  1. Hey guys... no harm in asking!   We are still moving forward.  I had one prototype made and it frankly looked horrible.  The engraving service was proving hard to work with so I abandoned them and have started working with another.   Hope to have word this week!  :)

  2. An Army Ranger, a Recon Marine, a Navy SEAL, and a member of Delta Force are sitting around a camp fire. The Army Ranger, bragging about his exploits says "You guys aren't so tough, I once parachuted down, marched fifty miles, and killed everyone in sight." The Recon Marine is unimpressed, and says, "That's nothing, I once made a beach landing, marched 60 miles, and killed everyone in sight." The SEAL is unimpressed, he says "That's nothing, I once swam 10 miles to shore, marched 70 miles, and killed everyone in sight with my bare hands." Thoroughly impressed, they all look over at the Delta Force member, and he's dead silent, just stirring the coals of the fire with his d***.

  3. Sorry, but this is nonsense and you sound exactly like the typical H&K "my firearm is better than yours" guy. So if 0W20 synthetic oil works just as well as your "gun oil" it's still inferior? What do I know, I don't own any of them fancy weapons. Only ones that will run on engine oil.

  6. This one is for a Benchmade 162 Bushcrafter. It has loops for the Exotac ferro rod and a ceramic sharpening rod I put together for the sheath. I have black steel hardware on the way so all the silver will be swapped out soon. I took the advice of others and made the drop loop removable, so it could be worn high on the belt or horizontally. With the D-rings, it has a couple of lashing points as well. There is a big thick welt on the blade side that roughly follows the stitching. What design tweaks should I make for the next one? I think I am going to make some minor changes to how the loops attach on the back, and the D-ring on the bottom will be attached differently. I placed the loops for the ferro rod and sharpening rod to the rear to make the face of the sheath more streamlined, but I am wondering if I should move them to the front. Like the previous prototype there are some minor flaws with the stitching and cosmetics. Suggestions are appreciated.

  7. I bought a new Tikka 204 Ruger as a lightweight walking around varmint gun, but it came with the nice wood stock. I wanted to shed the weight of the wood as well as try my hand at trying to Camo a stock. I was able to get a takeoff T3 Lite stock on ebay for $45 so it was now just down to a Hydro printing kit or spray paint. I really wanted to buy everything to hydro print as I like to play with things like this, but in the end, my $30 in paint won out. I have to say, I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I don't even really care if gets scratched for no more than I have in it, and a scratch will only blend in. Anyway, if you have ever wanted to try it, it's pretty easy. My results.

  13. I drank the Frog Lube kool-aid and wasn't overly impressed.  I've started using a blend of automatic transmission fluid and 5w30 motor oil.  If they are good enough for the high friction, high temperature, and high pressure conditions in a vehicle, I figure they are more than sufficient for keeping my guns lubed up.

  16.   That's what I mean when I wrote my angry one-liner. Anyone beating on the elderly, women, children, frail, sick, handicapped are such deprived, soul-less bags of dirt that have no chance of being rehabilitated. I can understand anger, but once he confronted Bobby, any last bit of remaining morals should have caused him to pause. Apparently that wasn't the case. Total lack of self-control, total lack of morals, total lack of anything that makes humans human. May he rot in prison for the rest of his pathetic life.   My condolences to Bobby's family.

  19.   Because of the circumstance of him having a stroke, sadly a DA can't prove premeditated murder. My hope is that he will at least serve the maximum for manslaughter. The POS is 53 so 30+ years in a prison he's likely he wouldn't leave unless it's in a box. Also sadly he would probably make a plea deal and only get about 5 and probation.    Also it should have been obvious to the POS that Bobby was an old man, it's takes a real piece of human garbage and coward to attack someone who you know can't physically defend themselves.

  24. good read: Last month Andrew Tuohy published a blog post comparing FrogLube with two other lubricantsTrackLube+ (a rollercoaster lubricant) and Seal1, another gun lube. He commissioned a infrared spectroscopy analysis of the three lubes and found they were virtually identical chemically, despite being different in color and smell. Meanwhile Schnips at North Eastern Shooters was also investigating Floglube. He asked his brother, a Chemistry PhD student at UConn, to run at IR Spectrometer over Froglube and compare it to other oils. They discovered that Froglube is coconut oil plus a small amount of additives. Aside from the obviousFroglube smell, forum users speculate it also contains additives to prevent the oil from solidifying in cooler weather. Coconut oil has a relatively high melting point of 76 degrees (24 celcius). http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FrogLube_v_CoconutOil.jpg

  27. Congratulations! Investing in your health is the best investment you can make. In your line of work, it's especially hard... not that I know first-hand, but I've heard about the lifestyle of musicians.    I'm mostly a runner, but I work out 4-5 times a week at Franklin Strength in Cool Springs. It was hard the first month and it's still "hard" but it is so much fun. Since I'm 68, most everyone is amazed that I can handle the workouts, but it's because I've stayed physically fit since I left high school.

  32. I hope we see more and more of this type of thought spreading across the country. I see nothing negative about it. I like most don't think I would make it mandatory but I would damn sure make it as option for those employees that do choose to carry and be armed as long as they have the proper training and common sense................jmho

  34. I *have* carried my 5" Pro a couple times, but only when way out in the sticks, and kinda' just for fun. I also have a regular 4.25" fullsize, a compact, and a Shield. I carry the Shield probably 85% of the time, the compact 12%, and the fullz size or Pro once in a blue moon. 97% of the time I'm concealing. The 3% are woods walks, etc. To boil it down, the only real difference (for carry) is .75" of slide between the full size and 5" Pro. Grip and mags are exactly the same. If you like carrying around a gun that big anyways, is .75" a deal breaker for you?

  40. Anyone ever consider that maybe Trump is in the race to split the votes between him and the republican nominee. He has said he will run as an independent, which hurts us more than Hillary, if he does not get the nomination. That alone tells me he is not loyal to anyone and will only go the direction that best suites him. Also, I find it really hard to believe a native born New Yorker can have an ounce of conservative in him. Look at those he socializes with to see where his true colors are. People socialize with like minded people.   I can tell you I am voting for Cruz and I will not vote for Trump. How many candidates have you seen shooting? Shooting machine guns? Cooking bacon on the barrels of "assault weapons? That's right, none. He is a Constitutional lawyer that has fought for gun rights. He was heavily involved in the Heller case. He is still fighting for us so for that reason alone I will vote for him. He also wants to abolish the IRS and our current tax system. He wants to fix the immigration system without giving them amnesty.   There are a lot more reasons to like Cruz than things that are wrong. I was critical of him the last time I spoke of him. Now I see and now I want Cruz to be president. He has a long history of supporting the Constitution.   If nothing else just read an unbiased history of what all he has done in his life. If there is one candidate that is for the people it is Cruz.

  41.   Or cars or baseball bats or...  How far can the list go?   Although I do feel for them, I doubt the plaintiffs' loss and pain, is a consideration at all.  They are just being used to advance someone else's agenda... and to give a bunch of lawyers a huge payday if they can pull this off.

  42.   I know Tennessee needs some improvements but I am very thankful I don't live in many other states. It's a shame the man/victim in the story was old and in fragile health, if he didn't have the stroke he might have been able to save himself and rid society of a scumbag.

  43.   Tactically it's a good idea to keep your doors locked, just keep that in mind in case you need a quick exit of the vehicle but, weather or not you keep your doors locked, it's still 100% the thug car jacker or road rager's fault if they get shot and killed. I wont lecture, dude should have had his door locked but I will lecture, punk shouldn't have forced his door open. It's 100% the criminals fault.

  46. Just my 0.02 opinion here. There is a thought that you could have an un-intentional discharge leading to liability in court. I don't think this would be a criminal matter, but rather a civil one. Civil suits are harder to win against someone that has been exonerated of criminal charges. Personal opinion is that if you can prove that you could shoot more accurately and that this may have prevented a miss when the shooting us righteous in every other way then likely not a problem. The issue with your statement above is that single action gives you more accuracy at extended range. At what range as the threat stopped being a threat to your life? This will vary based on the weapons used against you as well as distance. .. Only you can answer these questions at the time of the conflict. But IMHO it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6...

  49. I don't like the idea of night hunting. If it ever gets passed TWRA will impose a limited hunting season and the open bag limit will be removed. On top of that TWRA has a hard enough time catching spotlighters.
