So, the FBM Protos from the Knoboganzaaaa arrived late this week, and I have to say WOW! I was pretty sure I would really like these, but these are better in person than I expected.
One thing that was never mentioned by Boss Hog or anyone who went to Knob Creek is that these babies are FAT. They are essentially FBM LE protos. Two of them measure at .300 and the fattest is .308. The hand shaped handles are really sweet too.
I've included some pics below of the Protos, the Protos with some other BMs, and some pics of the best stuff in my collection.
Here's the three protos by themselves:
Here they are with my FBM LE:
Here's a spine shot with the FBM LE:
A pic that shows a little of the genesis of the Battle Mistress:
All the Battle Mistresses:
All of my Straight Handles:
All all of my Steel Hearts:
I'll also save all of us some time (and space in my PM box) - I don't think I'll ever sell any of the straight handles, and will be keeping the protos for some time I imagine as well. Could eventually be trade bait for more straight handles, but that's about it.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed the pics.
