Nothing in particular for Christmas.

With some Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals I bought some shoes and a watch (and parts to mod it). If the timing is right, maybe the special order airsoft gun I ordered will be delivered, but I'm doubting it.

Benchmade anonimus in cruwear! And a Spyderco 4" fixed blade in K390

I bought a BM Shootout in Cruwear last spring. I use the hell out of it and it's still as razor sharp as the day I bought it. That's damn impressive, since the blade thickness on the Shootout is the thinnest bladed knife I've ever had or seen. Seems flimsy, but it's not.

Front struts for the Chevy truck so it would pass state safety inspection, a Harbor Freight 3 ton low profile jack for $99 and a $680 personal property tax bill.

that's after the $1200+ property tax, up $200 from last year and double 10 years ago.

Kids are getting Legos, posters printed on metal plate, new shoes and shirts..wife is getting a new Keurig Kcup coffee maker because her old one is 14-18 years old.

Coleman minibike. Bought one for my son's Christmas. I rode it when I brought it home.

Went back next day and bought ME one (so we can ride together). I have a number of upgrade parts ordered for it. We never have owned motorcycles/atv's. The entry level price points for them on black Friday sale made it a no-brainer.

Wife made me hide them away so it will be a surprise for my son Christmas morning. I can't hardly wait to get mine out and upgrade it/ride it.

That's badass. I'd love to have a trials bike, but I'm not getting any younger and will be having my 8th or 9th spinal surgery (I've lost count) in Feb. My adventure bike is as close to a dirt bike that I'll ever own again.

Ordered an Apex trigger kit for one of my M&Ps. Thought I might live with the better trigger the PC guns are supposed to have but every time I shoot that gun I feel the difference between it and the others with Apex triggers.

Haven't yet BUT found an LE6920 at a pawnshop yesterday. Everything looks pristine. Bet there haven't been 100 hundred rounds down the pip. Asking 699.00 and think I can get it for even less. Thinking very seriously about grabbing that thing. Seems like quite the deal. You guys agree?

View Quote

@RvrRat66 IMO if you can get that thing sub 700 I'd call it a steal. Just to compare I'm looking at NIB LE6920 for $850, And its one of the factory "naked" ones (no handguards, stock, trigger guard, or rear sight)
I'm not paying asking price, but if the seller would take 7-750 I think I'd be in.

Been randomly checking their website for the last year or so and finally found one in stock. Now I have zero excuses to bring out my M1 to a multigun...

Lucky!

I rushed to the site to see if they had others in stock. Guess I’ll have to keep waiting.

I remember telling everyone back in the day that the Thing was just a glorified Kubelwagen (German for "bucket car."). Can you list the major differences? I think the Thing had a much better interior IIRC.

A Henry Bison Tribute rifle in 45-70 limited to 1091 units.

When I got mine though it came with two instead of just one signed and number art prints which match the pictures on the rifle. One was colored & one framed while the other was grayscale.
The number matches the serial of the rifle. Now it looks like it just comes with the grayscale one.

Haven't shot with it yet, but the only complaints I can see so far is it lists split times or shot times on the big display under the data review page, not both at the same time. And you have to go into the menu to select between the two, so not super fast. But you are looking at more data and multiple strings. The main screen has all the info you'd want as far as I can tell in the normal shooting mode.

I need to see if the top display will list them and allow me to scroll through them. EDIT: Does indeed display 1st shot time/split time/shot number/elapsed time on the top display and you can review with easy left or right buttons.

Settings seem very adjustable and can trigger off of very small noises in dryfire mode.

It says Bluetooth compatibility with the kestrel app, but I couldn't connect. And I don't think there was much functionality on there with the shot timer anyway.

Still like it so far and seems easy to use.
