Well - I have given up on my hopes for another skinny ASH, and a Tank Buster .22 (I ALWAYS MISS THESE ON THE X), however, I did get an original TG in the mail today via forum purchase. Something about it is mesmerizing and the feel in hand is like nothing else I have.
It has magnum smooth black micarta, and the combo of the magum and the smooth make the grip feel a lot slimmer that other magnums, and it also looks like there is less material between the flat of the slab and the actual swells.
It is a well loved stripper/user and I almost like it better that way, although I have never seen or held an unused version. Something about the patina and nice wide shiny convex grind give it so much character. It feels like an old baseball mitt from high school I have not put on in years and when you do, it just feels so cool and friendly like a long lost podnuh' you see somewhere random and pass some time together.
Sounds cheesy, maybe, although there is something extra special about this one for me. Have not been this happy about a blade off the exchange in a long time. This may be my new favorite Busse.
Very happy dude here!
