Wallyscore. First time in three years they had some when I happened to be in there.

Is this stuff any good? I shoot a lot of Federal 510 and it's great.

Lol. Every time there's a shot like that in a movie there's never a sheath for the knife or holsters for the guns. :D

Automatch is pretty good stuff. Never had an issue when I shot it. And I've read good things about it at rimfire central.

Never shot it, but I'm sure it's trash.

I'll send you my address for safe disposal and to keep your frustration levels low.

Send me a box so my son and I can go plinking! Still no ammo for me... Due to the hoarders, and mainly the resellers who buy it to resell at the local gun stores in ziplock bags.

If you run up Hwy 6 anytime soon, let me know. I'm in College Station, and I've got a hundred rounds of the cheaper Federal I'll give you to take your son plinking.
 
Hey if I do, I'll take you up on it. I'm serious! It's slim pickins in my area. Every time I go look it's dry except for oddball calibers.
Oh, Adam, I wasn't saying you were a hoarder, so please don't get that impression.
A hoarder to me is the guy sitting on tens of thousands of rounds and still buying them up out of greed. It's just crappy. It sure sucks when my son wants to go shoot, there's a great range to go to, but no ammo. :(
 
I'm serious too.

This .22 thing has been crazy, but I've gotten lucky a time or two and found some. I hope it straightens out soon - but I've been hoping that for a while.

I seen some folks like that at the last gun show I went to. Rat bastards. I'd sooner give up my .22's before paying $60 for a $25 brick of ammo.

I buy up all the .22lr ammo I can, which usually isn't much. Whether I shoot it now or later ain't really gonna make a difference to anyone else. I have a bunch around in case someone wants to go shooting for the first time.

Yeah, fellas I think .22 ammo is the most scarce by far where I live. Want .458 Lott or .480 ruger or some other stuff nobody shoots? It's all over the place.

Yeah and the worst part was HE NEVER USED IT! There were a few scenes where he dispatched a couple of dudes with knives but they weren't done with the Kabar. Disappointment. Cool movie though..

I was visiting relatives in NW Houston at Hwy 6 and 290 a few weeks ago.

The WM there had a lot in stock and I'm standing there thinking how the hell am I going to cram all these in my travel backpack and still make my flight. ;)

Funny thing is I have that same exact photo on my phone that I took last week. Yes, that is a KA-BAR 1245. I am compiling a KA-BAR in movies/tv shows collection and was just getting ready to add this one. I need to try and grab a better picture. Great minds think alike, and apparently, so do we.

Haha that's awesome OKB! Thanks for replying. Literally as soon as he opened the case I spotted it and yelled to my wife "Pause it! Pause it!". I'm just super devo'd he didn't use it.. Can't wait to see that list. There's going to be some viewing after that gets dropped! Hey have you added 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' to the list yet? MK2 F/U in the scene where Dr. Gonzo is in the tub off his lid on acid..

Fear and Loathing is a good one and is definitely on the list. I just tracked down one of my personal favorites yesterday - Halle Berry in Die Another Day. It is going to be an interesting list for sure. As you know, the hardest part is getting a good quality shot of the knives on the screen.

Here you go bud. This might save you a few moments of buggerizing about..





The bottom pic is a good one. If you rotate the screen and zoom in a ways you can make out USMC on the ricasso. Hope that helps your endeavor Mr. KABAR..

Awesome, thanks. Will put to good use.

Yep. Spotted it and got excited lol. In the shot where he turn and you can see it really good, there is a knife on the other raptor trainer guy's side (not Chris Pratt, but that custom he had on his belt looked awesome), kinda looks like a Kraton handled KA-BAR.

Did you notice if that leather handled one was in an old NORD sheath? It kinda looked that way but I didn't get a good look.

Yeah. The TSA probably wouldn't have smiled to friendly like on that one.
