Buck Alpha Crosslock CT 183CT Knife Choke Tube Tool

[Flatlander1963]

I told you guys that serrated sheepsfoot wasn't going to be my last Crosslock and here is the next one.

This thing is way to cool if you've got any shotguns with chokes. Tried it on a 20 and 12 ga and it works really good. Good Job Buck...this is thinking outside the box and its a winner.

In addition to tube wrench:
screwdriver
poptop opener
and 1/4" hex nut wrench

This thing not niffty enough for you guys.
It'll go in the old range bag I suppose and I think its very niffty.

Flat,
It's nifty, good range bag tool as you say. The extra tools really make it stand out over other choke tube knives. I just don't change chokes. .410 for squirrel and rabbit, duck gun (doubles as turkey gun), bird gun (which doubles as skeet gun) and tricked out defense gun for anybody who tries to take them. All but the last older than half the people who read this forum.

300,

I hear ya on having fine old pieces that you still hunt with. Dad passed out his collection between me and my brother some years back (asked for some of it back too). So yea, I still take my grandfather's Mod. 12 16ga out for a spin every couple of years. It was his quail gun back in the day when bird dogs and bobwhites were common across the Deep South.

I do have some newer stuff and all have invector or invector plus tubes which I love. It takes away some concerns about wear and tear on barrels with fixed chokes as related to shot used. Anyway, that crosslock will be along with me on any adventures were tube changes may be in the cards (really a dove shoot is the only time I do much changing in the field). Frankly, I have a nylon tube case with the spares that'll go on the belt like a sheath and it stores the wrench just fine so I didn't need this knife.....and that ain't the first time I've needed to say that!!

Flat,

Its getting where you don't have to have a early century gun to have a classic. Some autos from the 50's are half a century old.....as far as duck guns go non-toxic shot has come a long ways...as few as I shoot I am not worried I will hurt my 1958 Remington.

Just think the first model Buck 300 pocketknife was made in 1966 and will turn 50 in
2012.

I feel it is my duty to go out of my way and help Buck design a classy but tasteful 50 year commerative, if they so desire ( - :
300

PS I just had a vision of honey colored jigged bone, classic lines from 1966, with lazer etched bolsters. Special tang stamp( anvil with 50 in the middle), blade 440. Fancy but you could carry it if you want....
PPS Didn't intend to hijack thread just talking about classic designs...

Right on,,, but as the folow up to that you should box up all the ones that are un-needed and send them to someone like me that has the need. I'll even pay the postage

LOL, you never know when the wife is going to put her foot down and demand a reduction.

300,

Man yea lets talk about a 50 year annv. 300 series knife.
Amber bone, 440C, flat grinds on blades, Hammer Shield, Stamp as you describe it in a 6 knife set:
301 Stockman
303 Cadet
307 Wrangler
311 Trapper
313 Muskrat
317 Trailblazer
I'd sell in two sets "Stockman Set" & "Trap Line Set"
How do you like that idea. I might like 154cm better than 440c but its an Annv. knife so you bet I'd have to have all that. g
