I was going to say remember the .307 and .356 instead of .308 or .358, then I remembered the Savage 99, Win 88 and Browning BLR, but they feed off box or rotary mags. I always loved the Win 88. Knew a few guys that had 88s in .243, .284, and .308. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Trust the science I bought a hat from triggergsp with a patch on it as a test subject for more hats for the office team. looking at the patch I said it looks like it will come off. he said go ahead, try to rip it off so I ripped that fucker off I showed him I ripped it off and he starts yelling at me WHAT DID YOU DO?!? I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD REALLY DO IT! THEY DON"T COME OFF UNDER NORMAL USE!! Well, what the fuck. Don't tell me to do something like that and expect me to not do it. I stuck the patch back on and have been wearing the hat. hit it with a pressure washer today. Patch is still stuck on there. Kinda impressive really considering I ripped it off and just smacked it back on there. so, science can be pretty cool. oh, and my neighbor felt compelled to tell me she is growing mushrooms, so if I see her watering logs in her backyard, she is not crazy, she is just growing mushrooms. we will see how that science works for her. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By secretwheelman: It's been ages since I fired a lever gun, and I'd forgotten how much fun these are. I'd gotten stagnant on guns lately, and this was a good time. There's surprisingly not much difference in recoil between the 357 and 38spl in a 20" barrel, but you can certainly hear the difference on steel. 38spl through this thing is so light, I could see shooting way too many rounds on a nice afternoon. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53945142305_c5b75eb540_o.jpg nice clean lines on that knife |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Thanks. I was thinking about grabbing one once I heard about them. Looks like I'll pass on it if the lock is janky. I was going to get one just so I could take it apart and examine the lock mechanism to try to replicate it for one of my designs. I'm thinking I might like to do an axis style lock on a modern folder if I ever get around to making one. I still have an old axis lock example from the brand that shall not be named so maybe I'll sacrifice it to the reverse engineering gods for the betterment of mankind. I've replicated the geometry on the Triad lock in the Tuff Lite when I was making handles for it. I have that one dialed in, just need to crank out a few sets of handles. ETA: I do not have a $1300 Shiro to reverse engineer buddy, dude, buddy, I'm your guy. I'll sell you whatever you want for the right price. |

I have something against this officer pulling me out of my car when they have observed no offences, treating me like a criminal for no reason, wasting my time, threatening me with jail, and being a condescending prick. The other lawyer has this correct - you're way off. It was unconstitutional to start with and he was an asshole about it to boot. How do you know he was wearing jack boots? Did he tuck his pant leg into them? See my other post, you are suspicious to begin with. I'd pull you over. Everyone knows the police are kind, benevolent, intelligent people. |
