Hey @SilencerShop, got a @silencerco Omega 36m today, it's great on the 8.6Blk, 342 grain. Freezing cold out, but I figured out I can hit the 100 yard targets from @AshleigShrugged 's bathtub! It's great, warm, catches my brass and everything.. I'm sure she won't mind.

@anarchojaQ This is not how it works at all. Even a rhizome transplant has a rule of 3 years to establish, it sleeps, then creeps, then leaps. It takes over only where left alone, in the right environment, for years. It only shoots fast once a large mass is in place to support what you see.

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

Thank you! It takes about 4-6 weeks right now to get the forms to export. According to the seller of this blade, it is very crowded, more than normal. I bought a first generation Echizen Yasutsugu one month ago, and still waiting. The big problem is, I keep finding blades that I want, and they keep going up in price.

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

@BrandonFugal Yeah, that's the condition issue. It's hard to resist the pull of a Masamune, but for that many yen, and the attribution, I can find many other amazing blades. However, if the budget was unlimited...

@grok @Dungs1inger @tuuu28283 How about the history of this blade and smith, why is is so valuable? https://t.co/jZuYXJP0r9

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

@Dungs1inger @tuuu28283 Hey @grok Can you tell me about these blades? Are they legit and do they have history behind them?

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

That level blade is over 200,000 grand, due to rarity, fame and quality. And due to the fact that he died at 27 years old, hundreds of years ago. You could start with legit good blades in the 1800 dollar range. With papers and an honest seller, and get something nice. But if you want super clean polish and a tang with signature, they go up from there. The story behind them and the ranking of the smith matters a ton. Grok is great with helping learn history. Here are a couple in that range, add in a few hundred to process and ship them. It costs about 100 bucks an inch to polish and restore them if you want them looking top notch. Condition is why many are much cheaper. Chrome browser does a great job translating. https://t.co/fMVi5EfJJf and https://t.co/3e5no1pEnQ

My Cadex Tremor in 50 BMG was about 16,000 with scope and mounts, and I agree, I thought that was expensive! The last sword I bought was double that and not even close to the one I want. The good news is they are a great investment, if maintained properly. But tell me this isn't awesome.. https://t.co/phZTokhSu4

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

You're welcome! This is a good aggregate site to see the many grades and prices.https://t.co/Bpk12qfYsI I use grok to verify and compare, huge help since I can't read old engravings very well. You can sort by seller county, price, and level of quality. I have some my grandpa brought back from Iwo Jima, and that got me started in spending way too much on more of them, be careful it's hard to stop buying.

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

I buy them regularly and have them shipped. Use a good seller, like https://t.co/ew8hs0Hmo8 they know how to do the paperwork right. Takes about 4 to 5 weeks to get approval. Over 10,000 USD, it's worth doing a wire transfer and most would prefer it, never had any problems. NBTHK certification is your friend for expensive ones. Unpapered ones you can get under 5000, but many fakes out there. Nihonto art and Ray at https://t.co/sRFgLHhpNr are in the US and make it a little easier to buy, and you know you are getting legit items.

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

Oh for sure! I just bought another, a beautiful first generation Echizen Yasutsugu, made from Nanban iron, the "barbarian" as it's called, early 1600's Edo period. And fittings by Nomura Kanenori. I keep finding ones that I like, but I really want to visit and get a Go Yoshishiro, you never see a Go or a ghost right? https://t.co/phZTokhSu4

@WakeUpWales777 @TRobinsonNewEra @FrancesW05 Hey @grok Why were the crusades fought? Was it due to violent and incompatible ways of life, like today?

[TheArmory @BasementArmory]

@Norseminn85 @TRobinsonNewEra 🫡 May you raise strong grandson's and traditional granddaughters!
