Discovered some considerate jerk had taken out my passenger-side taillight when walked out to the car to drive to work. No note or anything that I noticed, so somebody's a real class act. I drove to work fairly angry, and discovered as I was parking that I'd left my access card on the dresser. Awesome! Since I wasn't in a mood to turn around and retrieve it, I signed myself in, and resolved to pick it up over lunch, which I did do.
Managed to return a bug ticket as a non-bug (testers: read your documentation!), and managed negative productivity the entire rest of the day, without any great input on my own part. A ticket that was in peer review was returned for minor revisions (no worries), then wound up being shelved for discussion that will probably involve a near-complete rewrite. Yay! It only took a week and 16 pages the first time, so I'm sure it won't be too big a pain the second time. (Do I have a dripping sarcasm tag? No?)
I was able to get an insurance claim filed, and will be stopping at the local PD to file a police report covering the damage, because I can't do that over the phone.
I was doing better while I was sleeping through the clock radio playing the classical music station ...

Bushmaster is saying the FCG is pretty much all AR parts, so I've updated the post to that end.| [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink

Lotta gun stuff on my brain lately, though.
The ACR pricing has done a fantastic job of derailing my gun purchases for the year. At some point this year, I need an 870, but not buying an ACR frees up over 75% of this year's budget.
I'd kind of like to have another tactical carbine, but I'm not crazy about buying another AR-15, nor am I really stoked about the XCR, Sig 556, or any of the various piston-driven AR designs.
In the meantime, there's a list of gear that I want/need for a carbine and pistol course in August: lots of ammunition, a light for the AR-15, at least two more magazines for the pistol, magazine pouches for both, and I know I'm going to want a Camelbak or equivalent if I'm going to spend three solid days on the firing line in the Kentucky heat and humidity. I'd also kind of like some sort of MOLLE vest or load-bearing harness and extra magazine pouches, but only because I don't think I can keep my pants up without suspenders with all that junk hanging off my belt. If I'm going to be stuck with a belt and suspenders, I may as well go all the way, I think. This seems to be something of a rabbit hole.
If I don't buy a second AR, AR upper, or an equivalent rifle, I need to pick up an extra bolt and carrier and get it headspaced to my current upper. Might actually be simpler (if more expensive), then, to just buy a second upper. Not sure which outfit to buy it from, though.
First thing, though, is a light for the AR. Next, I think, is pistol magazines and a MOLLE vest or something similar.
