    Speical Operations Equiptment

    I've run SOE gear for awhile now, and it is completely bomb proof. As said above, its not all about frills and putting PALS webbing on every millimeter of space, its about being durable and tough as hell and working exactly as designed. My micro rig has survived many classes, and is better than...

    tomahawk talk to me.

    Yeah, I used a coal forge and heated it and worked the head out with a hammer. Then I cut the claws shorter, hammered them tight and drew them to a spike, then heated it and hardened it with an oil quench, then I tempered it to about 54 Rockwell, which would be soft for a knife, but it being a...

    Building an M14/M1A

    My only real gripe is it adds weight to an already heavy weapons system. I'll get it on a scale to make sure, but Id say it's in the neighborhood of 15 lbs with the scope, bipod and a loaded 20 rd mag. If you plan to shoot from supported postions for the most part then its awesome, but if you...

    Building an M14/M1A

    I finally added glass yesterday. Scope is a Vortex Viper PST 6-24 x50mm with Vortex precision rings, mounted on QD risers. Bipod is a Leapers 7" for bench work, but I have a Harris 13-25" I will be using normally for field stuff since I can shoot prone, sitting and kneeling with it. I also plan...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Spent some time in the blacksmith shop today

    I'm a blacksmith by trade, I learned it from my old man. It helps me relieve some stress by beating on shit with a big hammer. Anyways, I fired up the forge today and made these two. The hawk is made from a 28 oz Estwing framing hammer and the knife is from a 1095 Nicholson file with oak handle...

    Cool story bro. I'm new here, but on most forums its considered rude to go around posting your stuff for sale in discussion threads. You aren't trying to help other members, your pimping you're shit. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

    Building an M14/M1A

    Yeah, I'm a fan of big knives, and while it takes a lot of work in the forge, its a hell of a lot cheaper than buying one. Tapatalk ate my spelling.
