I'm starting to think I have an addiction to sick and homeless guns not to mention the fact that at any point in time several of my firearms needs repaired.

I have a S&W 629 that needs a total rework esp on the broken hammer stud and worn trigger stud

A 1911 with 2 slides...one that has no sights and the other which is stainless and looks half ass when polished.

A 50BMG barrel sitting in my bedroom waiting on the rest of the steel to get here to finish the build (done by end of month I hope)

A Ruger BH that has a half ass V notch for a rear sight and a file job for a front sight...shoots about 18" high...new sights will be ordered next week. All the aluminum on it is in the white

An .458 Win mag that needs a new front sight

A H&R 999 that needs a new rear sight....Lost it while hip shooting

A 625 that needs a heavier main spring from light pin strikes in DA (it has a reduced in it now and a factory spring is better but not enough)

A 1903 Springfield with a cracked stock and needs prolly another 5 hours of stock work so it wont crack anymore. And shim the recoil lugs.

A 69 Cugir that needs either a barrel liner or a new barrel (looking at a anchutz match barrel to replace it with :bash:)

3 Mauser actions that need bolts and trigger guards, barrels and stocks. (not rebuilding these....one is gonna be a sniper rifle the others are going to be big bore guns)

Ummm k I think thats it.....please tell me I'm not alone in having way to many irons in the fire.

Still waiting to finish up my Finn M91-- just waiting for the rear band

Winchester model 12 totally tore down- awaiting finish for stock and slide

Most of my others are done now

but I have had plenty of irons in the fire before

Just don't let them turn into hangar queens:icon_neutral::2pistol:

Hay I got six ak kits, two receivers plus six compliance parts set, and havent built a one, a L1a1 kit plus receiver and some parts, a 1919 kit, plus a really nice cz50 pistol that needs a fireing pin, to become my girlfriends pocket pistol. So alas dont feel so bad. These dont even include the twenty or more guns I havent shot yet.

I have a Sten in pieces, 2 G3s in different stages of completion, an FR8 torn down while I contemplate replacing the stock, and one 1919a4 still in parts.

I've got my 1919 and mg42 built but have yet to refinish either of them. Hopefully I can by the end of summer. I started bringing in small projects to work so I have something to do in the down time.

For the first time in years I don't have any projects going.
I tend to be a bit obsessive about builds or projects.I have to get them done as soon as possible. My wife says I'm like a dog with a bone.
