Picked up something new today and figured I’d start a thread for others to share too. Doesn’t have to be anything big — ammo, accessories, deals you found, trades you made — if it’s gun-related, post it up.

What’d you find or buy recently?
 
Last April I purchased a Brown Bess. Because I had never had a flintlock prior, I spent almost as much on the accessories. I bought this boomstick mainly because I decided to join the local chapter of a SAR color guard unit.
 
Bought a Henry .22 lr lever action carbine about a month ago.

Octagon barrel, Large loop lever (I leather wrapped), skinner peep sight.

6.8SPC barrels came in last month, A gunsmith finished converting the bolt in my Ruger American .223 so I swapped barrels on it. Then the 400 Legend came in so I swapped barrels on it. The .223 conversion went to my son in law.
 
Recently - (2) Aero Precision short actions. One is a short action magnum that I put a 6.5PRC barrel on. My .20 Practical barrel is coming for the other action. I put two 6.8 SPC II bolt action rifles together a few months ago. All have the same 16", 1:7 twist, heavy barrel. The first one was based on a Ruger American .223. I had a gunsmith open the bolt face up to work with the 6.8 SPC. The second was "remodeled" from a new Ruger American 400 legend. I'm about done with load development for them. Bullet choices were 175 MKZ (that's why the 1:7 twist), 120MKZ, 105MKZ, and 85gr TSX. The 175's will be loaded subs and supers.
 
For my new Henry Big Boy Steel, a Burris 2X8X35 scope, Burris Z rings, an extended hammer spur, and a Ranger Point Precision trigger kit. It's a nice little carbine, too bad it comes with a hard trigger pull. I have no trigger gauge, but I would bet that it's over six pounds.

I put that trigger kit in this morning. About a 15 minute job turned into a little more than that but I got it together. The trigger feels much better now !
 
Picked this up from the "For Sale" table at the TMLRA state championships this year for $350.00

.40cal Lancaster style Flintlock, unknown builder, 42" swamped barrel, Siler lock, probably a 1970's build, took 3rd place with it shooting offhand with it at state championships, first time shooting it, with no load development. 😳

Nice rifle looks like a poor boy from Dixie gun works I have the same one in percussion shoots better than all my t/c
 
I picked up a used Greboe Renegade stock for 700 long action, came with Remington bottom metal for a good price. Probably use it for a 300 PRC project in the near future.
 
Picked up another .50 caliber t/c Hawkins like new at a show for $150 then had a elderly neighbor ask me if I was interested in a Remington 25-06 I told him I just bought another Hawkins needed to watch the money he said no you can just have it he said he had no use for it and no one to leave it to he's 83 the rifle was like new with the original Leopold scope on it he said his dad had given it to him I don't know if it has ever been fired well it has now lol but when he gave it to me I don't think it has been
