Broke Again (well, for a little while anyways)
Q: So what has Mallow been up to?
A: Spending his money on "stuff".
Yep, I'm made myself somewhat broke again through being interested in alot of things.
I went to an auction on the 26th with my dad and spent just over $500 on my own (my dad sort of bought me stuff, but he'll use it anyways, meh).
So what did I get?
Gun Bluing Ink
Several small k98 Mauser parts
RCBS cartridge case buffer
Hornandy shotshell reloading press
120rds 6.5x55 Swedish ammo
A can of maybe 180rds of 7.62x25mm soviet ammo
1905 Swedish 6.5mm Mauser (near mint condition)
Mossberg G4 single shot bolt action .410 shotgun (needs a new cocking knob, striker and spring)
3 boxes of reloading dies (.300 Win Mag, 6.5 Swede, and .222 Rem)
A nice wood box filled with old rifle cartridges (many are over 70 yrs old and still loaded)
Oh, and my dad bought me a smaller 24" tooling lathe (so I don't have to run the huge lathe to do smaller work, but it will turn up to 30" of bar/tube)
About a week ago I found an interesting little handgun for $50 and picked it up. It's a .25ACP semi-automatic pistol by FIE. Now the .25 ACP is by no means a man stopper, let alone more than a rat stopper, but I dont think I'd have a problem using this on a rat (it's amazingly accurate with it's little 2.5" barrel, and I'm getting 4-5" groups at 40m unrested with factory ammo). It magazine holds a modest 7 rds for it's size, and it has no more felt recoil then a .22, yet I can almost conceal it in my hand (it's easily smaller than my wallet).
Anyways, my classes are soon starting. I like watching move in day, it's insane (yes, I dont live on campus yet I went to watch the move in chaos/see what people might throw out becouse they can't have it in the dorms). My class schedual is good, but I have a 11:00 class that cuts into my midnight IRC time by a couple hours durring most of the week, and then work on saturday doesn't help (but it pays, and is kind of fun).
Well, I must leave more untill later, as I must be off (thanks to work in the morning).
