My FAL arrived today.

Damn, that's the one I was eyeballin'. That's the 18", right? Beautiful.

Picked it up yesterday, but I FINSHED it today, presenting the gun to ruin all others in this thread


THE SOLID GOLD STALLARD

OMG - does that drywall lookin grip panel screw come standard, or did you add that custom?

delightfully tacky and tastefully pimptastic!

Stallards, much like their hi-point decedents use phillips head screws for the grips, though they're black, I colored the ones on the Solid Gold Stallard silver.

I picked up a few boxes of ammo. Prices are dipping and it does not hurt working in a gun shop.

I look at online local estate auctions now and again for fun. I saw this *shoebox of bullets* and won it for $11 and change. Good find.

Complete (but opened) box of 1918 frankford arsenal 45acp, two inert oerlikon 20mm HE anti-aircraft projectiles with 1942 date markings, what looks like a 20mm bore cleaning brush, random 1917 and 1918 45acp rounds made by winchester, US cartridge co, and rem-umc, some random 25acp rounds, and the best is a 45acp round made at frankford arsenal in april of 1915.

Did some research, the owner of the house where I got the ammo from was a captain in the army in ww2, pacific theater, a surgeon.

Very cool! Are you going to see if they go bang?

My shop had a little something waiting for me today that they knew I would like. A new 16" stainless Rossi 357 Goes nicely with my 16" Rossi blued 44 mag ! Tried some fancier pics with rocks and grass like some others - not very good though

I won*t lose any sleep wondering if they are still good. Maybe I will try a couple when they reach 150 years old. That*s only 46 years away for the 1917 rounds. I will set a google calendar reminder now.
