I'm rewatching SG-1 right now and happened to pause the screen on that shot. Season 8, episode 'Zero Hour.' Love that episode! 
Unfortunately no S12's in the series- not that I've caught anyway. USAS-12's and SPAZ-12's out the wazoo. The Russian teams always had some fun-looking toys with them. I remember one episode (must be later in 8 or 9) where I could've sworn I saw a case full of MD-20's but no Saigas... Must have been for the USAS-12 (didn't know they had drums for those?)

I found him! I found him!
He's working in the government facility under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado!
^Proof! And somehow MacGyver is mixed up in all of this...

After a MONTH of waiting on my usual guy, I got fed up. When I'd finally had enough of the waiting game, I went over to ask him what the hold-up was. Only to have him disappear for a week...
I hated doing it, but I gave up and went to a bigger shop. Walked in, browsed for 30 seconds, paid an extra $100 over what my guy quoted me, and walked out with the exact gun I wanted when I wanted it. Kinda sucked the fun out of it, but now it's mine!
Disassembled, deburred, removed factory oil, polished engagement surfaces, replaced hammer & trigger rebound springs (10 & 8lb, respectively) with WC spring kit, relubed, reassembled, ran ~200 rounds through it, and got my mind blown. Tack driver!
Picked up a Bianchi 'Black Widow' holster for now 'till I decide on a better one. Although somehow, even though it dwarfs my 1911's
it has become my new EDC! Did not see that coming.

Fewer calibers to shop for is a good thing- especially if you reload or plan to start reloading. Those dies aren't cheap!

I've got one on a 5.45 and I love it. It took hours of fitting but I think it was worth it. I won't be doing another one because it was truly a PITA. I bought a replacement gas tube, lower HG retainer, and retaining springs from CSS and the HG's fit fine, but the grip was not compatible with the CSS billet TG that I used and the stock was a nightmare to seat. I ended up making a urethane shim in order to maintain enough pressure on the mounting screws (reused the OEM screws) to keep the stock from vibrating back out.
All in all, it's a nice set but maybe more hassle than some people want. Love the Russian Red though. Looks great!

I say we all just wish for the best!
Eh.. Actually, I think I'll just play it by ear...

Aw shucks, you guys! Can't wait to see all the fish you guys all catch! Hell- as long as they're getting used, I'm getting my money's worth!

Meah, I'll play.
Nothin' too crazy.. Unlike -ahem- certain^^^ other members who may or may not possess a weapon-mounted, zombie-killing chainsaw...
I think the important thing is that no one is sharing their actual "zombie plan." We're all smart enough to know how to fit in without becoming dinner.

Revelation 22:21
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people.
Amen.
Prayers inbound to all. Stay strong and know that He is with you always.

Ok, total derp moment before.. How could I have forgotten...
Night sights!?Not to add to your tremendous indecision, but that's always a good call.
-
Ooh.. Scope- that's good thinking!
Besides that or mags & ammo, staying close to the $100 mark, I'm thinking:
Streamlight TLR-1
A good bipod
A good, lined holster (that lining usually adds just enough to the cost to keep me from deciding on one)
Possibly some fancy grips for a handgun?
Flash hider or compensator
High-end cleaning rod/rods
Try out some DRT ammo if they've got it? Ordinarily way too expensive to just "try it out," maybe not so bad with a giftcard..!
Or buy Dancing Bear a birthday present... Do they carry strippers?

...from the makers of the "shake weight..?"
There's just something very, very wrong here.
Laughable or practical? If I ever see one at the range, it's ROHBLMAOable. (Rolling On Hot Brass, Laughing My Ass Off)

Thanks guys! You are welcome!
Go tear 'em up!

Hmm.. Maybe make a new semi-transparent cover plate for the drums with Mike's face and the caption, "Have you seen me?"
A true "faceplate!"
-
Johnny, got them today. Very nice work, really appreciate the give away. Now I gotta go fishing
Wow! I really didn't think they'd actually make it that fast. Way to go, USPS!
You're welcome, enjoy!
-
That's a freaking steal! They look pretty bad-ass.
Thanks man!Well I'm heading out to the post office to drop these packages off. I forgot to mention that I am extremely fucking lazy, so I filled out the return addresses the same way I sign everything at work:
This also ensures that none of you guys can pay me for these.
Enjoy!
ETA: Apparently the post office requires a return address for parcels over 1/4" thick.. I didn't realize that. :-/ So my address is on there, but blurry as hell. (junky-ass sharpie)
Most of you should receive these by Tuesday, according to the chick who processed them. So here we go! Everybody have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day and get out and do some fishin' next week!

Ok, here they are! (.45ACP added for scale)
Looks like the bonus lure is going to Chile, although you technically all lost.
"Closest without going over" and nobody guessed under! I sell my lures for $1.50/ea. I figured that low of a cost would throw you guys a curveball.
I think I figured out one time that IF -huge if- I were to sell an entire run (200-300 lures,) I would make $0.02/hr. But hey, it's just a hobby. And the enthusiastic responses I've gotten from you guys on this giveaway makes it worthwhile.
Unless I hear back from the last two of you (still need addresses), 8 of the 10 packages will ship tomorrow.
The smallest envelopes I could get from the post office were friggin' huge though, so don't be surprised if I throw in some extra goodies to validate the shipping cost.

You guys are getting colder!
I forgot to mention that the bonus lure only applies to those 10 who already have a package coming to them.
Sorry, but shipping's gonna be a bitch as it is... -
I'll buy a set of USA made lures from you! Damn Mepps and Panthers are made in China now. Disgusting.
Would like to try them out here in the rivers and lakes of NW Montana.
Thanks!
I'd love to be able to sell some, but I'm pretty sure this thread would be considered "advertising." I'd hate to violate forum rules...
If you can clear it with a mod, I'm all for it!
ETA: Yeah, Mepps spinners piss me off. In my honest, if not humble,
opinion mine are of higher quality and are not made by some Chinese kid in a sweat shop...-

If I managed to claim the last set... I'll post pics of them out of the bag, with some fish hanging off'em too bootThats some nice craftsmen ship there Jimmy. I used to make my own lures when I was a kid (with mixed results) not as nice as the ones you make. You should post some piccs of them outside the bags!
Please do!! And yup, Chile got the last one.
I'll post more pics tonight while I address everything.
Bonus round:
One extra lure to whomever can guess how much I sell them for! (Price Is Right rules)
Let the madness begin!!!

So whatever kind of animal (the more bizarre, the better) you know you've got some stories. Let's hear 'em!
