Apart from the smoke, it was nice. Definitely have unfinished business in the North Cascades. Loved the landscape there. Jagged glacially carved mountain landscapes are very much my fetish.

My BBQ is always ready to host if you swing by again.

Owning a Luger is only cool until your have to clean it.

In San Mateo there's an amazing gun shop called Krausewerk.

If they are still up open you need to go. I promise you it will be worth it.

It's still there. Brian Nussbaum's place is gone though, second bankruptcy wiped him this year.

Good. Is Mr Kraus still alive? He wasn't looking so good last I was there. I have the honor of owning one of his amazing pieces of semi custom work. He fitted a Springfield 1911 replacement slide from 1919 to a modern Springfield match lower after I requested a good shooter that looked like something a WW2 armorer would toss together from spare parts. I had also bought my M1 and a few other guns though him.

Fix that. It's a museum. If he likes you he'll let you handle just about anything. I got to molest a Henry's repeater that was from the batch used during the Civil war in amazing condition. He also trades in japanese swords but he doesnt keep any on premise except for a few cheap mass production WW2 swords.

We went to Krauswerk. Enfield, K98s, Arisaka, couple Mosins, tons of Lugers, and a Mauser C96 with the stock. No price tag on that last one though.

Honestly, I'm totally cool with some form of gun control laws. Under one condition:

The people who write them need to actually know what they are talking about. The current laws make little sense to the point that the ATF has a difficult time labeling some "firearms". Stop caring about what makes the weapon look scary and care more about function and capability.

You might actually get some people on board then.

Ok so it's proven that cheap, easily available handguns are one widely used guns in crimes. The average cost of a pistol is $300-$600 range. How about a tax on manufacturers on each firearm created up an established MSRP $500. So if a pistol costs $25 to make out of pot-metal and compressed kitty litter then the tax would be $475 to be payed by the manufacture before it even leaves the factory. So a well-manufactured pistol made out of quality materials costs $475 then the tax would be $25. The amount payed could be used as a tax right off for the purchaser. I think this could reduce the amount of lovely pistols being made that typically exchange hands off the back of a truck or straw sales. People with too many uses of these tax credits could be tracked.

I had a pair of Howard's but they actually seemed to be reversed and would increase all noise. Almost blew hearing out and dropped my 357 when I used them the first time. Tested at home by clapped 2x4s and yeah they were very defective.

Test your ear pro before you go shoot.

Oh I actually got spotted at White Pocket. Had Waldo out and placed and was taking pictures, then these two Asian chicks came through. One stopped and said "Is that a weapon???"

I put on my human face and laughed and said yeah, I just take pictures of it, it's legal and I'm harmless. They laughed and wanted pictures of it.

They actually have one picture where one of them was handing Waldo up to me, both smiling and me throwing the peace sign like a proper fraudulent Asian tourist.

Waldo doesn't exactly blend in well in the southwest. Not nearly as many bushes and trees to hide in.

At Horseshoe bend there's probably 3-6 people with inadvertent Waldo shots.

DID YOU GET SOME GODDAMN DIGITS AND A DATE OUT OF THAT????

Defend my house from Nazis and crabs at short range, $1k and I'm not a total idiot. I've swapped out car parts after following YouTube videos and reference guides. Also if I properly bribe Doccers I could get him to double check my work.

I really really like dark red or green. I prefer something beefier and potentially resistant to being used as a club once or twice so bayonet lug is a plus.
