Old school chum Wayne was over the other day for a visit. It's been years. He brought with him the Polytech Legend I sold him about 1992. Still in the box, pretty as sin. Not even a scratch on the bayonet. It's been a long time since I've seen one. Back in the day he came into the shop with money in hand for an AK. I convinced him he must give me more than he planned so he could take one of the Polytechs home. He gave me $699.99 for it. Some on GunBroker are over 3 grand. He did good. He also has an unfired Glock 17 I sold him. I don't have enough money to buy something and look at it. The guns I bought in the same era are well worn by now.
I taught Riflescope Mounts 101 to four different classes last week. I made this board for a helpful visual. It has 1913 Mil Std, Weavers, tipoffs, see-throughs, Leupold Standards, Dual Dovetails, and a little bit of everything else. It helps the newer and unfamiliar folks a lot.
I'm filming some spots for Midwest Outdoors TV show tomorrow and had to swap scopes on a few guns. This Freedom Arms model 83 has worn an OPMOD EOTech for years, but I swapped the modified SSK mount and Weaver attachment for a Leupold Dual Dovetail mount and a VX-3 2.5-8×32 handgun scope. The Freedom Arms revolvers are arguably the finest production handguns ever made.

My Friend Chuck the Vet got a new M&P, and we're waiting for the new Nikon M-223 1.5-6 illuminated to get here. In the meantime I installed a Nikon Monarch 4-16. Chuck the vet’s new gun in progress
