Can't Do Photos, But What Is It?

[DPris]

Thanks Cul, you are uncommonly helpful.
No time to be fancy on the photos, I was just trying to get 'em sent.
It looks much nicer in person.

That, I think, is part of why I've never used it.

Darth,
Buddy & I worked with that Thompson model a few years back.
With loose powder, Pyro pellets, sabots, a buncha stuff.

I truly hope yours does better for you than that one did for us.
It literally came apart through the session.
Nothing catastrophic, just lost thimbles, cracked the stock at the tang, etc.
Had to cancel the project.

Don't get too carried away with it.

DPris:

For future reference, if you post a photo of the left side of the blade we can tell which kami made it. The "kami mark" is usually on the left side of the blade near the handle. I see you mention a star, so that is probably Kumar.

In my opinion the chitlangi bowie is the most beautiful of all the standard HI models. Even more so (because of the proportions) than its giant brother, which can be seen in Steve Tall's photo above.

Thanks, David.

Dhan Badahur kamis mark is also a star, but different from kumars.

Just when I thought we had it settled, you go & confuse me further....

I thought Dhan was an eye....oh oh....me really confused.

It's either dhan or hari. The marks may have changed since kumar came back. FWIW, I are confused too and haven't been able to keep up with the kami marks very well.

The guy before me has had it for a bit, says it shoots sabots better than ball (go figure) but I ordered a 100 count of .490 balls for the fun of it, as well as some more sabots. Nothing damage wise on it even though he'd gone through a bottle of hodgdon triple 7 FFFG and as many sabots/balls to put through it to match. As I said, putting some power through it tomorrow after camper waxing to see, while I wait for the seventh and try out some balls. Regardless I think I'm in for a load of fun.

I should have mentioned that the photo is from a years-old for-sale-by-owner thread by member "il bruche". The pair was sold together.

Darth,
I hope it holds together for you.
Dimly recall accuracy was good, just couldn't hold together.
