The larger two Filipino blades appear to be "Talibongs". No idea what they'd be worth but someone studying Kali, Silat or Escrima would likely be very interested.

I can see the appeal, but IIWM, I'd skip it.

It seems to me that tools that try to do too many things seldom do any of them well.

Condor had a very good reputation in the bushcrafting community. I think you'll be pleased.

Good on you Ted. Beneath the "skin and bones" that looks to be a real nice dog; I'll bet that he repays you 10 times in love for the kindness you've given him. Like you, I'd be inclined to keep him. :D I couldn't turn him away either. Looks to me like you were gifts to each other. Well do...

Why, thank you gentlemen!

It's a good day already: My wife allowed me to wake up this morning.

cnjarvis

Gorgeous!

Please put in a good word for me to Santa!

Chuck, I was aware of it but hadn't really paid attention to it. The location is about 8 miles from me as the crow flies.

It's my first holster but I've made 4 or so fixed-blade knife sheaths before.

I still need to work on my stitching. The front looks good but the back side looks like I'd been drinking...

cnjarvis

Done!

cnjarvis

95% complete. Still need to dress the stitched edge of the leather and lightly wet-mold it. The snap is located where it won't contact/rub the gun.

Thanks again to Chuck!

cnjarvis

Thank you!

Do you put a welt in yours?

cnjarvis

Chuck, that's some nice leather!

I'd love to have a go at making one of those. PM inbound.

Fellas, I'm the proud owner of a new Ruger GP100 in 357 Mag. With a 4.2" barrel. Now it needs a holster to go with it and I'm thinking about making one myself. I can make my own pattern but really don't want to fiddle with it. I'm looking for something similar to the Bianchi 111 Cyclone. http:/...

I run a couple of tablespoons of Lemishine through a rinse cycle in mine from time to time to help keep lime buildup at bay. I agree that GE appliances can be cr ap. My oven/range and dishwasher work fine but the microwave takes easily 50% longer to cook things than similar wattage units by other ma...

Thanks gents. Sorry I missed it!

Lee for me. I find it a good way to take a slow look at the cases as well. Same here - the two things I WILL do while watching a movie are deprime cases (with the Lee hand-press), and inspect/trim cases, using the Lee hand-trimmer. I am in no rush, but when I experimented with the "chuck it in...

They are beautiful and well made axes. Check out Council Tool's Velvicut and Hudson Bay axes as well.

I have burned out two of them. The last one was still under the warranty period but it had so many hours on it I just S-canned it. It had served me well. :wink: The newest Midway one I have has a different shaped bowl and does not tumble as aggressively as the old ones.(I have two,one old style and...

Been doing a little research on this issue. Apparently most mainline denominations have a written very similar stance as the UMC on this issue. But apparently it's kept very low key for obvious reasons ($) and apparently most churches don't post the signs. Personally, I think it's very hypocritical...

That's pretty cool. I have a small collection of kerosene lanterns. 3 Embury Air Pilots, one of which was my great-grandfather's and another is stamped with the name of a local hardware store that's is long gone.

Thanks GK!!!

Hit 40 today but don't feel it.

I bought one last year about this time. Accuracy even with Remington Target ammo RE22T was far below Savage's 1-1/2" @ 100yds and the bore looked like corrugated pipe. Savage replaced the barrel promptly and sent it back with a target showing a 0.3" 10-shot group which I have been unable t...

On a completely different subject.... My bumper on my truck has two empty mounting holes that are enabling me to spend money on some off road light for my Z-71. Anybody here have any LED lights on their truck/rig/outfit? What brand and where did you get them? What should I look for and what should ...

Congratulations!!!!!

I suppose you could use hot glue in the primer pocket too.

For my Savage Mk II, I use a -206 o-ring between the striker and the receiver as shown in the thread below.

For whatever reason, the lack of quality control is becoming commonplace. Two of the last three guns I've bought have had to go back to the factory for repair/replacement due either to scope holes/sights that were not centered on the action/barrel or a bore that looked like corrugated pipe and accur...

Down isn't a problem to wash. Just use something like "sport wash" or woolite and toss it in the dryer with 6-8 tennis balls and dry it on high until it's dry and fluffy again. I've washed my down coat this way several times. Works like a charm.

Why, thank you gentlemen!

It's starting off well: free lunch today and the bosslady is taking me to dinner this evening. My birthday present is a 9" round gong an two 6" round gongs, all of AR 500 steel.

Oh no, nothing but nothing will kill those fearsome squill but a 30-06.

It will be interesting to see if this works out:

Load: 45 Colt, 240gr Hornady XTP MAG, 27.5gr H110 for 1900 fps. Rifle Win. 94AE 20" bbl.

Comparing the calculated ballistics (PointBlank ballistics calc) with the Burris Ballistic Plex Reticle:

I'm curious to see what they'll do out of my Win. <snip> Joe, I would imagine that the load data would work just fine. Not that I need to remind you or anything but start low and work up... So I should start prone, then sitting, kneeling and then try them offhand???? J :wink: e GROAN.... :lol:

cnjarvis

I'm curious to see what they'll do out of my Win. My FIL has a friend who bought these at a gun show thinking that they were for 45 ACP . When he realized that he couldn't use them, he asked my FIL if he had any use for them. He did - he gave them to me. I'm the proud owner of a full box of Cast Per...

Can you guys help me out here? I need load data for the 45 Colt with the Cast Performance 265gr. WFNGC using Hodgdon H110. Mike gave me the data a while back but I've moved since then and can't find it. Thanks. Disregard - I let my keyboard go off before my brain... again. I'll just put this here s...

It still looks a bit high, but the big question is how does it feel? Can you use it and still get your cheek to the stock? Since the stock is designed for iron sights, I doubt I could get a cheek weld with optics at all however I can index off my chin easily. It's reasonably natural for me as my bo...

Here it is in its final iteration. I wish that I could get the scope lower but that's where it needs to be to eject the cases.

Sorry Nath!

I don't want to go tinkering with parts I'm not sure I can replace and don't know what I'm doing with.

cnjarvis

Ok. I got the Burris and installed it last night in a set of Leupold vertical split rings (.240" high) and not only does the Burris look much better, it's ejecting cases better. It's still not ejecting them every time so tonight I'm going to swap in some Burris signature Z rings at .420" h...

cnjarvis

Possibly but the turrets on the scope pictured are MUCH larger than those on regular 1" scope tubes.

cnjarvis

That's the scope. This afternoon I used a piece of 1" dowel with a turret cap taped to it to simulate the actual turret on a scope. I installed the dowel in some 1" "medium" rings and cycled an empty case out a few times and had my daughter do it a few more. Cycled briskly, there...

cnjarvis

OK, I tried a set of "high" rings and while it now ejects flawlessly, this is what it looks like. Picture 003.jpg I may have to look at a different scope. This thing looks like a wart on a baby's bum. If I send it back, I'm ordering a Burris Fullfield II, 2-7x35 to replace it with and I'll...

cnjarvis

You could always rotate the scope 90 degrees counterclockwise. Your vertical adjustment now becomes horizontal, and vice versa. I wish it could be that easy but the case is actually hitting the bottom of the turret AND it's an illuminated reticle which in this case means that the left side of the t...

cnjarvis

OS,

My rings and bases look nearly identical to lower rifle in your photo. I'll admit to wondering if the increased size of the tube and turret housing are the problem themselves.

cnjarvis

Blasphemy aside, I'm having a bit of trouble installing a scope on my Win 94AE in 45 Colt. Installed for proper eye relief, the turret housing sits directly over the front inch of the bolt. When ejecting empty cases, the case mouth hits the bottom of the turret housing and bounces back into the acti...

Anyone have a pic of one of these on a non-ramped barrel?

I'd really like to get one but I don't care for the way the back of the sight overhangs the rear of the dovetail as seen on their website. I wondered what one looks like as installed on a Winchester. (the photo is a Rossi)
