Did some Duracoating on a build. Just about finished on a MPi-AKS-74NK. It test fired just fine so it's a matter of letting the Duracoat cure more then reassembly.
Trying to rub the paint off of this thing.
One little ping at a time.

I'd llike to see how the duracoat looks if you have pics.
I love plinking steel. Fun stuff.
I just blasted a huge armadillo in the field. Probably 20lbs. First one with the .410 with 3-ball 000 buckshot in .444 Marlin cases. I nearly botched it. He was in the open and I put the laser on him, pulled the trigger "click" fumbled with the hammer block safety and 2 more clicks. He got under a big blue spruce near his burrow and I finally got the safety off--BOOM!, direct hit. As per the norm he flopped around and then right down the burrow!
I wanted to see what the 000 buck did on them but no such luck due to my comedy of errors.

I cooked some eggplant lasagna because my wife is diabetic and the pasta is a problem for her.
That is dinner for tomorrow and the other half is going in the freezer for another meal in the future!
Moved a scaffold in place for a long overdue home brew “gutter guard” before the leaves start falling!
Ground off the name that a guy had engraved on a S&W 29 that I am restoring, shortened the rear sight screw and checked the sight adjustment with a laser.
Then I shortened the rear sight screw on a S&W Model 28 and checked the sights with a laser!
Busy day!
You better get started on that gutter guard these leaves or coming faster than normalthis year
I just wacked a few bushes aka weeds and started repairs on my wheelchair trailer so not much to report today
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
Fabbing a target stand for 50yds. It will be like my others with a cardboard backer covered by a trash bag. Duct tape target dots and white duct tape patches it. Waterproof and easily replaced backer when it gets shot out.

Thank you sir. Pound them cold-bers.
I finished up and got my 96 Miata ready for driving to work this week. Weather is supposed to be nice.
Here's the pitiful target this one will replace. Even as sad as it looks the cardboard inside the bag is dry and it's been outside for at least 8 months. If I had put a board at the top it wouldn't have collapsed inward.
And here the new one is in place. You can see the 100yd stand behind it. I can shoot these from inside my garage.
