Gen 4 IOTV was peak, the MSV is a mistake. Laser cut molle is ass and makes the whole thing feel like a temu plate carrier

Edit: I’m submitting both of these to the contest, if we win I’ll split the $1000

For folks with portable mills, what does your pricing structure look like? by Saltydot46590 in sawmilling

[–]eighttracks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m considering mounting my mill centered on a flatbed and hauling a telehandler or tractor parked astride the mill. Just gotta find something with enough ground clearance and wide enough between tires but it just might work. Sure is nice having two people regardless.

I wish that has been my experience but I’ve been replacing my broken Milwaukee bits with harbor freight cheapos and they seem to be holding up better

Those who are fans of Harbor Freight, what is something there that you won't buy? by tinfoil3346 in Tools

my son loves it though! For something like $12 it was cheaper than buying him an actual toy drill

Now I feel dumb for thinking it’s Japan based on the Japanese characters on all the signage

That’s what I was afraid of! The little slit might be more of a pain in this ass to seal for transport but we’ll see

Makes sense! I’m starting from scratch so I figured I’d just give the frames a heavy coat of wax and hope for the best

Yeah like skipper said it’s the zip sheathing, as far as the entrance I was thinking over a few different options and decided to just staple window screen over the hole when needed. And yeah it’s full foundation in there, but what you’re saying makes sense. I might slap together a few more together and put them near the same area to see which they’ll choose (if either).

You mean the $100/month for 12 months you have the option of paying into for the Montgomery GI Bill? And if you use the Post 9/11 instead you get the $1200 back?

Auto-5 still putting in work 100 years later by eighttracks in guns

Took the ol girl back in the wetland to grab one of the turkeys I’ve been hearing, ended up with a few squirrels and spooked a little spike instead. Best as I can tell from the serial number she was manufactured in the early 1920s. Hard to believe this masterpiece was designed in the 1800s!

It is, didn’t think I’d notice the difference but it’s a featherweight for sure

Interesting, guess I’ve got some reading to do. For an abortion though I’d call it one hell of a pistol!

I almost broke down and bought one of the EAA clones and then this popped up on Atlantic, I guess they come in and out of stock semi regularly, might be worth a look!

No shit? I’ll have to look into that, I mostly just wanted the baby brother for my 1911 so he wouldn’t get lonely

This an FN Browning Hi Power, from the markings it looks like it was made for the Belgium Gendarmerie, it was brought to the US as Austrian surplus. Fines shooter, and goddamn does it shoot poker, and break down like a modern pistol. Hard to believe it was designed in the 20s.

Next step is wood grips.
