Re: My Noel Howard holster FINALLY has an occupant

I couldn't see a way to have the M1917 barrel cut without all kinds of dubious compromises. If I may ask, what were the compromises you would have had by cutting the barrel? I've also looked into getting a Smith and Wesson model 22 and cutting the barrel. It seems a little more ethical than cutting...

Re: What Happened to Crease N Corral?

I discovered Dusty's site in 2017, but at the time I wcould in no way afford one of his whips. I put it off, until he no longer made them... However, seeing his gorgeous whip, gave me a huge boost in 2017, that started (or maybe restarted, as I had tried earlier in life) my whip-making journey. Mad...

Completely respectable and valid. Do you know if he still circulates the forums or is involved with the Indy community in any way?

What Happened to Crease N Corral?

Hi everyone! I haven't been in the Indy cosplay scene for a while and have recently decided to get back in. However, during my whip research I've noticed that Crease N Corral no longer has a website. Does anyone know what happened? They made some awesome whips back in the day. I wish I pulled the tr...

Re: Custom ”Bapty” front sight for an m1917... feedback?

Very nice! Where did you find that one? Gunbroker? I found a 2nd model hand ejector at my local gun show a few days ago but unfortunately, I wasn't able to acquire it. It was a beautiful piece though.

Re: Ordering an Akubra Federation IV

True, it is a very nice hat for the "gateway" hat collector. Anyway, I had to put some foam in mine as well, but since the hat has shrunken with the bashing steam, does anyone know how to get the foam out? I tried to peel some away but it's sticking to the inside. I'm thinking goo gone mig...

So it took the 10-12 days from ordering to doorstep?

Ordering an Akubra Federation IV

When I was waiting on mine to arrive, I noticed that once it hit the U.S. it took quite a bit of time (3-4 days) before I had any updates. This was probably Customs. After that, it arrived very quickly. All in all, it took probably 10-12 days total from Australia to my doorstep. The packaging was n...

Has yours shipped yet? How long does it take to get out of the shop?

Re: Ordering an Akubra Federation IV

Just ordered my Akubra deluxe! I'm super excited. I'm doing a Boy Scout Indy cosplay but I want to do a raiders bash just because it's my favorite. I took the advice of giving them my exact head measurement. And now the waiting begins...

Re: Ordering an Akubra Federation IV

Thanks everyone. I think I'll order one today or tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated :TOH:

One more thing. Dark Brown is the accurate color correct?

Re: Ordering an Akubra Federation IV

Anyone know how long it takes for an Akubra IV Deluxe to get to the states? Will it be less than a month? Or should I just get a David Morgan Adventurer to cut out some of the wait time?
