    Sidearms & Scatterguns K-BAR restoration?

    I have to agree with @gunsnjeeps. The particular scars and marks on your grandfather's knife are precisely what makes it special -- unique among all the millions of similar knives that have been manufactured over the years. KA-BAR will sell you a shiny new knife for around a hundred dollars...

    Tikka TAC A1 scope mounting

    Update: The sunshade fits. As predicted, the AADMOUNT cap clears the rail by about 50 thousandths of an inch.

    Tikka TAC A1 scope mounting

    L: 46" (with maxed-out LOP and a Little Bastard brake) W: 4" (across the scope windage/parallax knobs) H: 11" (base of my MPA EVG grip to the top of the elevation turret -- I think the factory Tikka grip is slightly shorter) By the way, you may want to examine that NcSTAR case closely before...

    Tikka TAC A1 scope mounting

    Sure, and I'll post later tonight with the answers to your other questions. The 4602 and the 4603B have the same height and rake, but the 4603B has more distance between the rings. Both will fit the Razor HD Gen2 4.5-27x56. In an SP-4602, the scope has 0.3 inches of fore-and-aft adjustment...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex holster maker in Northern California?

    It's this thing. I'll call him, but I'll be very surprised if he already has a mold for the SBAL.

    Thanks. Too far for me to visit in person for this job, but now he's on my list for the future.

    Thank you. Hadn't heard of him before, but his stuff looks great in the photos he's posted. I'll call him.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex holster maker in Northern California?

    Excellent idea. I've avoided calguns.net for years in favor of quieter, more thoughtful forums like this one, but of course you're right -- if there's someone in this area who can do it, he or she will be on calguns. Thank you.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Night sights

    Trijicon will replace the vials for like $20 when they fade. Does XS offer the same service, or do you have to drill/glue your own replacements?

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    Ok, so I'm not going to switch from Spyderco... But I borrowed the wife's EDC 707 Sequel the other day and now I see why you guys like your 940s so much. The Sequel is a solid little knife, and that Axis lock is genius.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dot Sight For G22?

    Oh, and one more thing to consider with a long sight like that Ultradot: If the window is mounted too close to the ejection port, some guns may eject brass into it, and/or the window can get fouled with carbon. The carbon doesn't matter too much on the front (muzzle) side of the window if...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dot Sight For G22?

    I can see the appeal of that combo -- it's inexpensive, it allows DIY installation with no permanent mods to the gun, and the mount is generic so other optics can potentially be swapped in -- but there might be some issues with it. I don't know anything about Glocks or that particular sight...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FNX 45 Tactical Red Dot Woods Defense (RMR / Deltapoint / etc)

    Then get the Trijicon RMR (if you're still trying to decide after all these weeks). There may be good reasons for choosing the Deltapoint -- bigger window, untinted glass, etc. -- but it's hard to imagine that it could be more rugged or reliable than the RMR. If you search the web for "rmr...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex holster maker in Northern California?

    I've got an unusual pistol setup that nobody has a mold for, so I'm looking for a custom holster maker. Found a guy in Florida who will probably do excellent work, but I'd really prefer someone who's local to me -- to avoid having to ship the thing back and forth between FFLs, and in case I...

    Tikka TAC A1 scope mounting

    In the unlikely event that the OP is still looking for a photo of a Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27x56 mounted on a Tac A1, here's mine with AADMOUNT caps. With a Spuhr SP-4603B mount (1.496" high, 20.6MOA rake), the objective cap clears the rail by 0.0750" -- six playing cards (0.0690") will fit in...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    Yeah, it looks to me as though any tip that will fit an Etymotic GPS-15 would fit the Ottos, but bring your Ottos to the appointment to be sure. Etymotic has a list of audiologists here if you need help finding one: https://www.etymotic.com/storelocator FWIW, though, the Ottos fit me just fine...
