I have a question about the "5"

TAGannon said:

I use my 5 hole (hmmm, that just does not sound right) as a candle holder when I'm feeling "in the mood". You can stab it in the headboard and it sure makes for a romantic scene.

THIS is the pic I was referring to.... So, any ideas?

And to satisfy the ones saying "why?", I would like one that could be easily removed, so I could utilize the divot for what it was intended.

Just a thought or two (I was studying my 5 last night and thinking about this thread).

1. removal is going to be difficult in that either it will be impossible to get it out, or it will fall out in the times you wish it would stay, and stay when you try and remove it.

2. It will not be visible when the knife is sheathed (assuming you carry right handed)

I appreciate your idea, but offer the suggestion of carefully milling out a depression on the other side to receive any coin of your choice, then epoxy that sucker in place and never lose your mojo!

In this manner the mojo will always be on display for all to appreciate (while sheathed), and you will retain the use of your divot...AND if you use the divot as a candle holder (a la TAGannon) you and your SO can appreciate the mojo from below so long as you stab it into the head board high enough!

I tried a 45 ACP in the hole and voila, perfect fit. I want to use an unused casing, but, not a big fan of disassembling live rounds.

But until then Unit, the headboard it is.
 
Tom,

You might wan't to find a way to get a dummy primer. I'd NEVER want a live primer chilling out where I or my hand chill out, especially on a hard use knife. Cool idea beyond that.

God bless,
Adam
 
TAG you aren't going to hurt anything. Grab the bullet with a pair of pliers and twist the bullet out. Dump the powder, insert the case into your .45, point the muzzle in a safe direction and "pop" goes the primer. I'd do it in the garage, not over carpet or anything. :D

They make a handy bullet puller for us reloaders that looks like a hammer. You put the live round in there, whach it on the table like a hammer and intertia pulls the bullet out and dumps the powder, leaving you a perfectly primed case.

Listen to this. It is not dangerous to pull the bullet out of the case.
 
Perhaps you could pull the lead and then find a safe way to (safely) detonate the primer with heat (so as to retain the unfired look, but have an inert product).
 
That's what I'd like to do. Have an unfired casing. I could just go into the woods and squeeze off a couple rounds and gather my brass otherwise.

I appreciate the lessons on safe removal. When I go to my local gun shop to pick up my new one in a few days, (we have a coupon system in NY. I'll explain another time) I'll ask the gunsmith if he has a way to get me a casing without live primer. I'd hate to be batoning something and have my ring finger suddenly missing in action. I guess if I tied orange paracord to it that would help in the search, but why take that chance.
 
I don't have a 5, and if one was to fill the bow drill with something (the skull does look pretty bad@$$) what about the button compass? Just a thought.

That's hilarious, in a "as long as it never happened kind of way." The sad thing is I think someone might just think that's a good idea.

God bless,
