Parts organizing

[Shakey-and-twitchy]

My friends gun smithing shop was a pig sty And I am not any better.
i was reading Glen Zedikers book The competitive AR-15 and on page 150 he has a labeled parts box. Anyone familiar with this box?

sorry for the poor picture.
another item mentioned was a dry lubricant Friction Block. Anyone use a dry lubricant?

i Forget the name for a white marker to label magazines. I have been putting blue electrical tape for hi-power mags, white for cz ect.

now old pistol holsters De Santis, no clue to what some of these old antiques belong to.
Any tips on organizing ?

I believe the marker you seek is a UniPAINT marker...

Amazon.com

As for the box o' parts. Probably something like this however it is not cheap!

I would probably just buy a bunch of small parts kits from CMMG (Parts Kit, AR15, Survival Kit | CMMG - AR 15 and AR 10 Builds and Parts - https://cmmg.com/parts-kit-ar15-survival-kit) or BCM (Commercial AR-15 Lower Parts Kit - https://bravocompanyusa.com/standard-a2-lower-parts-kit/) and grab a Plano style divided box and label with the above marker!

Lol’d. You just described a small Plano tackle box I have kept AR parts in for years now.

I use Hornady One Shot case lube, a dry lubricant, to lube bolts in bolt action rifles and Ruger MK pistols.

I mark my magazines, tools, ect with paint pens.

Old holsters? I have a wooden trunk piled full of holsters and soft pistols cases. Every couple of years, I open it and find something I forgot I had...

That’s the case from Brownells. Wish I could just bye the Box.
i have lots of magazines that are now orphans.
wish I still had all my old toys but I cleaned them out when my wife was very ill and expected to have to a retirement home.
still I just got some Longshot so I can still reload until I can find vintage.
finding Savage pocket pistols may be a challenge.
sold H&R 999 unused will be impossible To get now.
ruger Aniversary ingraved in 45/70 will be imposable.
soon I will have to get out my collection of Bill Jordan holsters and give then a cleaning.
hornady One Shot sounds interesting for safe queens.
thanks

Ziploc bags with Sharpie ID... "Glock grip screws." Then tossed into the P or R-marked storage container... I'd do an actual file cabinet with part "files" per gun if I could.

X2 on bagging and tagging all small parts. It's the only way to remember what's what as time passes and the parts pile amasses. I have a metal pull drawer tool chest I keep all my parts in.

I organize my whole world with Plano 3700 fishing tackle boxes and cigar boxes.
