How’s the BARF Militia doing?

FYI, CalGuns is now fixed and operating correctly.
 
My collection of targets, for watering of the weeds.
There is a tree stump where I can launch milk jugs, about 6 feet and get me wet when they shatter.
Juice bottles made of lexan, don't shatter, just hole, tougher stuff.
I can get a level to slightly elevated shot for them to fly this way,
Depends on the load # 7 1/2 shot will do this from 20/25 feet away,# 6 shot goes thru, little movement.
My Mariner, soon to be replaced, with a first Gen. Aftershock, Lil' Blastard, a spin on James Dean's cars' name,
All that targeting plastic fit in the 5 gal bucket, recycled

I am waiting to clear some stuff up and then I will be going on a new suppressor spree. I am thinking a big bore SilencerCo 46M that can go on my PCC and rifles with an ASR QD mount for all and then I can move my Octane45 back to being a pistol only can as it is living on my PCC right now. Haven't been shooting a lot either between work travel and face melting heat/humidity down here in the swamps but the weather is cooling off and we are having a ton of family from CA coming down for daughter's wedding in November so may take them out and show them some non-CA compliant fun.

My guns feel very very neglected.

I blame ammo prices, considering I'm super duper trigger happy.

Same, probably over a year since I went shooting last. Being near SFO, the lack of ranges nearby is a also a major factor because it eats up so much time to drive.
 
I did get some sticker shock, my last shopping trip, 45-70 way up in the $60. for 20 rounds
Glad I have something that gains in value, a collection of different bullet weights/powder.
12 gauge, is still found @ $15. a box of 25. Fuel for my new blaster.
 
My new toy, like this version over the Mariner, shorter without the pistol grip, and the auto load makes it easy.
What 12 year old boy wouldn't want a blaster, or could afford the ammo for it ?
My 75 th birthday present, allowed to own in Az.
I did water the shooting area with 12 gallons, insure the greenery stays green.
I did get a first gen, only available from Sportsman Warehouse, second gen seems sold out, already waiting for third with a real stock too.
Walmart has Fed trap loads for $11. @ 25 a box. the cheapest,

Man suppressors are now available on 4473s only now. So tempting but wouldn't want to expose myself to possibly unregistered NFA firearms if the next president decides that they now want to regulate them. Will probably still go the Form 4 route as that will be legal no matter what but still won't have to pay the NFA tax stamp but still need to do fingerprints and trust.
 
Requalified as Project Appleseed Pistoleer last weekend in Red Bluff.
Looking forward to the possibility of the Pistolseed clinics coming to Concord.
 
They're had it for a few years.
Last year, it went through a massive overhaul with what they call a "rebluing."
I attended the California instructor boot camp in January, and had a chance to work a shoot in Sacramento in September.
Officially, I'm not an "instructor in training" yet, due to some strange decision that only full (red hat) rifle instructors would be focused on this year.
Unofficially, I still worked as an IIT and taught a couple of sections in Sac.
We gained a new shoot boss this year, who is considering bringing the Pistolseed course to United Sportsmen in Concord.

If anyone is interested, I'll keep BARF updated.
I can tell you from personal experience that your marksmanship will absolutely improve.
And you'll have fun doing it.
 
CZs sure do look sexy but for some reason haven't pulled the trigger. I do want another Canik, possibly a Rival for some USPSA action or just keep rolling with the M&P9 FS.
 
I did some grip swapping, pumps & autos share the mounting shape, up to a point.
There is a difference in length of pull, one or two fingers between end of receiver, and trigger guard.
The pistol grip has a kind of spacer, to take up this gap, I blue taped it, grind this off it would fit the auto.
Shoulder stock is too long for me, with the pump, I did shorten it 1 1/8 inches, it is too short with the auto.
Trigger hand hits my nose, but I can use the front sight, shoots a bit high, short range.
Different loading capacities, minis do shoot in the auto but don't cycle or jam, they work better in the pump.


Black powder signal cannon, bigger boom, 2 oz of boom juice recommended, :teeth
Someone left their targets, slightly vented, I left them fully flattened.

Drove into VOC and disgorged the mini for a mail run into Sedona, & dinner & Jose's Cafe,
Dang good muchaca omelet, this one thick with meat.
Havin' a good day, , ,

I just got my fingerprints done digitally so that I can now take part in the great $0 dollar NFA tax stamp event going on. Looking to pick up some more whisper pickles and maybe throwing some more lowers on a Form 1. Want to get a dedicated 22lr one for my Winchester Wildcat so I don't have to swap between pistol and rifle. Also a large bore multi cal pickle like the SiCo 46M so I can put the one on my 9mm PCC on my pistols where it belongs and just use my SiCo ASR mounts on all my rifles and PCC.
 
Boy I went to a Gun Show down here couple of years ago.

$30 to get in, another $20 to park.

Just wasn't worth it.

Oh, and I think only 4 tables had folks actually selling guns. The rest was all "gun show stuff".

I miss the huge Pomona show from days gone by.
 
$8 with flyer, free parking.
I did get another green laser, more like a carpenters pencil, flat, 3/4 inch wide, and shaped to stack pic rails, on it.
Need a one hole M-Loc / short pic rail adapter,

I do miss buying bulk ammo from Cal Expos gun shows, cheap reloads, .223 and .45 longs, bring a hand truck.

seeing as you live in AZ check online there are always some good sales delivered directly to your door especially if you can find it with free shipping
 
Well everything is done and paperwork is submitted waiting on review, some docusigning, and then its however long the ATF takes to approve. Have been wanting to get a Huxwrx flow through can for a bit and this one will eventually find its way home to me. It's a 3D printed Huxwrx Flow 36Ti. It's HUB compatible which means it will fit in my existing QD muzzle device ecosystem and it can be used on all my rifles and my 9mm PCC.
