Most unusual gun you've seen used to qualify with for CCW.
UncleJak replied to seez52's topic in General Chat
The guy next to me rented a glock in 45. Not too odd except he had never shot a gun before. The 1st few shots from him scared me. he was not ready for the power of the 45! -
I had a similar time with comcast. I had/have the blast internet. It was$50. I rec'd a letter saying I had been undercharged and effective the next month it would be $70. I called and for $60 kept that internet and got cable. It would have been the same price without the cable, so i took it. It's not the cheapest deal, but I really like the internet they provide. Most of my time was spent telling them I didn't want cable or home phone. Finally we made a deal (and they won I guess since I now have cable) and settled on the $10 increase. I looked into the other service providers and was unable to make up my mind. If you end up with a good deal, let me know so I can check it out. I don't have any contract or anything. My price will not go up.

Reminds me of the Zager and Evans song: 2525

Just when I thought I didn't like Christmas, they come out with these. Now I have to go home and re-think my life.

Awesome looking, as usual!

Calling all blacksmiths, bladesmiths and soon to be's

Looks like we have enough interest to make this happen. I am gonna start looking at my calendar and farmers almanac to see what the dates and weather look like. -
Sorry for the loss of your friend. I lost a friend a few years back in a similar way. My thoughts go to the friends and family.

UncleJak replied to Spots's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
Yes, that was me. Just know it went to a good loving home. I was thinking we might be able to use my house to meet. I do have neighbors, but we would be fine during "normal" hours. I'm on the Kentucky border. I don't know how close that is for everyone. I still need to work on some logistics, but I am throwing the idea out to see what everyone else is thinking. -

I'm in. Spots can crash at my house. I have a coal forge and a awesome rr track anvil I just got from 56ford guy. Let me look at some dates and think on some details. -
It took me 4 months to get my first one. 1 month for my renewal.

[quote]is sexy an acceptable term to describe a gun?[/quote] no. That is a nice looking gun though.

Having played with both SKS and AK, I lean towrds the AK side. To me, the main difference was the mag release. I can change mags in the AK 10x as fast as I can in the SKS. That being said, I have a buddy who can reload a SKS with stripper clips as fast as I can change mags. In the end I chose the AK, but have not seen one as cheap as I paid for mine in quite some time. Price always dictates purchase and I agree that the SKS can be had for cheaper. They are good rifles too and are very similar in function.

Sharpening and Protecting Suggestions
UncleJak replied to GlockSpock's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
[quote]I was talking about mineral oil on the knife as a rust inhibitor/lubricant in place of something such as Rem Oil or CLP.[/quote] Oh, I got ya. Mineral oil works for that too. Thats what I use on my butcher knives. And you can eat it (I don't suggest that). -
I have used humidifiers off and on for the past 15 years and never had that problem. Not sure what caused that.... I have always bought the cheapest ones I could find, hoping that they all worked about the same. Our new central system is so much better than the old one that I don't think I even need one anymore. I think the last one we used was a honeywell, but I haven't ran one in a while.

Looking great! That paracord on the second one looks familiar....

Sharpening and Protecting Suggestions
UncleJak replied to GlockSpock's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I was a mineral oil addict. I have found; however, that often times water works just as well, as long as your sharpener accepts water as a lubricant. I have a Smiths diamond sharpener and it works well with water. My first preference will always be a good 3 stone system, but they are often expensive. The smiths cost $15 and works almost as well. -
Great looking knives. I really like the handle on the 2nd one. It seems "fatter" for great grip.

Awesome knives sandman! It is amazing what can be made with a lot of hard work. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but Spots really is awesome. -
What is a "typical" home invasion? And how did he become the expert? What a joke indeed.

When I 1st saw it, I thought "this is the dumbest show ever". I still think it is the dumbest show ever, but I am hooked. Don't let the beards fool you, they are geniuses.

Notice the man is not wearing shoes.

I actually had this happen. I sold a gun to someone. I then bought it back and had it for a few months an sold it again.(made a profit each time). The guy I sold it to sold it to someone else (still with me??) This guy used the gun in a home invasion! The guy who sold it to him told me about it, but i never got asked any questions. I was legit in selling it all times so I had no worries, but it still was on my mind that I had caused the crime. Then I started thinking that this dude probably would have bought another gun if he had not bought the one I had. Point of my 8 degrees of UncleJak's gun story: just sell the gun.
