MacGyver

I carried that same CRKT knife for a couple of years. I don't know what it was about that clip, but the combo of the clip and the thumb stud in such close proximity could wear through a pair of jeans faster than any other knife I've ever had. +1 on the grip extension. And despite the abundance of .380 pocket rockets available today - I don't know that the Seecamp's equal has been produced, yet.

  Can we nix the creatively misspelled bad words designed to get around the filter?  I know some of you don't necessarily care for it, but we've got it in place for a reason.

Man, you were on the list of people who made an account over at CMT and got it converted to the TGO group.  You should have gotten at least one email with instructions from CMT on October 11th -not to mention all the talk in the threads here of ordering being open.   Sorry!

You could call these guys:  http://prbutcher.com/   Likewise, you might check with a local processor.

I'm closing this thread.    Everybody's had ample opportunity to say everything they wanted to say, and yet I doubt that anyone has changed their minds about anything.   So, congratulations.  I guess.

I've got you.   I've got a Micro Eagle as well.  It's a well built little pistol, but the Seecamp is in a whole different class. 

Make sure you don't get a "California edition" without handling it first.  The safety is pretty wonky on those models IMO.   They're very well built.  Your grandkids will likely fight over it long after you're gone.

I've always enjoyed the Seecamp family.  Great little pistols.   Why the .32 instead of the .380?  Other than 5 hundredths on the grip width, they're the same size and capacity.    I haven't priced them in a while, but I'm guessing the .380 is still seeing a bit of premium on the price.

Agreed. But as soon as the bedwetters figure out that this guy: Used the same components that make this: Combined in bulk to do this: They're going to try and ban it. We all know it's pointless, but it doesn't mean they're not going to work themselves up trying to criminalize it. I mean, you can't even go and buy your kid a chemistry set anymore...

Years ago I used to keep a quarter for a payphone in my wallet - but when's the last time you saw one of those?   These days I use this on the back of my phone - license, HCP, one card and a couple business cards.  I've been using it for a year or so, and just don't find myself needing more since all the affinity/membership cards can be scanned off your phone these days

I'm frankly surprised you can still buy Tannerite in it's branded form.  There have been plenty of people who have caused a whole lot of trouble by combining the components on their own en masse.   It'll get banned as soon as it generates enough attention.

Y'all realize that this election was for the Houston Community College Board, right?

  That's just a limitation of the software as it stands.    Maybe an update will come out at some point to address it, but it's not something we can influence or change on our end by somehow adjusting a setting.

My comment was directed towards the users who commented that they'd like to be able to post pictures directly.   The forum software's basis is filtering is certainly a security issue.  There have been a host of hacks that have born out the concern.   But, as a practical matter, as consumers of this forum software - not developers, we're kind of limited in what we can do anyway.  The only files that are allowed are types that are whitelisted.  Remove that list, and the software won't allow you to link anything.  To look at your original image above, this has more to do with how some web servers are hosting image files and the fact that it's not listing an extension.  So, your image above is a valid .png file, but since the hosting server doesn't list an extension, IPB isn't going to allow it.  Maybe at some point they'll update to looking at mime-type, but it's not something that David or I can influence.

I can't imagine how our database would grow if we started allowing people to post pictures at will.  Discount the potential security issues (known and unknown) with allowing users to upload files entirely.  Subtract potential legal issues with hosting images we don't own, and it's still not something we're really going to be interested in doing.  It simply boils down to performance issues. We already spend a ton of time balancing performance with database size.  One poorly resized picture could literally consume the database space of thousands of threads with pictures linked from external sources.    I just don't see it happening.

Most of the major insurance carriers have exclusions that essentially require their insureds to prohibit weapons if they want to remain insured.  I expect you can get away with it when you're a smaller company, but when you get big enough that they actually start auditing your practices, it's going to come up.

The city museum. Trust me.

That's a great looking knife.

Yes. I think we've got enough to do it. I'll leave this open for another week or so and then assign names.

It's still going to be a little while, yet.   Uppers are still being machined.  Per the last update I got from Jeff, they plan to ship them out to be anodized on the 18th.  With the holiday, they hope to have them back and start shipping them out by the 10th of December.  So, assuming everything proceeds as planned, we should have no problem with having these in folks hands in time for Christmas - just like we originally hoped.

Welcome to TGO, everyone!  Having spent the first 18 years of my life in Atlanta, I still have a fondness for the place.  Y'all have a lot of law from a firearms perspective that we would love to have up here in Tennessee.  Unfortunately, taking this same walk in any park in any major metro area in Tennessee would have you arrested with a different end result.   I'll be honest in saying that my first impulse is to shut this thread down - for two reasons.  One, is that we suddenly have an influx of people from outside of our immediate community coming onto the board to jump into this thread.  The second is that experience tells me that these open carry threads generally only go one way, and that folks will keep pushing the issue as long as they have a platform to speak.  I'm going to go against my impulse for now and keep this thread open, but everyone please be cognizant of TGO's code of conduct.  This thread is on thin ice, so to speak.   After reading the initial article that was posted here, the court documents and the majority of the thread over on GeorgiaPacking, here's the thing that just doesn't sync up for me - I just can't level set that this particular walk on this particular day had to result in Mr. Proescher getting arrested.    I'll agree that he shouldn't have been arrested.  I'd like to support his ability to carry openly.  It wasn't long ago in Georgia that this by itself would have constituted a crime.  I'm glad the security company settled and the Mr. Proescher got enough money for a nice AR out of it (though I will say that I've never seen a settlement agreement that doesn't have a confidentiality clause that prohibits talking about the outcome).  I'm glad this case hopefully resulted in some better training for somebody.  But, I fail to see how this case advances our rights, our agenda at large as gun owners or our message with the public at large.   This isn't the Woolworth's lunch counter, y'all.   I know that we trend towards these all or nothing positions these days, but I'd argue that we can all step back from the edge just a little bit.   I'd argue that there's some distance between Gestapo'ish "papers please" police force and a police officer who's just trying to figure out if a person with a gun on his hip represents a threat.   I'd argue that there's a little distance between helping less-informed officers understand the law as it exists and being non-cooperative.   I'd argue that there's some distance between being civil and how these encounters so often go.   There's some distance between having the government on your front porch and going to seek the man out so you can poke him with a stick.   I'll give Mr. Proescher a wide latitude as he presents his version of events.  But, I personally level set that with his statement in his signature over on GeorgiaPacking that he "will not answer questions, I will not produce identification."  I'll level set it with the fact that he left his license in the car, but brought his recorder with him.  I'd argue that had he presented a license - despite the fact that the law does not technically require it - he would have driven out of there that afternoon.   Like I said, I'll give the gentleman a bit of latitude, but looking at what we do know - regardless of whether the guard changed his story or not - it sure looks like he went out that day prepared to be detained, whether or not he actually expected it when it happened.   This case may actually hurt the community because now there's opinion in Georgia that open carrying is reasonable suspicion to detain.  I didn't see in the GeorgiaPacking thread that the decision was going to be appealed.    I'm sorry, but I just don't see how this helps the community of gun owners at large. 

Truth is, the vast majority of trans fats are already gone. The FDA is well behind the class action industry. They've just codified the threats.

Correct. It's a pretty simple tool with a jig to index it and make sure it turns at the proper twist rate.

I actually think in the case of the gun printed above they printed the barrel with rifling. But, it's worth picking up a copy of Foxfire 5. It's got a couple hundred pages of old school flintlock making with great descriptions of how they rifled their handmade barrels. I'm not saying the average joe is going to start rifling his own barrels; just that it's worth it to learn how they used to do it.

Rifling isn't necessary when you're talking Archduke Ferdinand distances that get the political class all itchy.
