Snagged this of Marketplace yesterday.
Basically new.

I think I bought the same set a few years ago but in black. Ultimately I found the drawers are too deep to be really useful for machinist stuff, so replaced it with some US General boxes, then repurposed the Husky for general tool use, and for that it has worked well.

It’s replacing this which is well and truly useless.

I have several ARs that I built with NiBo bolts. I bought several bolts only, expecting to later (much later, apparently) use KG Gear Kote on the uncoated carriers. You are right, it makes a lot of difference on bolts and trigger parts.

I've got two uncontoured barrel blanks coming in tomorrow from Green Mountain with a .311 bore. One's going in to an AR/AK that I built that I took to the range one time to sight in. The barrel I bought was junk, the leade had huge burrs and cracked off chunks that would not go away with any amount of cone lapping. That's the last pre-made barrel I'll ever buy. It shot 3 inch groups and my friend was wondering why I was unhappy with it. Ignorance is bliss, man. The second bbl is for a field gun, 7.62x39 bolt action. I have a reamer coming in from the Ukraine to do those barrels with. I gotta get me some therapy, I build more toys than my wife says I need.

I am using Precision Ballistic' s barrels, 4140 with the same for the extensions, they have provided good service thus far where I have used them on other projects and are guaranteed to shoot Sub-MOA.

My wife is in the hobby with me; so she enables me, that isn't always a good thing. When I spend more than I should she is usually standing behind me encouraging bad habits.

My wife is more like, "Go out to the shop and get outta my way!" about it. And "You're gonna use that, right?", or "You need to sell some stuff you don't use."

No, closest equivalent is Princess Auto or Peavey Mart which are sort of similar but not the same as far as I can tell.
