After a very long and stressful week at work, I took a few days off and finally got around to opening the stack of mail waiting for me on my desk at home. Much to my surprise I had a box from Willis68 and within it was a beautiful ProTech Dark Angel knife! I'll post some pictures of it here in a little bit, but MAN this thing is sweet. Many thanks @willis68 !!!!

My great grand dad. I don't have a clue what the guns are.

I am going to kick off a job behind the scenes tonight that will rebuild our Search Index. This process takes a few hours and during that time searching will be limited as will the ability to easily show new threads. It should be done by morning. I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is needed in order to clean up some of the mess left behind by removing the Classifieds software.

Back when I first moved to this location I decided I would plant a garden and a buddy of mine tilled a plot about 60X80 feet with his tractor and tiller and he chopped it up so good it took about 10 minutes with a rake and it was ready to make rows and begin planting. I had never had a garden but my father had a very green thumb and could grow anything. I went with the basic stuff. Tomatos, Squash in 2 kinds, Banana peppers, Jalapeno peppers, Cucumbers, Okra, and put a small hill of watermelons in and they vined all over the yard that surrounder the garden on one side. Got about 25 melons of the plants that year. At the time I did have a lady friend that helped me tend it and I guess some of my father passed down to me cause I had enough veggies to give the neighbors a bunch. There was a eldely gentleman two doors down from me and he put a garden in also and I would watch him till his ground and it was very hard on him so when I got my buddy to till mine I got him to till the old gentlemans while he was here. He grew a few different veggies than I did so we did some trading. He had corn and Green beans that he planted so they would vine up his corn stalks which I thought was cool. I vined my cucumbers up a piece of lattus I put on the outer edge of the garden and they grew up it just fine. Each year for about 5 years I expanded my garden space and the last year it was about 100x140 and I planted more stuff like Califlower and Brocolli which was a colder weather plants and needed to be planted when it was cooler but it worked and I began putting a bunch of stuff up in canning jars. Daughter and neighbor ladies helped with that along with freezing some stuff. I did enjoy it a lot but it got to much for me so after about 6 years I never put another one it. Now I just have a few patio pots for tomatos and a few pepper plants and anything I can grow in patio tubs. The old gentleman passed away but one thing he left for me that last year was after his garden was done he said he wished he felt like tilling it up so he could put in a crop of Turnip Greens so I got my buddy to come down and till up his garden and he sat there beside the garden in a chair and directed me how to sow turnip green seeds and I had a small field of Turnip greens that Fall and Winter but lost him before they came into picking size. I picked some every day of so for his wife and she canned them so she would have them and I gave her veggies from my garden. Sorry for the long post but just remembering some of the good times......................

Newest addition to the WW2 collection, seen here with other German friends. The VIS 35 was a product of soured relations between FN and the Polish government. Poland was buying FN produced BAR rifles, and FN was struggling to deliver the goods in expected quantities and time frames. The decision to adopt the FN produced Hipower had already been decided by this point; however, the unreliable service thus far steered the country another direction. Poland turned to their Radom factory, deciding to manufacture the hipower themselves. The result is a pistol that functions internally like a Hipower yet resembles more of a 1911 style of JMB designed firearm. It has a single stack 8 round magazine, a slide stop lever, disassembly lever, and a decocker. The decocking feature was pushed heavily by the Polish cavalry. It has no functional safety other than the grip safety. The Radom factory was captured by the Germans when they invaded Poland. They decided this was a good design and continued production at Radom under the supervision of Steyr. Despite the various inspection stamps and processes, the Germans neglected to consider guns being copied, i.e. identical serial numbers, and about one pistol was duplicated per day and smuggled out of the plant until it was finally discovered. 100 employees were rounded up with 50 being hanged on site and the rest sent to concentration camps.

New shooters (to the sport) do not apply on concealment. You'll need 3 magazines (2 will work), and some good holsters. Quote Edit

How's this for a well equipped ride?

My crabgrass and wild onions are growing so fast you can almost hear them at night.

All the people I've shot were done so with iron sights.

I have one...been running it since 2012. I had the slide milled at here. http://www.bowietacticalconcepts.com/ I have another on an M&P 9MM......it's strictly a fun gun hence no back up irons on this one.

You do in fact want a G19 MOS running an RMR.

We have a bumper crop of crabgrass!

No we do not - ticket prices will go up next season. I prefer a loss for that sole reason lol

There's no such thing as an unpinned ad anymore. Closing this thread.

Yeah, once they stopped cycling like they were a canadian team and started playing street hockey, it fell in our laps.

Glad you got in there, that second period was phenomenal!

Closing this thread. If you are a Benefactor or a Lifetime Benefactor, you now have access to the new forum The Swamp to talk about this crap.

Well after Blade Show yesterday, I have the 2017 Commercial Wicked Edge coming to me within a few weeks as well as a friend I met from TGO who I will be teaching my sharpening skills to so on the future he can sharpen just as well as me and do knifes when I am offshore, I will keep this thread updated but keep in mind I have the finest equipment in the world and the skills to give your knives the care they deserve,

I guess we could post here if we are going up there. Could order online and one person could pick up the orders.

Different ones wow me for different reasons. It's not easily definable...

the flow seems to have come to a complete stop huh!

Well... I actually bought it last year but a couple of weeks ago I got my Silencerco hybrid out of jail. Does that count?

You make it sound like we can only have one.

Oh damn. That may seriously be the best one you've had them make yet, Steve. Wow. Wow wow wow.

So you're saying they should come up with ammo that's... more... ballsy??
