Soooooo, the AR-12 showed up today. Was a bit surprised to find it was an AR-12 base but had a 3lb barrel instead of the 12lb barrel. Chalking this up didn't ask enough questions and being unfamiliar with said product, I didn't differentiate between the two barrels. My sweet deal wasn't as sweet as I thought.
Soooooo, I look for a replacement barrel. No 12 pounders we're to found for less than $200. Looked for Lortone barrels, out of stock, even from Lortone.
Found a Rebel 17 barrel shipped for less than than Thumler 12lb barrel. Ok so now I will soon have a complete functioning unit. Ok cool.
My wife looks up Thumlers units and had a conniption over the prices. I show her the Rebel 17 setup and I now have a spanky new Rebel 17 on the way.
So what does a fella do? He contemplates canceling the order for the barrel. Then said fella thinks about the 12+ pounds of agate that will take months to grind out and the little devil on shoulder says to keep the damn barrel for long runs and still have the other for everything else. Guess who won that argument.
The AR-6 is due in soon so I'll have 4 3lb barrels, 1 9lb barrel, 2 15lb barrels and a 4lb vibe. I think I'm good now.
On a side note, other than realizing I'm still young enough to do something not overly bright, I'm going to challenge myself to something that may or may not work but could be fun.
In my mom's declining years with Alzheimers, she saved literally everything. I was digging in a storage building yesterday and found a plastic qt Mayo jar. I want to attempt a full start to finish tumble with the mayo jar.
Probably going to fail but doing it anyway. Can't be worse than my deal shopping,🤣🤣😉
He says "I think I'm good now"!
Let me fix this for you...
"I think I'm good FOR now!"
I will bet practically anything you're hooked to the point there WILL be more purchases! LOL
(Trust me...I am WELL experienced with fixing that statement about myself! LOL)
