I see it carried on. Second batch included 2 AR15 pattern rifles and a pistol I couldn't identify.

AKs, R/LMs and a Dashprod for the rifles. Pistols look like a Glock and maybe a Beretta 92/Taurus PT something.

In the event you haven't come right yet.

Thanks, much appreciated. A member of my club said on sat that he has one for me which he's digging out so I think I'm sorted.

Greetings everyone.

Again just trying out my luck first.

Looking for a Glock 43X MOS package deal, before I go and purchase a new G43X MOS, preferably in the Gauteng area, hoping that someone maybe switched to something else or different model etc.

Quote from: JamesNotBond on Jan 11, 2025, 10:30 PMInteresting post this is. 40 years ago we made handles by wrapping thin rope, cord around a knife or tool that had been wetted with surfboard resin. We would wrap one layer wet it with resin and wrap again and again. The last wrap had a brick tied to loose end and left hanging in the vice overnight.
We would then shape and polish the end product as a school holiday achievement, no cell phones, TV to brain dead us back then.
***************************
We did exactly that as well, my father would join us and add copper wire and other things like coins to the back of handle. Greenshields Park kids, we grew up proper me thinks. I recall using super glue on wood then polishing it, and burning wood for natural patterns, sanding it to various degrees and dipping in resin. We would then polish the resin BY HAND, till it was like glass.
I wonder where all the stuff we made ended up, some of it was pretty enough to be someone's treasure.
Oh yea ! One more thing was copper earth strapping, the flat braided type. We cleaned it super shiny and the did the resin thing. Was super pretty, but never lasted long because we did not know how to deactivate the pool acid - neutralize it.
Ya we played with pool acid as kids.

Haven't come across that technique before. Sounds like it could look really lekker and I'm sure it was very functional. I have an ancient integral hatchet with a rotted away stacked leather handle that would be nice to try that out on.
