I don't know why I'm like that either.  I bought my safe, 1,000 rounds of ammo, and my optic before I had even bought my first AR.  The Sec and OGC guys just laughed at me.

Laughed all the way to the bank.

Some "new" furniture from Mother Russia, a bit different when compared to K-var's stuff.   Surprisingly, the Izhmash stuff is of much better quality IMHO :thumbsup:

Just purchased this knife from Knives Ship Free.  A2 steel and African Blackwood handle.  Love this knife!  :thumbsup:

BUT, will take some skill to sharpen when needed since it has a convex curve.

nice knife what brand is that
a2 steel isnt that bad to sharpen. just get a leather strop and some fine silicone carbide sandpaper for when it really dulls down past stropping.

It is a Bark River Bravo 1.  It is not the steel I am concerned with (I have an Edge Pro Apex), but the convex curve of the blade = cannot use conventional sharpening techniques.  I have a leather (barber's) strop - works GREAT!

Thanks for the tip, I heard that using sandpaper that can "bend" to the curve will sharpen the blade well.  :shaka:

NP.  There are videos out there that explain/show how to sharpen it.

How you like the edge pro?  & what stones do you use?

Got some budget optics. Holographic sight with a 5x magnifier. They appear to be constructed well. Just wondering how long the sight will hold zero being that it's not a 500$ sight. We shall see.

nice! i just missed a cheap demo model on ebay a couple weeks back. i cant wait to pick one up for a lightweight build. cheapest i found so far is 48 from midway.

if you didnt already check out those paracord add ons you should. it makes it look more like a magpul moe/ctr style, plus it helps make sure the stock doesnt hook anything. not only that you get an extra stash of paracord on hand.  :thumbsup: i was gonna attempt to make my own when i finally get my hands on a minimalist stock.

Rocky is correct.... the towel not only makes it dark.  But it protects the cat from the weather elements.   I hate stinky wet pussys
