What did you get for Christmas?

[rintinglen]

As the title suggests, let's share our pleasant surprises. Here's my combination Birthday/Christmas present, a Browning .380:smile:. I'll have to dig out my 356-242 and cast up some boolits.

[Pressman]

Snow that I have to scoop out of the driveway.

[jrayborn]

I got a Shuff's Mini-G rifle. Have to wait till next week to pick it up from my dealer...

[square butte]

Another day upon this earth with my beautiful wife who is simply the goodest human being I know . . .

[Hossfly]

A Henry in 45-70 I think. As its still in Ohio. Son picked it up yesterday at Vances somewhere around Columbus. They’ve been playing with it and sending me pics. Will get in spring when they come down.

[375supermag]

Hi...
Nothing gun related this year. I did get a new recliner, a spotlight and a lot of gift cards.
My son received an AR armorer's block, a set of gunsmithing tools and pin punches along with clothes and a lot of gift cards.

Wife got a lot of nice gifts and a lot of gift cards as well
Both Labs got a new chew toy.

Everybody has been well and properly spoiled once again at Christmas which is the norm.

My son tells me that I have some additional gifts coming via UPS or FedEx or USPS or Pony Express.

Handy !

[littlejack]

No firearms or firearm related objects. But, my wife got a brand new remodeled kitchen so she can cook delicious meals, so I can eat well, keep my strength up to make it to the gun club on a regular basis. Does that count?

[flyingmonkey35]

I got myself a quick change plate for all of my presses from in-line fabrication.

Time to re-orginze the bench.

I can't say what I got... :roll: :bigsmyl2: I can say someone very special made Christmas very special! :grin:

Little things aren't little at all. Come to think of it, they aren't "things" either!

Merry Christmas to all on Castboolits!

[bangerjim]

EDIT.....................

Things REALLY changed later on Christmas day! At 2:45pm the power grid in our section of town went down for almost 3 hours. So much for that 10# prime rib roast that just about went into the oven!!!!! And to top that off, the toilet in our guest room plugged up and overflowed, flooding the entire room with (used ! ) water 1/2" deep. So I spent the afternoon mopping up by flashlight and planning on what to do. Power finally came on and we cooked the roast. Best one ever, even though we ate at 8:00 PM!

Saturday, one of the sons came over and we removed the old toilet, (I) dug out the spooge plug that was the cause, and replaced the 30 year old toilet with the new high-end one the wife had been asking for, so she got a toilet for Christmas (in her "office" as we call it!) Thank goodness we still had two other full bathrooms to use during the entire mess.

------------------end of edit--------------------------




Nothing. The wife and I buy what we want when we want and do not worry about holiday or birthday gifts. The boys are coming over for dinner later (prime rib roast) and they will bring "stuff" from my list I gave them.

The only gift was another day of life on this earth.

[Bazoo]

Sixguns by Keith from the wife. A quilted flannel mat to lay my guns on when outside from mom.

[charlie b]

Labradar for me. Wife got a enbroidery/sewing machine. This is our 45th Christmas. Still sad since the kids are on the other side of the country and we haven't see our new grand-daughter yet.

[Woodbridge 30-30]

The wife bought me a year membership to the local gun club. I normally just shoot behind the house, so I'm looking forward to it.

My dog brought me half a squirrel, he musta been shopping at goodwill.

[Baltimoreed]

Bought myself an old 1924 Winchester Model 12 to make into a riot gun. It’s got a bad buttstock and a cutts comp so I’m not wrecking anything truly valuable.

Carry out only, covid restrictions you know.

Haha that dog ain't half bad :)

[Hickok]

RCBS 45-300-FN for my JM Marlin 1895 45/70. Flatter trajectory and less recoil than the 400+ gr boolits!

[Norske]

I got a red dot sight for my Marlin 1894 and a copy of Chamberlain Development's Cartridge Comparison Guide.

[Gunslinger1911]

Blue Smith 27, 4" pinned bbl, recessed chambers, used - not abused.

Well, I don't have it yet, don't even know where it is, not sure what it will cost.

Ghost of Christmas future said I'd find it - so there !

[Bad Ass Wallace]

Family all pitched in, so after 50 years of using an old press I have a new RCBS "Rockchucker" to play with!

[W.R.Buchanan]

I dropped my glasses and stepped on them last Tuesday so I got new glasses for Christmas. My Mom in Law got a new Mini Schnauzer Puppy which is the cutest thing you ever saw. I drove to Long Beach to pick it up with my new glasses on. .

[DHDeal]

I got a new Ruger Single Six Bisley 32 H&R earlier in the month and I'm busy accessorizing it. Who knows how far I'll end up going. I haven't even shot it yet as the USPS has been holding different pieces (that were sent off for work) in hock. At least DHL still delivers MP Molds most quickest...

[billyb]

We bought new recliners.. We are working on year 54 married, after dating for two years.

[Wild Bill 7]

Got a new Diana 350 magnum air gun in .177 caliber. Got it from Numrich gun parts. It’s a beautiful piece of work. Cannot hardly wait to try it out as soon as the range opens up again.

[uscra112]

Not what I got, but what 12-year-old grandson got. His mother (my daughter :oops: ) is an ultra-woke, anti-gun, Trump-hating hyper-liberal schoolteacher, but somehow hubby snuck a Red Ryder BB gun under the tree! Is this a sign, however small, that she's coming around? Maybe in another coupla more years, can I gift him a nice Weihrauch? (Don't wanna rush it.) Watch this space. . . . . . .

[godzilla]

Another day on this beautiful rock, I'm thankful for it.

[nelsonted1]

I'm happy with day.of.low pain, able to sleep and great mood! That was me today! When it gets right down to it one must see how wonderful life is! I was under a machine and got semi squished in 2001. I am easy to.please.being thankful that is��

Nice , what a great family you have.

[AndyC]

Nothing - I have no family in this country.

[Chad5005]

We had a great Christmas,got to spend it with my wife one of our sons,daughter and her boyfriend and one of our grandsons.my wife bought me a new air bow after my crossbow mishap this year273965

[dverna]

My two best friends came over...Peace and Quiet.

[jorg0370]

Santa brought me a RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure. Even better than that, I got to spend the entire day with my peeps.

[Harter66]

I got a new Husqvarna 450 chain saw as far as gifts go .

The real joy was finding a brand new 7×57 Savage barrel that has been lost for most of 5 years . What it was doing in Mom's house in the upstairs bedroom is beyond me . I also found another Uniflow attached to a cast bench mount . Dad's loading gear is spread around all over the place . Every time we dig into a closet or cubby we find something else .

I guess a barrel , a powder measure , and a new saw makes for a pretty good Christmas .

[kingstrider]

My staff bought me a membership to the local indoor range. Already have one so will be covered until April 2022.

[MrWolf]

I picked up my new Ruger 57 the other day. No 5.7x28 ammo to test it but the once fired and dies did get here. We had a nice Christmas. Spent another almost two hours on the phone with Verizon because they changed something on Christmas eve fixing something with my new iPhone 12 mini and I could not make wifi calls nor send texts to android phones. Very poor signal here. Long story short told me the wifi calling that I had working the last four years over three different phones was a fluke and to drive 50 miles away to a real Verizon tower and try some stuff. I tried. Ore stuff on my own and two hours later got it working again. Hah. Merry Christmas as the rest of the day was great.

[RKJ]

I got to spend Christmas day with my sons and grandkids, had a great meal but best of all I got to snuggle with my 1 month old Grand daughter. She is a sweetie and already has Pa wrapped around her finger.

Sounds like a sweet time , seems the older I get the more I enjoy my grandkids.

[Davy Sprocket]

A turkey choke for my 20 gauge. This morning Santa (a.k.a FedEx) dropped off a Mec 650 in 20 ga.

Daughter's family and my wife and I have ultra quarantined ourselves for the last two weeks so we could have an indoor Christmas day together. Best Christmas ever!

Got to see grandson's face light up with a new high end fishing rod and reel, same for granddaughter with new riding boots.

Had a long video chat with son and granddaughter in HI.

Didn't need material goods to make me happy.

[Jkrem]

A wonderful dinner party with 2 dear friends on 12/23, and brunch on 12/24 with our son and our daughter and her boyfriend and their dogs. Finally a peaceful Christmas Day with my wife and our Golden Doodle and all his new toys.

Bought a few things for myself during the month:

1. Burris 2x8 signature scope, bought on SS here.
2. Lyman 358425 two hole, bought on SS here
3. M1916 El Paso Saddlery holster bought on eBay

Feeling very blessed and looking forward to a better 2021 for everyone.

[jimb16]

2 feet of snow and a couple of new safety flares for the boat. I bought the flares for myself.......

[375supermag]

Hi...
A few days ago I mentioned that my son said that a couple of my Christmas gifts were still in transit.
Yesterday he picked up from a LGS a revolver that he bought off GunBroker for me.
An unaltered 3 screw Ruger Blackhawk in .357Magnum with a 6-1/2" barrel.
This is my second 3-screw...the other is a .41Magnum which is superbly accurate.
Can't wait to get out to the gun club and see how this one shoots compared to my other three Blackhawks in .357Magnum.

[sharps4590]

The best gift possible, another day to celebrate the birth of Christ. Next, another year with my more than precious wife.

Stuff that rusts and rots and thieves break in and steal....a Merkel O/U double rifle in 8 X 60R and a fully restored 1967 Morris Minor 1000.

[charlie b]

So, why restore a Morris Minor instead of something 'interesting' like an MGB or even an MGTD?

I like the Merkel though :)

[uscra112]

You can bring home groceries in a Minor. And at my age a Minor would be lots easier to get in and out of.

[LUBEDUDE]

I don’t recall seeing a M. Minor since the 60’s. One of our neighbors had a red one. I remember seeing a white one around town as well. I think those are the only two I’ve ever seen. So, I would say that that a 1967 M.Minor IS interesting.

[uscra112]

Grew up near Boston. Minors weren't as common as fleas, but there were a few around Cambridge. Always assumed that college types had brought them back after their year at Oxford. Wish cars were still as simple as they were.

Anybody ever see an MG Magnette? An older cousin was a car salesman - around 1964 or so he dropped by driving one. Let me drive it. It was nice. More upscale than a Minor. I never saw another one.

[Texas by God]

All five of us kids learned how to drive in Dad's little Morris Minor pickup. The clutch didn't release till the last half inch of travel and the brakes required pumping. No matter we were on the farm. I loved that little truck.
Just glad to be alive, I asked for no gifts( you know how that goes....)
I got some anyway!
