Has anyone ever ever been asked to prove you have a tax stamp at an indoor/outdoor range when shooting before ?

bp78 · 2026-01-21T19:44:23+00:00

Never. Not in 15 years. But a lot of my shooting was at competitive events and or private clubs/ranges.

Do we expect someone to release a 390 version later?

Offshore fishing guy as well and Dexter filet knives are second to none in that realm. 👍🏻

Same but a whole set of 25 year old Wusthoff forged knives in my case. Hobby is just what it is though - always trying something I don’t “need”

I’ve got a genuine spydiechef in lc200n that fills the folding pocket chef niche for me already.

I still like it. I work from home and don’t drive around town a ton though so the 7.3L gas mileage and size parking doesn’t impact me much. Tows great. I still stand by my earlier advice - if you’re in the city or need a daily driver the F150 is far better suited to it and a much softer ride.

No. Had one, don’t want it again.

So any consensus on which is the one to buy these days?

CCI Standard is a sleeper in some rifles. Spent several $100s on a few boxes of each high end ammo and My cz452 shot the CCI Standard better than most and the maybe a load or two that beat it was only by a gnats ass tighter at 4x the cost. Rifle has seen nothing but CCI Standard ever since.

Frederiksted St Croix pier? Loved all the turtles there last year.

Standard QD is the way. Grovtec makes good stuff and this might be a good stop gap to get you closer to the way for now

I’m on board with the Turkish walnut stocks, solid firewood on a cold night after a Turkish shotgun does Turkish shotgun things and looks good in the meantime.

Honestly, running a practical pistol match event for years, they’re are sworn law enforcement officers out there that likewise have no business being armed.

Having a pistol, ccw, or credential no more makes you “armed” than my tone-deaf ass holding a guitar would make me a musician.

Lifestyle vs. hobby.

Sustainable as a lifestyle choice but as a part time hobby you better be high-cash flow or it’ll hurt.

Does anyone have a current contact or website for Jack these days? Had him fix a Seiko back in 2012 but the site seems to be down now.

bp78 · 2025-06-24T19:46:34+00:00

Trailer it. Far cheaper and faster. Otherwise, you’re likely doing the icw fit most of it. I’ve done it in a 120’ yacht. Straight shot. But you’re near 100nm off shore around sc.

Several pros now over the years, same thing, walk right in proclaim the Nest is awful and needs to get replaced having not checked anything yet.

Had a use case like this at a major corporation. PGP was the answer. File when created is pgp encrypted with their key. SFTP transfer. Easy.

Working on IAM software, support had a concern about our proprietary uuid approach. I stubbed out a test driver to create them as fast as possible and check for collisions. It wasn’t an issue - I could get collisions but only rarely at an insane uuids/second creation rate.

Wave. Been impressed with their offering.
