SEE ALL open sight. Anyone seen or tried one yet?
MacGyver replied to jaxjohn419's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
It's a pretty neat concept. I'll look forward to hearing peoples' impressions. -
If a Lorcin and a S&W Sigma had a baby, this would be it. It's a $250 piece of junk.

Jeff Randall is a heck of a good guy. I think I've got an RC-3-mil if you want to put your hands on one.

I've chopped a bunch of wood over the years. While I'm sure that the guy in this video benefits from using well seasoned straight-grained wood, this take on the axe is pretty neat: http://www.vipukirves.fi/english/description.htm [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jDR_2Zsr40 [/media] And, the tire on the chopping block is genius.

Nice find from back in the day. Those Carbon V blades were great.

You are a dedicated, dedicated man. I've been to Blade a couple of times over the years and always hope to get the chance to go. I'm fairly certain your calendar may actually be defined by the show. If you're married, your wife is terribly indulgent :) -
I've never gotten that excited about that particular line. They're nice enough, but for that price I'd love to see them in something other than 440a and 154CM.

I can really only keep up with one thread, and Willis started this one as the official one. You guys have both been here a long time. I'd love to see you both get what you want. I'm going to put you provisionally at #14 per the other thread, but y'all work it out and let me know. -

I used to have one. They had their critics, but mine operated just fine. That said, I far prefer the .22LR PPK variant, the PP 22. It's definitely one of the most reliable pistols that I've ever owned, and is a pleasure to shoot. It's a pistol I'll never get rid of. I don't know that I'd pay current prices for a TPH. I'd buy a PP 22 again in a heartbeat.

Okay, I'm starting a list for serials within this thread. Serial requests have been added in order of posting in this thread. If you've added your name and not requested a serial, I've put you at the bottom of this list. By my quick tally, we're at 40 people in. For those of you who didn't request a specific serial but would like one, just let me know. 00 - TGO David 01 - Willis68 02 - MacGyver 03 - TripleDigitRide 04 - gjohnsoniv 05 - hipower/capbyrd - hipower was first in this thread, but indicated willingness for a couple of others.

I'm in. I'll be posting a serial number list shortly. -
What if law enforcement rolls up on the scene after a defensive shoot? Do you want to be standing around with a gun in your hand - fumbling to get it holstered? What if you're injured and need to reholster to administer first aid to yourself? What about administering aid to someone else? Ever seen what happens when one of those "safe action" pistols gets something caught in the trigger guard upon reholstering? A lot of those "accidents" are from worn out or collapsed holsters entering the trigger guard. Those incidents often present the subsequent opportunity to administer the above mentioned first aid to yourself. There are plenty of reasons you want a rigid opening at the mouth of your holster. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't been through some formal training to do so and you'll clearly see the reasons for yourself. Remember, it's not just your gun that matters. Your weapon and the accessories you attach, your holster, your belt and you all matter. It's the combined set that makes an effective weapon system. Edit to add: I can also vouch for both DM Bullard and Kramer Leather. They've both got reinforcement strips that'll prevent the holster from collapsing. And, they're both really nice folks to boot.

Worn out AR-15 bolt carrier or ?
MacGyver replied to Luke E.'s topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
I'm guessing you have some excessive wear on either or both the inside of the bolt carrier and the exterior of the bolt itself as evidenced by the slop as you move it by hand. Add a little bit of upward pressure from the round in the magazine and it kicks out of tolerance just far enough that it's binding. That's why if you drop the magazine and/or rack it by hand without a magazine in place it'll appear to do just fine. I'd bet that if you were to take a micrometer to the separate pieces you'd find #1 out of tolerance. -
We've actually had members ask us to ban them so they could get their lives back. I'm guessing the internet didn't work out for them in the end.
-
The problem should be fixed. Let me know if you guys continue to experience issues.
-
So, we need to know about it when we've got restaurant owners on TGO. You've got to spend your money somewhere. I'd just assume support someone I know.
-
Some of our banned accounts had been using hundreds of IP addresses. If y'all have the ability and don't mind, next time it happens, note your external IP address and PM me with it. There could be some overlap.
-
Weird. Let me know if it continues to be an issue.

Steve, David's got the artwork. Let me know if you need help. Feel free to give me a call next week if you'd like to discuss.
