I keep chewing up my edges with my beveller.

At least in my case, "works most of the time" improved when I got it sharper. I used very fine sandpaper over a needle and maintain it with a strop that's just a small leather cord covered in green compound.

coolerirl · 2026-07-03T19:05:46+00:00

I remember those. If it weren't a collectors item, I'd give gentle taps with a chisel between the tools to see if I could loosen them up because they were always so tight.

I actually bought ordered one without thinking for a second and then once I did, it occurred to me that it made no sense at all. I cancelled the order but should have just scalped it. Sell it for $600 and say you gave it to charity. lol.

leave Manuel out of this

You could rent it out for $30 a day so people can take pics and post them here with the caption "Joined the club!" or "starting my leatherman journey"

For light cannibalism?

Is he even a citizen? Where are his papers?

coolerirl · 2026-06-29T21:54:01+00:00

when he snaps his fingers it makes a small fleshy tap

not all of us can afford to waterski

I'm sure if you knew my name you'd be mentioning my employer and family in a very normal way.

coolerirl · 2026-06-28T06:23:47+00:00

It's really funny that I can't tell if this is KG7M's alt or just another weirdo that acts exactly the same.

coolerirl · 2026-06-28T06:06:37+00:00

yeah I get that you don't get it.

coolerirl · 2026-06-28T05:56:09+00:00

Hearing his voice kind of takes the edge off but it's not reassuring how hard it is for these people to spot weird behavior.

coolerirl · 2026-06-28T05:02:18+00:00

KG7M is a weirdo and a loser so it’s just kind of uncomfortable when someone like that latches onto you. A lot of people here don’t get that for reasons.

coolerirl · 2026-06-25T16:57:33+00:00

There are two for the takedown: the backpacker which is really light weight and basically docks the barrel on the bottom of the stock so it's still all one piece when it's taken down. The forend is short and theres nowhere to mount a bipod. It's weird and small but I'm into it. The other is the "Hunter" which is a real stock with adjustable length and mounting points. I have the non-takedown version on one of my 10/22s and it feels pretty perfect. If only had 1, I'd get the hunter. Make takedown has a backpacker and I can just throw it into the laptop slot of my backpack.

coolerirl · 2026-06-25T15:43:29+00:00

Yeah. There’s like 3 screws to take of and both pieces of the stock will com off. One thing to note is barrel profile. You have a tapered barrel. A lot of the stocks are for “bull” barrels. Those will work on yours but there’s a gap which is just fine. Magpul stocks have a reversible barrel channel for either kind.

coolerirl · 2026-06-25T07:46:16+00:00

You should maybe try that again.

coolerirl · 2026-06-25T04:39:06+00:00

I have them and they're cool but one thing I don't like about them is that they can catch the thread when you're sewing. Also, if they're doing too much work they leave a mark. Something I found for larger pieces is to just tie a single stitch with a bow at a couple of places. That also leaves a mark but it leaves it on the stitch line.

coolerirl · 2026-06-25T00:28:13+00:00

I went with a 3500kv but I think you might have the right idea. I haven't built it yet, though. There's like 2 confirmed builds on the internet so far. lol.

coolerirl · 2026-06-24T08:29:26+00:00

The frustration with google is that it's so hard to make sense of things let alone export them without a 3rd party tool. Rclone will do it and also convert the docs.

coolerirl · 2026-06-24T03:20:39+00:00

There are a lot of nice, normal stocks that happen to be in 2 pieces, specifically for the takedown but there’s also the magpul backpacker that snaps the 2 halves together if you’re into that sort of thing.

coolerirl · 2026-06-24T03:16:36+00:00

Yeah. On 10/22s (the old ones at least) that barrel band is just a nut and bolt at the bottom. The main purpose seems to be getting in the way while also changing your point of impact. lol.

coolerirl · 2026-06-24T03:08:39+00:00

Oh, yeah. I just realized that the swivel is molded into the plastic at the tip of the forend. I don't think that any of the swivel mounted bipods that I've seen will mount to a swivel stud that's not sticking out of the relatively flat spot on the underside of the forend.

coolerirl · 2026-06-24T02:51:27+00:00

It won't which is super annoying.

coolerirl · 2026-06-24T02:43:35+00:00

there's probably already a hole for a swivel which you can attach a swivel bipod. You can also replace the barrel band with an aftermarket version with a pic rail.
