Capbyrd

Are those the Seekins rings? I was thinking of those for my 700. They look BEEFY!

From top to bottom the folders are the Prototype (no name yet), XM-18 3.5" recurve and XM-18 3.5" spanto. The fixed blade is a Flashpoint.

The proto and recurve are my friend's. The spanto and Flashpoint are mine. [/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Couple of observations: [/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]The prototype feels enormous in hand. It feels a lot bigger than it really is. And I like that. It fills the hand and gives confidence that its not going anywhere. Yet its not much larger than a 3.5 XM-18. [/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]The recurve is my favorite grind right now. There is literally nothing that I don't like about that grind (except maybe sharpening it). [/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Non Hinderer, he also had a Terzuola there that I really liked. The blade on this knife has a really classy, classic look to it. Great knife. [/size][/font] [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c104/Capbyrd/Hinderer%20Herd/thanksgiving2012010.jpg[/IMG]

Yes. But negligibly. It's a small increase. But basically, the suppressor still fills up and acts as a barrel extension giving a slight increase in velocity. Integrals are different as they often have porting to bleed a projectile down to subsonic velocities but that's the exception.

Pending 6/5, problem status 9/27, problem status again 11/2, Approved 11/14. Geez, I hate problem status.

Yep. I got one section that had a shoestring inside. As for the scales, the izula is a different size. And I'm not positive which way it works but they can be modified to fit each other.

Great choice and good work on the paracord. Although, I highly recommend staying away from Amazon for the cord. I learned the hard way that it isn't all what it seems. I recommend SupplyCaptain for cord. Best selection of colors, great prices and fast shipping.

Yeah they do. And I'm sure some other manufacturers do as well.

You might want to hunt around some. The TGO vendors are a great place to start. [/quote] There are some models that are Wally exclusives. Like the Wally World Special 10/22. Only place you could get the long barreled version.

[quote name='crimsonaudio' timestamp='1352902602' post='845415'] If you're really concerned with protecting your hearing, you'll need to run some tests, or at the very least look at the manufacturer's numbers. Keep in mind anything about 120dBSPL can (generally will) cause instantaneous damage to your hearing - this doesn't mean immediate noticeable loss of hearing, but hearing loss is cumulative, so at the very LEAST I recommend keeping the exposure to instantaneous sounds to <100dBSPL. I don't think I've ever seen a suppressor capable of more than about 30-35dB NR, which means you would realistically need ~20dB of extra protection with a typical firearm (most of which generate somewhere in the neighborhood of 150dBSPL). For example, when I'm shooting (I don't have any suppressors), I wear 33dB NR plugs with some 25dB over-the-ear muffs. This combination yields enough protection that I can shoot everything I own for hours with no damage. I'd LOVE to shoot with nothing on my head, but it's just not practical for someone who wishes to protect their hearing. May not seem like a big deal now, but in 20 years when you have tinnitus and struggle to keep up with conversations, you'll wish you were aggressive in protecting your ears... [/quote] My parents always said that I have selective hearing. I can just use that to tune out the gun shots and I'll be fine right?

That doesn't look very gold.

I just sent him a message on facebook asking him to send me the contact info he wants to give you. I've dealt with him through the Atwood Toolbook on Facebook and through USN.

I've got a kydex guy that I like but he lives in Cali. If he doesn't have the items you are wanting to use, you would have to send them but his turnaround is great.

Usually takes about a month to go pending. Check back next week.

You should actually see it soon. Mine went pending on June 5th and would have been approved already but there were two errors so its been sent back to me twice now.

More info on CMT please...

Nope. You will go pending in about a month. You will get approved around April or May.

Its never been that hard for me. I had a couple of fumbles while making the video but that was because I was talking and trying to film at the same time. Video is crappy but you get the idea.

I love the looks of your handles. I know other people do it as well but there is something so unique (in my head) about the wood over g10 and thick g10 liners.

Yeah I've already been talking to Rob. I'm sending him the knife today for some spa time.

Thanks! Kinda wish scales were easier to come by though. Some od green or orange would be nice.

Thanks major! If you watch top shot, he was a contestant last season.

I said O2 up top but I meant O1 steel. I was thinking about Laconico and all he uses is D2.

Yes he does. I've known Dylan for nearing on 10 years now. I also have one of his Operator 575's and love it. I use it alot and don't always oil it well so its developing a nice natural patina. I'm torn on whether to scotchbrite it back to shiny or let it be though. Only picture I have of it. I need to take some more.

Lauren Cohan is hot! I knew it Vivian Volkoff right off and I was upset because I heard somewhere that she wasn't on the show long. Very glad that was wrong.
