If it’s free floated you should be able to get a wipe/cloth between the barrel and foreend. I’ve used vehicle detailing brushes and high end paint brushes to get dust from other areas. We can get them pretty clean with an air compressor, but don't use it on the action, but it is tedious. An hour or so per gun. I'm thinking about getting a touch up spray gun with a stainless bowl. Even with brushes, it never gets them completely clean. We shoot hogs and coyotes from the road, so you have to be able to get to your weapon quick, which means they are kept in the open. When deer season gets here, I may keep it in the case and leave another gun in the quick draw rack. CHIEF

Maybe a sock on it that can be jerked off (phrasing) in a moments notice? Maybe one of those external mounted scabbards but leave end off. Hell I don’t know. Out of my sop there.
July 12, 20214 yr Just bag it in an umbrella bag or something and leave holes for the trigger, bolt, scope ends, etc. Wrap tape around areas like where the scope is so it stays put. Edited July 12, 20214 yr by NotActuallyALonghorn

Or one of those folding chair bags that might fit better over a bunch of attached optics.

July 14, 20214 yr Ordered a new Weatherby Accumark Pro in 300 Weatherby today, and a Sig Sierra 6 5-30 scope to mount on it. Going will Talley ring bases. I have the Sig rangefinding binos and another bdx scope and I’ve enjoyed it so far, so this will be interesting. Hopefully everything will be delivered next week and I’ll report further.

I hope you love it so much you can’t find any reason for your other one. Nice rig. Curious about the Sig optics, and would love to hear real world how you like it, specifically the glass.

Long range beauty right there. I love those horus (ballistic) reticles. Once you get your dope, they are money.

July 14, 20214 yr I’m a Brushy Bill believer so the data on the Pat Garrett pistol is inaccurate IMO.

July 20, 20214 yr As a P365 carrier, the 12rd mag is not that much more of an issue than the flush 10rd option. Now if you can stuff 15 into the 12......;)
July 23, 20214 yr Anyone interested in a Canik TP9SC elite?I bought one and the red dot is more annoying to me than I though. I went to the range with it once so 50 rounds through it. I think the color is tungsten. I have the other mag (12 rd) and the pieces you see here including the flush mount for the mag and the piece on the slide to replace the red dot. Not pictured is the plastic Holster that came with it. If you want more pics message me.

July 23, 20214 yr 50 rounds and you’ve given up on a handgun red dot?The subtle shakes in my grip are more obvious when looking at a red dot. I find it nauseating. I’d switch the red dot out for the replacement plate but it’d be my 5th subcompact. Which if it doesn’t sell it’s not that big of a deal.

July 29, 20214 yr Got lucky today - 4 boxes of 9mm @ Academy on Brodie (Austin).They also had .223 & .556 on hand, but I don't shoot those caliber.Bought my daily store limit.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
July 29, 20214 yr Ammo starting to come back in. Academy has been pretty good lately and bass pro in round rock was well stocked. 9mm is still tough, mainly because that’s what everyone wants. So it goes first. And fast. I snagged some 223 and 6.5c this weekend. I passed on some 9mm because I didn’t need SD rounds. I also found 400 rounds of 9mm that I had forgotten about. On another note……I’m really looking at trading my hellcat for a P10s. I’m a huge CZ fan and the p10s is such a fantastic feeling gun. It’s not a 365/hellcat competitor really……it’s too big for that. But I really like it. Anyone have one?

Good thing it's a defensive round, need to protect the expensive ammo. I need beer can plinking 9mm.

August 2, 20214 yr Remember Tex-Guns on Manchaca? That was the gun store I frequented. Always had a good selection of used guns. Now that it's gone, where should I go? Any South store with a good used selection?
