I'm looking around for a good axe to use while camping, and was wondering if anyone knows of a Council Tools dealer in OK, preferably in the Tulsa area. I hear good things about their axes, but occasionally bad things about their QC, and would definitely want to take a look at the handle in...

Good deal with Jeremy today. Great communication!

Nebos are hit and miss. I've also seen evidence that several of their lights (the Redline for example) overdrive the LED, shortening the life and leading to burn-out. My current carry is a 4Sevens Quark123. I like the light just fine, but occasionally find myself wishing I'd went with the...

Oh Bejesus, I knew I shouldn't have looked in here. That NAA is now the first pistol I've really wanted in years :/ Actually, I'd like one the same size as their Mini Masters in .22LR, but that's just being picky.

The Screaming Trees. They had a little success during the Seattle explosion in the 90's, but they never really hit it big. Probably the most expansive and mature sound to come out of that whole scene. Mark Lanegan has one hell of a smokey voice, and the Connors had a lot of musical...

I killed a copperhead with a Marlin .22 loaded with ratshot. It was a long old Marlin so I used it like a four-foot stick and made the coppy eat the end of the barrel before I fired, Mafia-style. Call me the Snakexecutioner.

I have a 19-3 that's pretty easily the best firearm I've ever owned. Quality seeps out of that gun! As far as "greatest" though...after handling a few very very vintage Colt SAAs (including an original black powder frame Frontier Six Shooter) I have to hand the title to the hogleg. The SAA is...

I have a Star BM and Rock Island Armory 1911 that I'm still quite happy with after a few hundred rounds through each. Also a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug that's been pretty good so far, but hasn't been shot all that much. I had a couple of cheapies that I kind of regret getting rid of, but just...

I'll put up a pic later when I get my camera back. I ended up bagging an 18 pounder Saturday evening. 9 1/4" beard, 1" spurs. Very low fat, and some very pretty meat. Can't wait to cook this sucker up! Only "boo boo" was that I nearly blew it's fool head off with a second shot. I'd pegged...

On an RG10, they're so loose that unburned powder gets all over the place. As I remember it, the firing pin is held in by a screw-in collar. Get that collar off and scrub the innards of the firing pin well out, and check the pin spring to see if it's full of crud. Don't lose either the tiny...

Hard to tell from the pics, but is it an actual Sharps or Sharps/Hankins? Worked on a couple of those a while back, and they're really neat little guns, though the firing pin rotation was seemingly pretty finicky.

... ... ... ... ... looks just like a Taurus. Yipes. I was thinking "Why wouldn't a gun this size have a larger cap mag and really differentiate from the pack?" Then I thought "Oh yeah, because that many .380s would cost more than the gun."

The Airsofts in question are apparently Tokyo Marui WE M4s which really *are* nearly $400 each on the retail market. Supposedly an accurate enough portrayal of the M4 to be used as a trainer. They're strictly compressed gas gizmos though, which makes me wonder how the smack you'd make it fire...

My FIL found a big eleven point rack on his property yesterday near a feeder. Apparently a fresh drop as there was still some membrane on the base. We ponder where this monster was during season :P

Tokarev is Tokarev. It looks like a 1903, but a 1903 was a "hammerless" blowback, the TT-33 an external hammer tilt barrel. The barrel lockup in particular is pretty 1911-ish, but the full radial locking lugs are a tad different. And the hammer module is pretty unique in and of itself...

Leatherman's new MUT. Apparently designed for a military contract with the specs from a pair of the Army's competition shooters. Carbon scraper, pin punch, bolt pull-back tool...and a hammer for when nuthin else works! EDIT: I just checked the entry, and the post didn't come up. Just in...

If he's keeping his stuff in your purse, then he has a manbag-by-proxy :) ----- On another note, I realized earlier today that... Chewbacca carries a purse! I guess it's a side effect of being Han Solo's "life partner..."

Everything I've read so far is that they're still in their shaking-out-the-bugs stage, and some repairs have ended up with entirely new slides on the guns. Apparently the tech support are stand-up guys, but you know...bugs. I'd give it a few months before investing in one. If they're anything...

Here's my ugly, cheap-ass sack o' toys. It's a $10 NexPak I got at the last Wannenmaneaaananchers show. I'd been keeping my eye out for a no-nonsense sack to keep my junk in, especially for future road trips. Going to DC taught me a lesson about how paranoid you can get just keeping stuff...

The number of things that the Modern Male won't do because his friends will "make fun of him" marks us as one of the most worthless bunch of primates since the dawn of opposable thumbs. Jeremiah Johnson would hit us with his possibles bag.
