Re: Paramilitary or Manix

I'm a huge outdoors hunting/fishing fan. I usually carry a large folder to gut/clean my deer and game. Gutting a deer is supper tough on a knife, especially cutting through the bone and cartilage in the sternum. Last fall I broke the tip off my Kershaw Blur cutting through the sternum of a deer. I ...

Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much a factory second costs? For example a m4 Manix 2 XL? Doesn’t have to be precise but can someone give me a range of what a Factory 2nd costs?
My Satin M4 Manix XL was $76.00 at the 2021 Seconds Sale... my DLC was $87.00

Re: Seconds sale 2022

If I got to meet Sal or Eric or Kristi, it would be worth it anyway. (Were they there?) But they're busy people and don't need another groupie taking their time, asking newbie questions, and offering uninformed opinions.
