From KA-BAR’s FAQ:Is the handle supposed to be offset from th blade like that?
Hey KA-BAR, I was always wondering why the knife blade isn't parallel with the handle. The blade is situated a couple mm below in line with the handle, why is this?
The USMC knife was originally designed with the tang slightly offset. There were several reasons for this:
1) The offset tang put the handle more in line with the tip of the blade....for thrusting/stabbing.
2) The raised offset tang allowed more room for the fingers on the underside of the handle.
If one looks carefully at WWII vintage knives, you will see the offset but it was not as pronounced. The handle cross-section was rounder back then. KA-BAR has made the handle more oval which makes the offset more visible these days.
Just grabbed 3 .... with tax, shipping and round up $37. Not bad for metal feedlip mags
I don't like Botach.seems like a great deal except the KCI mags have a poor reputation. OEM Glock mags can be had for $20. There’s simply no point in going cheap on the single most important factor to pistol reliability. If malfunctions are encountered, the cost in ammo testing will immediately negate the few dollar saved on a skinflint magazine. Those with a lot of rounds through glocks learn to stick w OEM.

Some Walmarts have clearance pricing on the Barnett XP 350 Crossbow, marked down to $180 or even $160. Inventory seems spotty, so it's worth checking Brickseek.

It's a Walmart exclusive, and reviews are really good. (Comparable Barnetts sell for at least $100 more elsewhere.) It comes with a red/green dot, adjustable stock, and rails up front for mounting foregrips, lights, and lasers. Plus why not start getting ready for the zombie apocalypse?! One followed me home tonight for a little backyard fun that won't frighten the neighbors!
Yup, I just saw $204 as the "normal" price.Barnett 350 Black Crossbow Package, 165lb Draw Weight

I just can’t get over their handguard mounting system that looks like it was designed by a 12yr old. It just sticks out like a sore thumb and looks hideous in my opinion. Otherwise I’d own a few.16" Larue Complete Match Grade Upper (.5 MOA) complete with BCG , CH and case for $749!! - and in stock. They also have an 18" Grendel for $799

I’m not saying that it doesn’t work as intended, I’m just saying that it looks insanely stupid.it is done like that to align top rail perfectly. i do own a few and it is perfect.
Are they worth the $750?it is done like that to align top rail perfectly. i do own a few and it is perfect.

For 200 clams, it really doesn't look all that bad. I've been needing a crossbow since my surgery, sold all my compounds due to not even gonna try to pull them back. Bicep reattach with a button and 4 wrist bones removed.Online is $204, but the tags in stores say $238. There's something wonky about those specs, because the box says 180lb draw, and people who've tested with chrono are getting about 365 fps rather than 350. It's pretty much identical to the XP 370 that's on Amazon for $280. Definitely look on Brickseek to see if there are cheaper ones in your area. In Western MA, not many stores carry these. Just checked for a buddy in FLA, and prices were as low as $110!
I put it together last night, and it has a nice look and feel to it.
