Anyone interested in this awesome rifle I found on Armslist?

I was at a house party a few months and one of the hosts was given a Slap It as a Christmas gift....

The more people consumed, the funnier it was.....

Serious Question - does casual exposure to fiberglass - say crawling through an attic have the same potential for cancer/ jack up lungs as asbestos?

There are significant differences between Fiberglass and Asbestos exposures. No, casual exposure to FG is not the same, even long term exposure to FG is not the same. Asbestos fibers have characteristics that are very different to FG. Getting health and safety or industrial hygene information from a firearms forum is kind of like getting firearms information from a CNN article.
 
Train from Kleine Scheidigg, coming down to Wengernalp/Canadian corner, to Wengen, on to Lauterbrunnen. Looking at Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, Silberhorn und Schilthorn.....Berner Oberland. (y)(y)(y)

Thought that might be the North Face of the Eiger. On the bucket list. Not climbing it, just going there. :)

Please take it from me and MAYO CLINIC, WEAR A RESPERATOR,!!!!!!!!! You can get them about any safety store, I am paying the price now, mask up and save your lungs!!!! Charlie 112
 
I noticed that every time I put something up in my attic I would cough for an hour or two. Now I wear one of these when I go up there that I had for use when painting stuff

Actually with the cloud cover and the fast pan of the video, it's the west face, above Eigergletscher. But, at Kleine Sheidegg station, you're sitting almost right at the base of the Nordwand/Northface. Just take the train up, you won't miss it, it's right there.

It is quite stunning, I highly recommend it (before our Memorial Day/after our Labor Day). Many of the hotels & restaurants close down between the end of September & the first week of November. Many of the hospitality industry workers are foreign (Italian, Hungarians, Poles, etc) and they go home to visit their families. 5 months on, 1 month off....

But, the good news is that the crowds are thin. Middle of summer ? No Way :mad:

No.... it's dose response relationship..... exposure x time. For peace of mind buy a box of disposable dust masks (3M 8710 or similar) and wear one when around fiberglass. On the box look for the approval NIOSH and N95 efficiency.
 
I don’t know if it’s the same as, but anything that goes to your lungs, stays in your lungs. Fiberglass strands will be with you forever. Carbon fiber... that’s scary stuff if not treated with respect.

I tell my employees all the time that by the time you realize there is an issue, it’s too late. Protect yourself now!

Keep in mind that dust masks are made to be used by people without beards. A beard prevents a good seal from forming between the mask and face.

There a lot of guns in the guitar case but where are the mags?
Maybe underneath?

Im thinking a smaller case (parlor guitar) with a pistol and a LAW folder or Maxim brace like @Veer_G was showing a while back. And like 6-7 mags.
CCW piece and spare mag on person.

I played a bit of guitar in my younger days and a full size hard case is not handy. Loaded with guns and mags it might be not so easy.

I am looking to build a custom insert for either an Osprey or Patagonia (or the like) pack to carry my AR pistol.
Prefer a Kifaru 14er and would like to be discreet as possible. Pretty easy to blend in around Denver if you look granola enough.
You have obviously not watched Desperado.
