Ask him yourself.

From that article: I just want to point out that this is the mindset of the Southern Poverty Law Center. SPLC has been held up by people on this forum before as being the kind of organization that you should care about what they think. Well. I guess in this case you certainly should.

Divine intervention.

Yeah... uploading from a phone can result in trying to send a MASSIVE file to the server. Since yesterday I made some more changes to our software config that will allow most photos to be uploaded, but the forum software is still going to shrink them before attaching them to posts. This whole thing is a never-ending game of Chase The Rabbit since every new iteration of phones seems to bring even higher resolution photos with larger file sizes.

Are you uploading straight from your phone?

It's a good one for sure. I've got another Skyline in natural felt (tan) that I plan to hang on to.

FOR SALE: Stetson Skyline 6x Cowboy Hat - Black Every gunslinger needs a good hat and I know someone on TGO will love to own this one. I have a brand new, never worn, Stetson Skyline cowboy hat in black felt, size 7-3/8. Coincidentally it seems that 7-3/8 is one of the most popular sizes, so these things can be a little tricky to find in stock depending on rodeo season, wedding season, etc. I bought this in May of this year, but ended up spending way more on a different hat because I'm kind of dumb like that. The hat will include a storage box. Here's what Stetson has to say about it: https://stetson.com/products/skyline-6x-cowboy-hat-black A true Stetson icon, our bestselling Skyline combines legendary quality and classic Western style in one timeless package. The Skyline is crafted from our proprietary 6X fur felt, which is prized for its durability and elegant feel, and, as with all hats that come out of our factory in Texas, each Skyline is touched by more than 100 sets of hands during production, resulting in a hat that is designed and built to stand the test of time. This edition features a 7540 profile, which translates to a 4 5/8” cattleman crown and 4” brim. Like all Skylines, it’s finished with a matching self-felt band and three-piece, silver-tone buckle. A handsewn genuine leather sweatband and full satin liner provide a time-tested fit and premium comfort. 4 5/8” Cattleman Crown 4” Brim Matching Self-Felt Hatband 3-Piece Silver-Tone Buckle Genuine Leather Sweatband Full Satin Liner 6X Quality Fur Felt Handmade in the USA Additional Details Size 7-3/8 New, unworn. High probability that this will increase your raw animal magnetism and sex appeal by a factor of 10x Allegedly will make you twice as fast on the draw Purchase Info Retail price is $299.99. Will sell for $200 even, shipped to you in the lower 48 states. Payment via PayPal. Not interested in trades. Cannot meet in person; my schedule is too complicated. More Photos Here are more photos.

A lot of folks were hoping that the recent "SIGNEXT" exhibition was going to include a hammer-fired single-action P320-ish 2011 kind of like what Oracle Arms has produced. Sadly, no such luck. The whole thing was a giant letdown.

I think the most telling part of this is that I actually did not have a number in mind before I watched JW4 but was so astounded at the number of dudes who John Wick shot in the family jewels that I suddenly realized that a line had been crossed somewhere.

JW4 was hard to watch. I've never seen so many dudes get shot in the dick before.

It's a shame that Beans' Diesel no longer does service. They are just down the road from you in Woodbury. Maybe they have recommendations of who can do the service you need, though.

These are fantastic guns. A buddy let me shoot his G47 and there's no way I'd buy a G17 with that available. Yours is done up right with the Forward Controls Design plate, too. That's the way to go. Good luck with your sale!

Work schedule and volunteering outside of work has just been dominating my time lately.

Updating the price to $475. This is an absolute steal and is good only for TGO. I will be listing this in some knife groups this week and will be back to my original asking price there.

That could be done, however I worry that people might not immediately understand that an item is NFA and confusion could arise. Also, the tags feature that we currently use is one of those add-ons that could eventually "go away" as the forum software evolves. I always worry about expanding the way we use taggs.

Thanks for tagging me on this. The family and I were out on vacation last week, so I'm just catching up on things.

I am glad to add an NFA items category to the Trading Post again. As Chuck said, above, I previously removed it due to lack of use. Of course, it is always incumbent upon the buyer and seller of any transaction to follow all applicable laws, and this would be no different.

I've been feeling the itch to do something similar again but I doubt it will be under the Shooters Nation name. It wouldn't feel right doing that show again without Mark.

Mark and I both got too busy with other things, but the real nail in the coffin was the hyper-politization of things during the pandemic. You never know when either or both of us might step in front of a mic again, though.

Price Drop. $525 takes it. I really need to free-up some space in my safe.

I tried the small one once and it seemed too small to me. I'm a sucker for bigger knives.

FOR SALE: Chris Reeve Knives (CRK) Large Sebenza 31 Insingo Sprint Run UPDATED PRICE! $475 Alright TGO... this is one for the record books as I am not aware of any other CRK Sebenza ever being offered up for sale here. For those of you are into knives, this is truly a case of "If you know, you know". These routinely go for $600-700 on the secondary market, especially with the much sought-after Insingo blade design. This CRK Sebenza with Insingo blade is BRAND NEW. It was produced in December of 2021 and is the new and improved model Sebenza 31. It was sold to me in January as part of a sprint run by Urban EDC Supply and features the new glass-blasted titanium scales which have a luxuriously soft sheen and texture to them. The blade is 3.61-inches of tough, high-end S35VN stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 59-60. Building on the storied pedigree of the Sebenza 21, the Large Sebenza 31 introduces a few small but critical innovations. Firstly, the Large Sebenza 31 features a ceramic ball pressed into the end of the hardened titanium lock bar. Ceramic is harder than titanium, will not wear out as easily, and moves better in contact with steel. Combined with the tried-and-tested Reeve Integral lock, you get the signature warm 'click' and 'bank-vault' action of the Sebenza. Next is the off-set pocket clip, which reduces the preload on the lock bar, along with the improved ergonomics of the handle. Subtle adjustments were made at the front of the handle and around the finger grooves for better handling and grip. The Large Sebenza 31 no longer has the hole on the presentation side (which was used to secure the scale in place). Overall, the precision of this knife is legendary, even among fans of CRK's work, and the action is smooth and has a reassuring bank vault-like lockup. It is designed for hard work but is beautiful enough that it can be the crown jewel in your knife collection. Technical Specifications: Glass blasted sprint run New and improved Sebenza 31 S35VN blade steel Insingo or tanto blade shape Reeve Integral Lock with Ceramic Ball Interface 6AL4V sandblasted titanium handles Unique glass blasted finish Off-set clip design Overall Length: 8.40" (213.36mm) Blade Length: 3.61" (91.69mm) Blade Thickness: 0.12" (3.07mm) Weight: 4.7oz (133g) Made in Idaho, USA Included in the Sale: This includes everything that CRK provided.

Terms of Sale: $475 is the price, shipped to you in the Lower 48 US States. Shipping will be insured. I'll let you choose USPS, FedEx or UPS depending on what works best for your location. Payment is via PayPal Friends & Family. If you want to use PP Goods & Services, add 3% to the cost to cover the fees. I will ship the next business day after the sale closes. Prefer Local Pickup? Local pickup in Franklin / Spring Hill, Tennessee is possible. I will cut $20 off of the price if you wish to do that.
