Great story and great knife. Looks like it's in fantastic shape for it's age too. Congrats!

I've been out of town for the last week. What'd I miss???

I think you win thread title of the year with this one.

[quote name='Razz' timestamp='1352476684' post='842475'] Here's a news flash that I would REALLY like to see some attention paid: There are a ton of moderate and left-leaning dems that are pro 2A. The NRA is such a right-wing institution that these folks avoid it like the plague. Sites like TGO have so many loudmouth conservative spouting downright hateful speech about dems that you'll rarely have the opportunity to have a discussion about protecting 2A with people who actually have the ability to sway other moderate dems. [b]For now we still have the freedom to choose. If the NRA is too right wing, don't join it. Simple. Loudmouth conservatives spouting "hateful speech", block them so you don't get offended.[/b] 2A is NOT the property of conservatives and yet that is EXACTLY how many republicans act. The thing is, I don't think many conservatives really care about PROTECTING 2A as much as COMPLAINING about liberals. [b]Yes, because complaining is definitely reserved for the conservatives. Are you the pot or the kettle in this scenario?[/b] I make it a point to have one positive discussion per day with an open minded democrat. We don't often see eye-to-eye when the conversation is over but I know they leave with a little bit more knowledge than they started with. What I DON'T do is belittle them about their political affiliation and speak of their alleged inferiority. (if your response is that you don't know any open-minded dems, please don't bother responding at all. You're part of the problem but too stupid to realize it) [b]I don't seek people out for conversation based on their political leanings. I'll talk to anyone, I'm open minded [/b][b] [/b] I'm tiring of firearm enthusiast websites who's front page of recent posts are over 50% political whining without some objective thinking. [b]See Mav's post. What the hell are you expecting the week of the election? Why not turn off your computer for a few days if the political posts are bothering you?[/b] I want to be a part of this community but my patience is wearing thin with a lot of you. I'm hear to learn and share experiences but my willingness to be a positive participant at TGO is almost gone. [b]If you think there's a better firearms community on the web I encourage you to find it. [/b] [b]Also, in a later post in this thread you criticize the "hive mind" around here. Would you levy the same criticism on a gay/lesbian website that was overwhelmingly Democratic? While no one is questioning that there are pro-2A liberals there are many more pro-2A conservatives.[/b] [/quote]

[quote name='DAdams' timestamp='1352233027' post='840238'] As a buyer in a TN to TN transaction adding 9% State Sales Tax the prices are about the same as Optics Planets everyday prices. I'll see if I can steer some out of State business that way. Makes it more attractive. I like Maxpedition Gear. I have a Sitka and a Jumbo Versipack. Good stuff. [/quote] I'm a little confused. Howe's is in Michigan. I've bought from them a couple of times and have never been charged sales tax.

[quote name='babelt' timestamp='1352160360' post='839645'] Poor Tacoma, I would have a hard time restraining myself if i found out someone hit me and didn't have insurance. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 [/quote] He lied to the police at the scene and produced a fake/invalid insurance card. I would have been much more pissed had I known at the time.

This was my three month old truck after I was hit by an uninsured driver. I was sitting at a red light when this douchebag slammed in to me going 45 mph. Brand new truck totaled.

As a little clearer explanation, the price that shows on the website is 10% off. When you add it to your cart it takes an additional 25% off.

Howe's Knife Shop is closing out all of their Maxpedition stuff. 35% off MSRP plus free shipping. Support small business!! [url="http://www.howesknifeshop.com/maxpedition-hard-use-gear/"]http://www.howesknifeshop.com/maxpedition-hard-use-gear/[/url]

I'm not particularly worried about a bunch of twitterers rioting in East TN. That would be a short-lived and painful endeavor for any angst filled wanna-be gangsters.

[quote name='Lumber_Jack' timestamp='1351988970' post='838555'] So anything special at the show today? [/quote] I walked up at 0945 and there was no line at all. Did a quick walkthrough, ran into Dolomite and Sour Kraut, said hi to David and got to meet Eray. Picked up a couple of things from Eray. His prices were fantastic. Other than that I found absolutely nothing at the show that I needed. There was a line to get in when I left, probably 75 people deep. I'm really surprised at the lack of crowd today. I guess everyone else is more confident of a Romney win on Tuesday than I am...

[quote name='personDJ' timestamp='1351921541' post='838210'] spanking is hiting. And most of you believe in it because you were hit or spanked. You are hitting someone who has a brain that is not yet developed fully and it doesn't until about age 20 or so. [/quote] So discipline shouldn't be enforced on anyone until they're 20 or so? That may be the most asinine thing I've ever read.

[quote name='Lumber_Jack' timestamp='1351826975' post='837587'] Custom built AR uppers [url="http://www.rmwxtreme.com/"]http://www.rmwxtreme.com/[/url] [/quote] Neil, Do you have personal experience with these guys? I see they list 10mm as an option...

[quote name='TripleDigitRide' timestamp='1351897954' post='837997'] I still think Obama will win. The social side of me is hoping I'm right, but the fiscal side of me hopes I'm wrong. [/quote] What does the Individual Rights and Freedoms side of you hope?

Hoarding is a very subjective thing. More than one gun is hoarding to some people. No matter how small or large I make it a point to not talk about what or how much I own in public. My collection is no one's business but mine.

I would do dirty, dirty things for a M1 carbine in 10mm.

I'm planning on being there Saturday morning.

Thanks G, I appreciate it. Predator recommended I just bring everything in together once I get the can from my pusher. Should just be a few more months now...

Okay, maybe I was wrong. I guess I don't want to punch Bill Ruger in the mouth.

Every time I have to disassemble and reassemble my Mark II I want to punch Bill Ruger in the mouth.

Dylan's an eccentric guy but he made some good music back in the day.

Almost makes sense when you stand back and look at it doesn't it?

Thanks Caster, I appreciate it. As cynical as I am I like to think of this place as my internet home and if you can't trust your family...

I've had an original Team Gemini and one of the Light Brigade ones and they are both fantastic knives. I'd definitely recommend getting one before they go away.

Well, the Bushwhacker Mistress has made it back home. While I must admit that I'm a little disappointed with the lack of reviews and feedback I am glad that some new folks got exposed to this awesome knife. To those that did reply I appreciate your reviews. Here she is as she came back to me. I touched up the edge with a leather belt on the belt sander and she's good as new. Cheers all!!
