Guns and Blowin Shit Up!

Yeah....one of the reasons I altered the colors so there's no mixing this gun up with others. Also labeling the mags exclusively for 300BO use. And they are kept separately. Have the same process with my "AR-47", but those mags LOOK and are different anyway.
I noticed the stubby hexmag (shown in picture) is very tight in this gun. All my metal Duramag and even the PMAGs fall right out, but I have a couple of these Hexmag stubby mags that you have to pull them out. I stuck one in another receiver and its snug but will fall out of it's own weight, but not in this gun.
What's your 30 carbine look like? Is it an M1 Carbine and how old is it?
alta:
Ruger revolver. I had an M1 many years ago, and the stupidity of youth sold it.

Updated pic with the fore grip painted.
Gonna paint fill in the logo/etc on the red lower with either black or white paint. I think maybe white since there is a "ghost" logo on it.

Whelp, since nunya other rednecks are holding up your end here....I guess I will post again..
Shot some this weekend... put a red dot on the shorty Blackout pistol and dialed it in. Pretty happy with it. Certainly thumps the steel a hell of a lot more than the 5.56.
Shot some of my hand loads of 5.56; 62gBT bullet and Accurate 2230 powder. Very accurate. I was just playing around with this load, but it was very accurate in my "target" AR...(18" stainless barrel, Vortex Eagle 1-6x scope). 10+ rounds in less than an inch group easily.....but I'm only shooting at 40yds
We had 1" square shoot-n-see target squares and with about 15-18 rounds you could totally eliminate the entire square by stitching shots along the 4 perimeter sides. WOOT. Pretty satisfied with these being reloaded brass and 62gr bullet....little surprised actually. This shot better than some 69gr factory loads I have shot. Maybe it was just a good match for this particular gun. Also kind of hard to tell at 40yds, but he groups were really damn tight.
I have 69 and 75 grain bullets I was planning for my accurate loads, but haven't loaded any yet.
Although, when I cleaned the gun after, it was WAY dirtier than it should be with only 120 rounds through it. I'm hoping I just maybe forgot to clean the gun last time, but I don't think so. I'm pretty good about cleaning them before putting them away. Don't have any experience with accurate 2230 powder before now, but I wouldn't think it would be on the dirty side.

What 62gr bullets are you using? 62 the lightest I normally shoot. I have a bunch of 55gr ammo but that’s primarily for indoor range use.
