feelers out if anyone is interested in some optics cuts at a discounted introductory rate. Or any other slide work you may want done, such as design cuts or ports? I am growing my skillset and looking for new challenges.

Also accepting requests for custom metal art, wood burning signs, or anything else you think I might be worthy of.

*Disclaimer: I am not looking to take business from AllenM, but I do think there's plenty of room that I can add something of value to the community. I am not an FFL currently and cannot legally work on the "firearm" portion of someone else's gun without them being here in person (firearm = serialized part, typically the frame on most handguns).

Also, I was thinking that it might be a worthwhile investment to pay the $300 to become an Ingo advertiser and get my own area to help sell my artwork and other stuff. I don't want to flood the classies or muddy up this thread all the time. Thoughts on that?

I would give that a go. Reaches a pretty big audience for a low price and if it doesn't work out after the year it's good for, you can choose not to renew.

A level even I can see.

The BDX scope that I have on the Sig 716 has led level indicators in the optic. Those are handy to have right in the view

What's your ROI going to look like? $300 is not an insignificant sum and it might take a bunch of art sales to make up that investment. For the gunsmithing, you want to be careful that you don't present yourself as a business until you've got your FFL in place. For the non-gunsmithing stuff and other random machine work, it might help but only you can say if the ROI makes sense.

I don't know how to predict a ROI on something like this, because I don't know how much stuff or work I will sell.

Interesting thought on the FFL part. What would be the concern of being a business doing work on firearm accessories/parts, but not the actual firearm itself? I don't know if I can get my FFL where I'm at, haven't pursued that yet. There's a whole process with the city zoning dept. I have talked to them about it though.

Barb has started to recover from what I hope was food poisoning. She's currently upright and has kept a scrambled egg down for a half hour or so. Was a rough night for her. I have to run some errands for her and make chicken soup this afternoon.Dinosaurs still walk the earth this morning. That piece of cattail at the front of the shell is about 3/4" wide.

Very cool .... and would gladly snap your finger clean off your hand !
Aquatic reptiles were our first living beasts.

 

[MindfulMan]

And it sounds like poor Barb has the same thing that my wife had over the weekend.
Best wishes to her !

 

[ChrisK]

There is some pretty nasty crud going around right now. It's lasting up to 5 days for some people.

 

[wtburnette]

Hope Barb continues to improve.

Hope Barb continues to improve.

Thanks guys. I'll convey the well wishes.

and make chicken turtle soup this afternoon.

I’m sure that’d go over well on a woozy stomach.

Hope all get to feeling better.

 

[Leadeye]

Cap and ball morning today, more work with the heeled bullets.

 

[zachcz]

Before I order and pay the crazy shipping, does anyone have a cgw floating trigger pin laying around or does anyone in metro area need anything from cgw they’ve been holding off on ordering bc of shipping like me thst I can place one order and we can split shipping to make it reasonable

I cleaned a snapping turtle. . . . . once. Smells worse than the inside of a gut shot deer. Not something I want to repeat.

Sorry about the cruddy picture I'll reshoot in the morning and then I'm off to the range.
