I got a gift card that puts me a step closer to a really expensive rifle I want to buy.

What gun related gifts did you get? Pictures please?

Merry Christmas all.
 
Like jdh, more credit card debt than I would have liked.

Gun related, was a new cutter for my Forster classic case trimmer (the old one was 25 years old) and some MTM ammo boxes for some primed brass I should never have bought in the first place.
 
I have the funds for a new Winchester SXFOUR shotgun now. But the bad thing is if I save it I am that much closer to a Mausingfield action for next spring. Decisions, decisions... the best kind of problems!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas morning, just like @Chuck R. and I did. Now, I'm off to Christmas dinner! ( My favorite part!)
 
I got my 13 year old son an upgrade. Got a Clark Customs barrel for an old Smith & Wesson model 41. It took a little father and son gunsmithing under the Christmas tree with a pattern file, but we got it to a nice snug fit on the old Smith. Topped it off with an Ultradot red dot sight. We are headed to the national forest this sunny afternoon. He competes in 4-H shooting sports in small bore pistol and rifle and also archery. Smiles all around.
 
I was going to get a Judge ,but the wife said she knew I wanted money,an gave me $ 500.00.Now the beauty of it is my birthday is NYE,and she always give me money, because she don't like to buy me something that I may go alone with, but she knows I really don't like it. I'll be posting a pic sometime in January,of my gift! Merry Xmas to all.
 
I bought a PSA AR-10 lower the week of Thanksgiving. Today for Christmas, I received the complete matching upper (18" 308 1-10). Now pondering what direction I want to go with my optics.

Nothing overly fun gun related.
My dad did include the original foregrip for the 16ga Stevens side-by-side that I'm working on replacing the barrel on. I've found expensive barrels and receivers, and less expensive barrels with slight bulges near the choke. Even if I have to cut it down and do a little gunsmithing, eventually that will get back to him.

I saw the sunrise this morning. It was a beautiful sight to see. I walked in the crunchy cold new fallen snow, as I shut down the aeration fans on my grain bins in the dim light od dawn. I thought to myself that I would be happy if I didn't receive a single gift, I feel blessed to live in this country with my entire family so near and healthy.
I was surprised to see a gun shaped box under the tree for me. A surprise from Mrs farmer, and our kids.
They also got me some good books....and THE Good Book.
 
I'm very curious to know your impressions of the Vedder. I have been considering one for a while.

I have a Vedder light tuck for a CZ-75 Compact, I really like it. Vedder isn't known nearly as well as I think they should be.

On topic : I got a Bushmaster XM-15 E2S. .223 Rem 1/9. It's a North Richland Hills PD surplus patrol rifle with a Surefire light and mount.

Sweet gifts, including the books
 
Had a VERY cluttered pce of plywood on top of a spare pce of WW'ing equipment (old jointer).This was my cleaning station.Been that way for 10 or so years.Kind of like a junk closet....never could keep it organized.

So,told all that they could pool money and get me an on sale,52" Lenox roller tool bx.

I custom painted it,and got all my shooting stuff in it.Great present,very thankful.And just as nice,one of my sons is setting up a wood shop at his house and was tickled to get the jointer.Win Win.
 
I bought myself 200 rd 9mm and 100 rd .38 special on sale from Freedom Munitions. Sister sent $50 and along with safety bonus from work may buy a SD9VE or Ruger 9E.
