I've been an avid supporter about the need for protective equipment when putting on (and sometimes taking off) the undies.

I agree, I'm big about a lot of Bic's everywhere.
I did a thread about giving Bic's to everyone I knew as a "stocking stuffer", and was thoroughly chastised, about just about every way possible, "they get wet, flint and steel is better, need a fire piston", blah, blah adnusium.

Tough crapplola.........that's the way it is.
Cheap, (I buy bulk, 'bout 8 cents apiece), and when you run out of fluid, guess what, you still have a "flint and steel spark-er"

That being said, I do also carry a flint and steel, matches, Zippo, fire starters, and know how to make a fire drill, light a fire with a 9 volt battery and spring from pen. (Sorry, no fire piston)
Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.......
Bic's are easy

Yeah and you made me a convert. I went back to that thread a couple of months ago and read and re-read it. I have an 88 Security with a big ole hollow butt that's beggin' for survival equipment. I'm reformed.

Good to hear

I'm glad I made an impression!

Seriously, I figure any way you can improve your odds with a little extra gear in an otherwise unused space, go for it.

You are dispicable, klkak! If you intend to bring an M6 Scout into the classroom, mister, then you had better bring enough of them for everyone!

That is just plain not fair. All I did was share some simple mods I made to an otherwise nondescript little gun.

And they look like EXCELLENT MODS, Kevin! :clap::clap:

Of course, I'll post my official Q.C. report as soon as the Scout arrives and I spend a month or two with it out on the range. :innocent:

Jeez! you give some guys a little authority or a position and it goes to their heads.

Thanks for the compliments Ken. I'll send the gun to you as soon as they get the Pony Express riding again.

You're right! It takes a lot of effort for me to keep Sarge and Rick and Crash in line. :innocent:

See, I've been out of the loop to long. I thought Sarge was the one that kept Rick and Crash in line.
