Gun purchases thread.

Good to know Action Works does good work. I really want to customize my Hi-Power but I'm not sure who to send it to, or what I even want. Most people don't do older style upgrades which I think would fit my tastes better. You've got yourself a nice modernized classic there.

The Action Works absolutely does good work. I would wholeheartedly recommend Don for any work you want done on your Hi Power, given that he is very skilled, his turnaround times are (in my experience) short, and his prices are more than likely the most reasonable you are going to find for the quality.

I plan to get a new stock for my Norinco, some mags, and a new set of grips for the 459

Bought an Interarms Walther PPK in stainless steel. Not in the best shape, but I paid a fair price for it, and it wouldn't cost too much time or money to get the gun blasted and back up to 100 percent finish condition. I felt obligated to buy the gun after the shopkeep was such a bro to me in appreciating my knowledge and particular nature with handguns. The G rated version of what he said was that you have to be particular with "guns and women".

I can't seem to find a reliable source for Walther PPK mags or replacement finger rests, though. Anyone have any ideas?

Just puttin' the word out: there are a BUNCH of Manurhin MR-73's on gunbroker right now. Looks like someone got ahold of a lot of them

I noticed that too; if I had $600 lying around I would definitely get one, I hear those things are nearly indestructible.

I got 3 boxes of 124 Grain standard pressure Federal HST for the P228, one to fire and two to keep for carry. Got 2 boxes of 95 Grain Speer Lawman TMJ for the PPK as well, one to fire and one to keep.

I finally got my Ranger Belt too after nearly 3 weeks (better than the 4 week lead time on the manufacturers website, but still). I would be upset if the belt wasn't fantastic, and if LaRue Tactical didn't include a bunch of free swag including:

7 oz bottle of Dillo Dust dry rub

Beverage Entry Tool (Dillo shaped bottle opener, cute)

Business card with a very silly warranty anecdote on the back

10th Annual International Sniper Competition DVD

A quaint Happy Holidays card

3 Copies of the U.S. Constitution

And 2 Bumper Stickers that read "Extremely Right Wing" and "God Bless Our Troops, Especially Our Snipers", which I will not use, but appreciate

I am literally a set of grips and a range trip away from making the P228 a useable EDC gun. I totaled up the investment in the gun including magazines, spare parts, ammo and carry accessories, and lets just say I could have bought an AR-15 by the time I was done. A nice one. Worth every penny in my eyes. I plan on getting an EDC pic in when everything is together.
