Any of the Jack Reacher books written by Lee Child - start with "The Killing Floor".

ceramics Also, you might take a look at ceramic kitchen cutlery. I've got one 6" knife that I picked up at Harbor Freight for about $12 and it's going great. There are a few things about ceramics you need to think about -- they're brittle so don't try to pry anything with these guys, and you...

We do it to ourselves No need in waiting for the government to take away our gun rights - we're basically doing it to ourselves by hoarding all the ammo we can find. I know you might have a couple thousand rounds of something hidden away so that the Administration can't take it from you, but I...

What do recommend for getting a good patina on a high-carbon blade? I have an Old Hickory utility knife that I soaked in coffee this morning. Came out really nice. Any other recommendations?

Well, I tell you what - I'm impressed with the 110 that I got and I'm glad I contacted consumer affairs over the rebate. Yeah, $10 isn't a whole lot, but it's the principle of the thing. And they made it right for me, so I'm looking for another Buck right now. I went to Gander Mountain...

OK, here's an update. I contacted Buck consumer affairs from their homepage and got a note back this afternoon. They've been having problems with the company they hired to process the rebates and they'll be sending me my rebate. Well, I made a big deal of it and now I've got to make it...

Rock, Thanks - good info. I needed to vent there for a bit and to get the word out to the rest of the members. Mick

I purchased a Buck 110 at the end of December and it included a $10 mail-in rebate - rebate had to be submitted prior to the end of January 2009 so I was in good shape. Sent in the original receipt and the product code - that was right after Christmas. Got a postcard today that informs me that...

status check Hey - long time since any activity on this thread. Anyone know if Don is offering anything new out of his storage containers? Mick

I got a Toz about a year and a half ago and really like it - I paid $175 at a gun show and then I found it on Centerfire for $99. Haven't seen any recently so the supply might have dried up. The only thing I really don't like about it is that the magazines are plastic. I've tried looking for...

panic? I think there's a bit of an attitude out there that dems will ban all rifles and handguns - or at least make the attempt. Think about that - what exactly has happened in the last few years that would enable Congress and the Administration to actually allow that? We've had some pretty...

On some of my projects I've had some pretty bad bores. I've run a couple dozen patches through the bores and they were still coming out fouled. So I read about a technique and used it with some success. Soak a patch with Hoppes and run it through to get the bore really damp. Plug both ends...

I've seen the Winny at the local Gander Mountain, and I have a TOZ. The finish on the Winny is definitely better, but the feel of the action is the same. I would say that if money is the issue, try to find one on-line or on an auction site, but if you can afford the Winny go for it. I've...

My son and I just came back from the Dayton show, and sorry to say, it wasn't the greatest in the world, but it was better than the one they had there last month (and the month before that). Case in point, one guy had a TOZ .22lr for over $200 (something like $230) -- you can get the same...

I've had one since March of this year and I take it to the range every time I go out. It's accurate with iron sights -- got a little flip wheel for the rear sight thats graduated in meters and it's accurate. I had it out the other day to sight-in a scope and it was thoroughly enjoyable...

Was diagnosed with mild tinnitus last year -- probably from years on the flight-line, although I wore ear protection everytime I was on the line. Found that switching to decaf seems to help a bit (and steadies you out on the range, too). One good thing about tinnitus, there's always something...

I got one at a gun show back in March and paid $175 -- overpriced, I know, but what the heck. I haven't had any problems with it -- bolt action was a bit stiff but that worked out after a few range trips. Accurate and reliable, I haven't had any problems with feeding or with any type of...

TOZ I've had a TOZ since March of this year and it goes to the range with me every time I go out. It's not the best looking .22 bolt action out there, but for the price it's accurate and the trigger is smooth. Centerfire has a good deal on them and I'd recommend you give the TOZ a chance...
