I got the FDE Magpul MOE X-22 stock for my AMT (10/22 clone) I asked about the other week
I also found a SS threaded lightweight barrel, for less than it would cost to have my .920" bull barrel threaded. I received enough cash to cover it, so it's been ordered. I could have gotten a threaded SS bull bbl for the same price, however, knowing how heavy the .920" bbls are, I decided to try the slimmer profile.
The stock AMT barrel is a 20" carbine contour. The aftermarket .920" is an 18", and is one HEAVY sunny beach. So the skinny, threaded 16" is how I'm going with it.

Even with the steel receiver, I'm hoping for a rig under 5# with a loaded mag, scope, and my RF can attached.
According to Magpul's website, the MOE X-22 only weighs 18.9oz

So, let's hear about your firearm/shooting related gifts

Absolutely! This is a handmade quilted rifle case made in rural Montana. Seriously a handmade quilted case!!

Something else in the works but that’s for later

WOW, gorgeous <3

I got a new Winchester 45LC 1982 carbine and a new Pieta 22WMR case hardened SA revolver...

Sweet

I might order myself an another thermal scope for “Christmas”.

And a 6ARC Barrel.

Cool, on the thermal.

As invested as I am in the Grendel, the ARC just doesn't make the little tractor go "vroom" for me. To each their own

18" 300 B/O upper. I have test loads ready in weights from 110-180gr. Should be a fun bullet waster

I'm a huge fan of Hodgdon's Li'l Gun for most of my 300BO loads

Yeah, it or H110/W296 seem the most popular. Have to go find some. These are loaded with IMR 4227 just because I had it on hand.

Two M1A mags from Dad. He gets it...

Another Christmas has came and gone still no Dan Wesson Pointman ... oh well

Well I did get myself the 3 handguns I posted as Christmas gifts. Wife spent all her money on Jeep “parts” for me to build my Overlander Camping vehicle. Pics of Phase 1 coming in the next few weeks.

I did get a pair of stags for the Ruger .44 spl Vaquero and I’m taking the wife shopping for a new compact 9mm for herself for Christmas in the next week or so.

I guess this is “gun related” since it’s now EDC. A few years back I started carrying another version of this ultra slim design and slowly it has just about taken over as my EDC SD blade of choice.

Well my wife decided as one of my Christmas gifts to upgrade the one I own and love with absolute perfection (for me)!!!

Spartan blades NEMEC Carbon Fiber Folder. This knife has it all. It disappears in any pocket or IWB and weighs nothing, just over a freaking ounce!!! No huge clip that everyone can spot mikes away and the clip is reversible, a drawback of the original. The blade is a good steel that comes out of the box SCALPEL sharp, the way a SD knife should be. Deployment is as fast, in fact even faster than anything else I’ve ever owned including automatics, and open and close is an easy one handed operation. Not a cheap knife but well priced for the quality and materials and worth every dime my girl spent on it.

Specs:

Blade Length: 3.5”
Blade Thickness: 0.125”
Overall Length: 8”
Blade Steel: Premium CPM S35VN
Blade Hardness: 58-60 HRC
Blade Style: Folding-Straight Back-Flat Ground
Blade Finish: Tumbled or Black PVD
Frame: Liner Lock, Sculpted Carbon Fiber
Weight: 0.124 LBS (0.040 LBS less than Ti Version)

Check's in the mail...

Nice blade! very similar in overall shape to the CRKT C.E.O I carry. Mine is not nearly as light or quick or probably as sharp but I love the shape. They make a flipper version of this now that I think would be quicker than the thumb stud this one has.

I got a tlr 7 for the primary carry gun. Very nice! I like it way better than the tlr 1 it replaced.

I may or may not have given myself something like this:
I may or may not have taken it to the range today...

That may be a nice pistol.

If I had one, I'm sure it would be (nice)!

Not too much but my son got me a small backyard reset target..

Should come in handy as I gave him a vintage pellet gun.

I Got some cash. Trying to decide what to spend it on…
