    I've seen a lot of impressive work in these forums, you guys/gals are seriously good at what you do, so it's a little embarrassing to post my noobish work next to the professionals, but here goes. These are my first attempts at rear bags...

    D.I.Y. Rear Bags

    Sorry, double posted. So I'll add some pics here. This is the paracord loop on the front of my wedge, I sewed up to the corner on it, stopped about 1/4" from the actual corner, measured a loop big enough to put my hand through, marked the paracord with a sharpie, then put the loop through the...

    D.I.Y. Rear Bags

    I left about 3" of a seam open which was enough to turn the bag inside out so the stitched seam was inside and then whip stitched the opening once I was done filling the bags. Will post pics of that for you though. And I'd be happy to post templates once I find them. The wife rearranged her...

    Rear squeeze bag

    Re: I / my wife needs better kitchen knives. I know that I was always skeptical of the Ginsu commercials till we got a set as a weddnig present. Will shave your finger nails if you get close enough and you don't even feel the pulling sensation when you're doing it. Scares the poo poo out of...

    Wrist Dope

    Re: Wrist Dope I'm probably just stating the obvious here. Though it's a great repurposing of the scuba wrist slate there and it's a great idea, durable product and water proof to boot.... it's white and would make a great target for return fire. Though you may just spray paint the outermost...

    Who sells Dessicant/ Silica packs?

    I just saw that Legacy Sports/Howa have got ATI removable magazine kits on their website for sale and I was wondering if anyone has gotten one of these kits or a rifle with the kit installed already. If so, would you recommend it or recommend to stay away from it. Thank you in advance

    Fieldcraft For those afraid to paint their weapons.......

    Re: For those afraid to paint their weapons....... I may be using your advice on a rifle in the near future. I have a stock with paint that's starting to rub off and chip. Not sure what kind of paint was used but this way seems the simplest to remove the paint. Will post before and result...
