Finally got off the fence after emailing back and forth with Antoine for 2+ years.

@CTMike should have left your address so I at least had a chance of porch pirating that baby! Nice oven!

If you can lift 800 lbs to pirate it, I ain’t going to try and stop you.

Case of #2s for an upcoming trip to Arkansas. $15 off coupon, free shipping and a $50 rebate... about $12 a box, not bad!

Picked up the 10/22 Takedown on Friday. 


Also ordered some parts from Tandemkross (they're in NH, so I'll get the stuff pretty fast). Their trigger group set, including their trigger, charging handle replacement, item to make it easier to drop the bolt (one handed) and extended mag release. I'm going to see how I like the factory stock, before deciding if I want to replace it with the backpack version from Magpul. 

Factory triggers on the Ruger 22LR firearms isn't even close to what I'd call good, or usable. But, it's easy to get much better triggers (from Tandemkross especially) to make them MUCH better. As in around a 2# trigger once you're done. 10# (or above) triggers are just stupid IMO. Hell, anything above 5# on any of my firearms gets replaced quickly. Well, except for the muzzle loader I was gifted since there's no way to replace that setup. One of the reasons I've not taken that out to shoot yet.

Just placed an order for more Cerakote colors... The ones I have now were bought about a year ago. I haven't even opened them, but have noticed the content level has reduced on at least one of them. They say to use within a year of creation, which these are about that point. So, new order placed. Since I'm off for the next two weeks, I should have time to actually apply the color to what needs it before that's over.

Getting ready to order an AR9 80% lower too.

AR9 80% lower ordered.

Well, didn't buy but a "Mystery Box" from my brother.  He didn't know which knife it was.

Nice! Murray Carter is the real deal when it comes to Japanese knives. The knives that he and his apprentices make (the Muteki line) are fantastic.
He just started a joint venture with Spyderco a few months ago that will have a few styles of knives at a pretty reasonable price point.

@nolaegghead: Didn’t know they made kitchen knives. Love Nakiris. Far less chance of accidentally stabbing oneself. Me thinks your brother is a keeper.

Anyone need a last minute gift?....

The knives in that line are technically not made by Spyderco or Carter. They are made in Japan by a manufacturer that makes the knives to Carter's design and Spyderco's specs.

I did that a couple of years ago, it is such a great idea.

Bought a Holosun 507C-GR for the 10/22 Takedown today along with a pair of 25 round magazines... I'll take it to the range once I install the parts coming from Tandemkross (which has shipped and I should have before the end of the week).

Boos block so my old bamboo board won’t chip the knives. Thanks for the advice. Yes, I know of the rinse aid, thanks.

Just purchased a few more Cutco table knives. Christmas dinner here. We somehow managed to lose one, and never seem to have enough

Thanks,

I bought it a week before reading Kitchen Confidential and learning that I would only really need three knives, I felt like a dummy. I loved the book but have used most of the knives.

You only use three knives if you only have three good ones. I use all of mine as well.

Time to buy myself all the gifts I didn't get. Air compressor, miter saw, tile saw, nail gun, 6 foot box level, and maybe a new vw atlas. My wife is fighting me on that one...

Nice... Which model?? Single or double stack?? I've been thinking about their double stack 1911 in 9mm, but it's not in the budget yet.

Plan to get to Williams-Sonoma in the next few days to pick up a 6" chef knife. Planning either the Shun Kaji or Premier line. I love the Kaji slicer I have, so I'm leaning more towards that line.

Leupold Mark 5 HD for the new 6.5 CM gas gun. Of course I gotta buy new rings too because they had to go and make a 35mm tube. Good thing the scope was on sale!
