What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

I got some tactical socks, low drag underwear, and some compact modular reading material.

My gift to myself was a 1-4X super sniper sitting in an Aadmount and a Badger ambidextrous charging handle, though. I'd say I did pretty well.
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

I think I've got the new AIM dragbag - not opened the 70" long cardboard box yet! I've got my fingers crossed for a Borka too but will have to wait and see!

You must have some dirt on Santa.
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Nuthin just yet. I doubt it will be a new gear year for me.
I do have a birthday in about a month and that will likely be some reloading gear.

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

i got a atlas bipod, the only question i have is about the large knob on the bottom, what exactly does it do? i figured it would give you the 15 +/- cant or pan but the bipod doesnt seem to move. Please help or is this broke? Keep in mind that i havnt mounted it yet, just messed with it in my hand. Hope to hear from someone other than a smartass, hope all have a wonderful and Merry Christmas, Please dont forget to say a prayer and give thanks for our 2A rights.

They can be a little stiff when new. You need to mount it and it will work. That big knob is to put tension on the pan/tilt/swivel.

I got a new scope for my .22lr, and a holster from Galco for my Glock (new WI CCW thing), 5 Magpul magazines for my MWS, and a tube of loc-tite for mounting some scopes.

I envy your stuff hahaaha
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Family! All my kids are home, ranging from 6 to 20, and Santa has hit them hard! God has yet again blessed us with a gift of love.
Oh and I am kicking butt in a new pair of Under Armor Ridge Reapers and Red Head pants, as well as Oby tube, McMillan A5, Surgen BM and a action from Pierce eng. for a 300 win build laying strewn through the man cave!
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Oakley Split Jacket glasses with the monochromatic, the lens that get lighter and darker depending on sunlight lenses for shooting. Not bad for riding the Harley as well!
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

I got to wake up next to my wife, in my own bed, with my 9 year old, happy as a clam, claiming Santa has been here and we need to go down stairs and see. Fortunately for all of us, Santa is wearing camouflage clothing, combat boots, and standing post in a far off land, providing ME the opportunity, year after year, to enjoy my Christmas with my family.

A huge THANK YOU to all of you brothers and sisters out there serving our country, providing us the freedom to enjoy the holidays with our families. I pray that you remain safe and come home soon to be with your families.

Again, thank you!

The Colonel

+1. I think this is the best one yet. I got some nice things but nothing comes close to being able to spend Christmas with my wife and kids.
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Not so much gear as I did supplies. Got two different kinds of paper targets, cleaning patches, and solvents. Good to go for a while now. My wife or kids don't really know that much about what I need beyond that, so I am happy that I got what I got.

I asked for a new build rifle with these specs:

<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]The rifle had to be a hammer or a laser, even a hammer w/ a laser, but couldn't be a hammered laser.[/list]<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]Caliber had to be FLAT shooting and capable of taking dangerous game.[/list]<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]Optik had to be clear, accurate and repeatable.[/list]<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]wanted GAP camo or grey[/list]
This is what I got:

I couldn't be happier! Although I think the wife was confused on the color and instead of GAP or Grey, she opted for gay, or as I refer to it, DADT Digital. I'm sure the rifle is a laser, or a hammer, or both and will take any enraged animal on this planet. Not sure who the smith was, but there is a barrel stamp that appears to be a pile of dog sh!t. There are a few things I'd like to upgrade, can anyone recommend:
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*] trigger?[/list]<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]bipod?[/list]Does anyone know if dry-firing this rifle will break the electronic firing pin?
Thanks in advance, can't wait to take this beauty to the range. Merry Christmas to all.

Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Oh yeah, I forgot about my Shark suppressor......since I won't see it till sometime mid April/May I have kinda tried to remove it from memory.
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

Got myself a 16" 5.56 Noveske N4 barrel with a matched LMT bolt to use with the Seekins upper/rail I won off of here... Not too shabby. Gf got me the Magpul precision rifle DVD box set. Merry Christmas to me, and the rest of you assholes too I suppose.
 
Re: What new gear did you get for Christmas?

My sister got me a new Midway high-zoot shooting mat (sure will beat laying down on top of a cactus...) and my Mom/Dad got me an iPhone so the list of shooting- and ballistic apps will keep me busy (and broke) for a while.
