Downrange TV has a review of the Ruger LCP up here complete with video.  Looks like they are also aggregating gun blogs through a custom RSS reader.  Cool.

Gun Pundit has a nice picture up of the Barrett REC7, which is a piston driven 6.8 SPC AR.  That reminds me that I really need to think about a dedicated lower for my 6.8 upper.  Right now I use my Bushmaster lower if I feel like shooting 6.8.  Another note is that my 6.8 is direct impingement, and the upper seems to get dirtier more quickly than the 5.56.  The load difference between the two is about 4 grains of power, but I would imagine the amount of gas directed back toward the bolt carrier should be similar to 5.56, so I might just be crazy.  If I’m not, I think it’s worthwhile to have a gas piston setup over DI if you can afford it.

Looks like Sailorcurt has joined the CZ-82 club.  I have to say, it’s the best pistol I’ve ever paid less than 250 dollars for.  Mine also came with some finish wear, especially that annoying chipping on the slide from the importation stamp.  I fixed that problem with some Birchwood Casey Super Black, which is basically like a magic marker, only it marks with paint instead of marker.  You basically dab it on, let it dry, then polish it up with some cloth.  It does tend to wear off after a while, so I’m not sure it would be useful on a grip, or something else that gets rubbed on, but it made the slide chipping a lot less noticable.

Looks like a three part series covering their Masada, The folding SMG, and their PDW:

Neat

Not a new concept in artillery, by any stretch, but there’s some great photography in this video:

Hat tip to my friend Jason for finding this one.

Mr. Completely refinished his own grips.  Looks pretty good!

Looks like GA precision does some fine work.

Defense Review has an article up here.  Not that it matters a whole lot, because thanks to Congressman Hughes, you’ll never own one.

Now that the present has been presented, I can tell you what I got her. It’s a CZ 452 Lux in .22LR. If you follow the link, you’ll notice that I wrapped it up with two NRA 200 yard targets, and used a sliced up 12 gauge shotgun shell as an appropriate bow. Here’s what it looks like:

Thanks to Traction Control for tracking one down and getting it to the local FFL. I also got her a Bushnell 40mm objective scope, the Banner series, but the rings I got her are too short for it, plus it looks like the CZ has 11mm dovetails. No worries though, I’ll find the proper scope rings at some point that’ll make it all work. After looking at the rifle in person, I think a smaller scope might be better for it anyway, in which case I might swap her the Bushnell for a smaller scope and use it when I finally get around to building my accurized 10/22 project.

Hopefully we’ll get to try it out sometime soon. I think it’ll shoot very nice. Bitter is more of a pistol shooter than a rifle(wo)man, so it was time to get her started. Everyone needs at least one rifle in .22LR, so I figured the 452 was as good as any to start her out with.
