Regardless the orange peel is ubiquitous and disgusting. I recently saw a BMW i8 that looked worse than the Prius parked next to it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HappyCamel:
I got rear ended on the Merrit by the Milford exit pretty hard and it totaled the Benz. I'm stuck here for the next few years at the least so I wanted to stick with 4wd, so I picked up a 2017 WRX in Dark Grey Metallic. Beautiful paint but I hear horror stories about how chip prone it can be. Almost all the paint on the market is shit and orange peels since the regulations changed mid 2000s  . VOCs have their place.
Eta: most fun I've had in a car is a guy who had a racing Porsche, totally gutted not a spec of interior. The sensation on a on/off ramp curve was like a rollercoaster. I physically couldn't stop smiling. STI? I have been in a few modded WRX's that were blisteringly fast. Its amazing what you can get out of those engines with very little work. |

The STI still has the old 2.5 with all its problems and weakness. Headgaskets for days. Mine has the new 2.0 direct injected twin scroll turbo powerplant. Sucks this state doesn't have E85. The new powerplant makes monster power on it very safely with a tune and very minimal supporting work. |

The lock up is great when it is closed (in firing position). When it is open (folded) there is no lock holding it in the fully folded position. There is a pressure ball and a notch (like the ball that holds a socket on the wrench) but its pretty weak. You can loosen or tighten the hinge screw to adjust the tension for opening/closing and make it harder to swing but Id like to see if hold more firmly in the fully folded position. I just put it on so Im gonna go read up a little bit.
It is heavier than I was expecting, thats about all the bad I have to say about it so far. |

Everything Ive read says you can get one round off in an emergency but you'll probably break it.
There is a locking mechanism that keeps the BCG in place, but you might break something holding that mechanism in place. |

Greg at JOJOs made me a G10 bolster for my Sebenza 25 to match the grips on my carry pistol. Came out perfect. The originals were CF and were slick. He previously did a set for the Nealy Aikuchi tanto.

Conn,
That light rail on the 1911. Is that a bolt on? Who made it? I would like to buy, or maybe make one, for my preban p226. |

When Jojos made the Colt for me, their rail gun was not yet available so I added the rail. Only issue is it sits low and needed a custom holster. Novak makes one that sits tighter and is closer to a factory frame rail. |

I've got the Novak rail on mine. Like Conn said, it sits a little lower. I had to use a heat gun on my raven holster to get it to fit.

Of course it came out about a month after my pistol was done. The Caspian is so low there were no holsters that you could modify with a heat gun like yours. The only holster that was drop in was a Safariland drop leg. Not exactly practical.

Would like to try to make one for old Sig. Not sure if practical. Or maybe just find an old trigger guard mount that Surefire use to make and call it done. |

Sunday evening boredom brought on this project
Made a sheath/holster for this hatchet my SO got me for Christmas. I haven't decided on the beltloop or clip etc so there is no attachment point yet but that's the easy part anyways. It'll rivet right onto the back, whatever I end up doing.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

The little fold is to create a ridge to push it open with your thumb. I was losing interest so I called it quits tonight but I'm going to unfold it and roll it over to create a lip for accessory cord to go through the rivets, holding it closed if backpacking or something.
