It took about 6 weeks to acknowledge the receipt of my packet (sent snail mail, 9/12/20), but then it moved at warp speed... relatively... I got my e-mail saying that they were processing my order on 11/2/20, and I had rifle in hand on 11/6/20... the day after my birthday...
My 19 Gen 4 came with three different grip inserts... they fit my grown-man hands as well as my daughter's hands too. I've not found the finger grooves to be all that distracting...
Well, before this thread takes a major dump... I lived in AZ for years before moving here. I went through the original CCW stuff before they became a constitutional carry state. That's said, it seems strange to me that an AZ LEO would just arbitrarily search a car like this... maybe times have...
Delica 4 is my EDC knife. I bought a PM2 and fell in love with it as a backpacking blade. I switch between the PM2 and a Benchmade Griptillian for backpacking.
I've not owned a Gransfors Bruks axe, but have been looking at them for some time... I always seem to get out bid on ebay.
My working/camping/bushcraft axes are a Marbles and a Cold Steel Camp ax... added together I think they were less than the Gransfors I've been looking at
I bought a used Austrian made M17 Gen 1 years ago... I think I spent $400 on it at the time. I bought a new (in the box) M19 Gen 4 with the upgrade recoil spring assembly for $450. The trigger took a bit of getting used to... I'm a 1911 guy... but both are completely reliable and reasonably...
Interesting thread... I bought a used Charter Arms version back in the '90's (?). Downsides: A "traveling zero" every time I took it down and reassembled... I think I can count on one hand the number of times I ran an entire mag without a FTF or FTE... accuracy was abysmal regardless of ammo...
Oooh... I love it when you call me names! lol! Seriously though... I had a Japanese made Tasco 36x World Class that I absolutely kick myself for parting with. At the time, I was more into fixed power scopes. I kept the Leupold M8 12x... it's currently on my .308 match rifle while I'm doing load...
Some of the Japanese scopes are great! I still go online in the hopes of finding an older Tasco World Class that's running under the radar... before a lot of vendors switched to something other than brass bushings and smaller parts. The glass was respectable too. I was looking at Leupolds on...
I hope so... I thought they were made in USA though. The one I received is Made in the Philippines. I looked up reviews and see that the Asian made versions seem to be as good as their older American made counterparts. I guess time will tell. After rings, I'll be slightly over my $300 budget...
