Waiting on a call from my FFL to pick up 3 LRB receivers from a group buy a year ago. They have been at his abode since Thursday last. That's what happens when stuff gets delivered during hunting season around here.

A bit wet out this morning so I added a NM stock ferule to one of my composite M14 stocks that do not usually use any. A little cut here and a nip there with a rotary file, a smidge of epoxy and I think we have it Watson. Set the ferule center of where the action moves and dropped it down slightly for 10 lb of draw.

Added a second coat of paint to a couple of USGI fiberglass stocks. These were one orange and the other red. Whatta Hobby!

Kinda off topic, but they are in your pictures. Whay HF receivers are those?

I have three R-390s sitting in my radio area. Still need to finish that up. In my former life I was a 05H20 by MOS.

That would be Collins KWS-1 transmitter on the bottom and 75-A4 receiver on top. My mos in the Corps was 6216 F4 Comm/Nav/Ident. Been a ham for 60 years now. Whatta Hobby!
