The barrel wrings in perfectly. The damned thing is so pretty it makes me cry. I can hardly wait till the rest of it is ready for blue. headspace nearly perfection itself. The go gauge goes and the no go gauge no goes.

I need to mess a bit with the shell carrier. Not too much, though, I don’t think. And the ejector leaves something to be desired. But again, not a dealbreaker. Photos sooner or later. I’m having too much fun playing. If I can get it to shoot well for me I’m gonna have something nice.

Made the mods to the bolt friday at work. Seems to fit OK. Have to do a little hand fitting.

Bolt and barrel fit together nicely. Have to get the barrel wrung in, and test the fit of the entire assembly- but I think it’s gonna be fine. Hope to testfire it next weekend.

Did tie rod ends on the Brotherinlaw’s van. Simple job, less crawling around than you’d expect. Inner tie rod ends, to be exact. A nice job- 10.99 each for the parts. Local store wanted $480 to do the job. Fucktards.

BIL helped me put up some badly needed trim around the garage door, and some painting. Huge deal to have him around. His wife, of course, is cooking here, which is insane tasty. Perhaps the fill not happening last tuesday was god’s way of telling me “Mangia! Mangia!”

Birthday parties for the family today. Damn, a lot of us are born in august.
