What Did You Do To Prepare This Week?

I got a bit of ammo this week. 2,200 rounds of .22 long rifle, 45 shotgun slugs and 3 boxes of rifle ammo. Also got a chance to inspect our firearms battery and do some maintenance (more on that tomorrow). I unpacked and inspected a bunch of stuff and much to my pleasure everything was as it should be. Going to finish the repacking as soon as I get to the store for some one gallon plastic bags.

I saw a couple M1 Carbines for sale.

Put a new collapsible buttstock on my AR. It took a second to figure out and getting that little spring in right and the plate down was annoying but it didn't take 5 minutes. My rifle is now nice and as it should be. Also that means I have a spare buttstock and buffer/ buffer spring lying around which never hurts.

Started using a Biachi 100 professional to carry my Glock 19. This deserves its own post at some point but to skip ahead a bit, if you like carrying IWB then order one. It is a very nice holster at a very good price.

Been making an effort to keep up with current events better. I have been off in the woods so much that it has gotten out of my routine. I try not to get all doom and gloom but it is good to stay abreast with current events. I don't need to spend an hour reading the news but 15 minutes a day is probably a good idea.

Merry Christmas!

It's a lot of work not to be "Doom and Gloom" If you look at the economy or politics.
I think we are hosed economically and possibly politically. But as individuals there is a lot that can be done. Ge Local is the best I can tell folks.

We are packing up and moving to another state where taxes are a bit lower, people are a bit nicer, and the overall cost of living is more in line with reality. Rawles preaches " vote with your feet". Let me tell ya' it's not easy and it's quite expensive but we did it. Right now things are a mess but in the long run we will be better off.

Merry Christmas TOR and family!!!! May God bless you and yours mightily and may He keep you all safe. Thanks for the awesome blog. It keeps us encouraged and informed.

Finally got around to purchasing a generator, also picked up four 5-gallon fuel tanks and some oil. Restocked the pantry with a trip to Costco. Picked up some more .40 ammo for the H&K. Stuck to my workout schedule this week. Oh yes, I added AC/DC's "High Voltage" to the music collection.

Getting my first AR, what would be the items for maintenance and clenaing you would buy????
