I view firearms as a repository of value rather than an investment. It’s the same difference as a savings account versus mutual funds. Firearms will never be valueless, and in most cases will appreciate slowly over time. As with a savings account, the funds remain easily accessible with...

Stainless or titanium?

That’s a very good deal with the micro frame thrown in.

After this one I’ll stop boring everyone, I swear. This was the first nice watch I bought for myself after college. I’ve dive with this one a few times. It went into the drawer because the band broke and I could never find a replacement long enough to wear comfortably. Another shout out to...

This one is probably my nicest, at least biggest ticket, watch. It was an online purchase. The story was that it was NOS from a jewelry store that had closed down. Don’t know if there is any truth to the story, a jeweler looked it over and said everything looked legit. Solid titanium, 1000m...

I think the mesh band really makes it pop.

If you look up “classic hunting rifle” in an encyclopedia there is probably a photo of that rifle as an example.

Another one saved from the back of the drawer. My wife bought this for me for Christmas years ago, it was non-working at the time. I tossed it in the drawer and forgot about it. Shout out to Ivan’s Jewelry in Pryor for the repair.

It was my understanding that only quartz watches could be oil filled. The viscosity of even thin oil would have to effect the operation of a flywheel. I’m interested to know how Ressence pulled that off.

This is an interesting one you don’t see every day. It’s a Hyperbar System dive watch. The case is filled with non-conductive oil. The liquid filling renders the watch absolutely waterproof. The face states the watch was pressure tested to 12500 meters, which I believe is the deepest known point...

Nice to have an old friend back. This was my daily wear for years. I finally found a replacement band for it that I like. Uhr Kraft, supposedly German. I dove this watch a few times, I believe that the 300 meter rating is legit. Next project is to try to polish the scratches off the crystal.

I've seen a lot of reviews of the Patriot rifles that accuracy is very inconsistent with them. I've also heard that Mossberg won't do anything about it. I hope you are able to find a solution.

Got another one from the back of the sock drawer working. Don’t know much about it, bought on eBay years ago. I never wore it much because the band was way too short. Aliexpress is your friend for extra long watch bands.

I have two of them, they are impressive for the price. The triggers are typical Glock, mushy and heavy. I you can get better pricing by buying the upper and lower separately. Routine price on lowers is 50 bucks. Uppers are frequently available under 200 on daily deals.

I did a 10 build on a PSA stripped lower. The quality of the lower was good.

My experience with company buyouts is that individual contributors are fine, management is toast. I went through this once myself, left two other jobs because I saw it coming. If you are an individual contributor you are probably ok, unless your company gets broken up and sold off for assets.

I dove in the past, it’s been many years. If I ever find myself living close to ocean I’ll take it back up. I mostly wear dive watches because they are the only style that sometimes have bands long enough that I can wear them.

I ran across this and had to have it. It’s an Addiesdive puck diver, rated at 1000m. I’d be really curious to know if it will hold up to that depth. For less than a hundred shipped, I’d say no, but it seems to be very well made for chineseum.

Shooting at the public range in Wagoner, a young guy with his daughter walked up and sat his gear down on my table. Then he told me I needed to move so my ejected brass didn’t hit his daughter. Because he had a young child with him, I packed up and left. Had he been there alone I’m afraid I...

That Barretta Apx is very tempting.
