It would be fun to start a FB group where all that were interested could post a pic of what they got but no trading could be done until all grab bags have been delivered. Then, let the games begin.Good luck with the sale. I’m sure they’ll go quick. Hell, I’d take the mistress if my money wasn’t tied up in bags that haven’t arrived yet.
I must say, I kinda wish all us grab baggers would come together and hold off on selling until all bags are received. There could be some good swaps to be had. It’ll never happen, though.

Not sure the species. Looks like a rosewood or maybe walnut burl. The red liners really set it off! Very comfortable in the hand.
A couple special FMV14s got out in grab bags. Did you get one of the special ones?Just cranked open my 1K bag. Couldn’t be more pleased with the Mentor. Looks to be some of that dyed burl that has been running around with a bone back and yellow liners. Too pretty to use (maybe) but definitely a keeper. I was a lucky piglet and got in on the cerakote run on the FMV, so I will probably be selling it shortly. Still super stoked with the mentor, that was one I sorely missed and couldn’t have picked out a prettier specimen.

My package has been sitting on the ups truck the last two days. Didn’t realize they were sent sig required and there is almost nobody ever at my house. I hate sig required packages and the wait is no fun when I know they are here but can’t be delivered. Ugh
Might be interested in that come Monday. Unless.......Just cranked open my 1K bag. Couldn’t be more pleased with the Mentor.

You put the other one in my bag, right??A couple special FMV14s got out in grab bags. Did you get one of the special ones?

If they accidentally put my spartan worn in your bag, please contact me to correct the error. Thanks!Yes, make the waiting for delivery more difficult than it already is Garth. Thank you for that.
Kidding of course.........
No manipulation on the photo (the snow often throws the exposure a little south), but they are a tad lighter in person.Very nice! Are the wood slabs on that one really that dark or is it just the lighting? My goodness what a beauty.
You can set up an account with UPS and waive the signature or pick an alternate drop off point...I chose between a CVS and UPS drop off store.
Somehow my Busse shipments never even show up on my account, never mind managing them. Everything else pops up automatically, but nothing from Busse. No idea why, and somehow neither does UPS tech support. It always says I'm not the recipient.I have a ups acct and it never works for sig required packages. I have tried many times before. I marked to leave at cvs but nothing was there. Will check back tomorrow
Yeah there were a couple Spartans that made it out. Did you look at the blade? Couple had some blade mods done as well as the cerakote.Yes sir, one of the spartan’s as was mentioned above. Not at all disappointed, the mentor is more than I could ask for. I just don’t need 2 Spartans (although, one for each hand now...).
