lazarini Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I have made a parts clearance sale about a month ago and posted i will update you with what i bought from that cash ... thx to the people that have bought my parts and enabled this sale ... ( U know who u are!) Once u have some nice Pams u need some nice straps everyone knows that ... personally i prefer to buy member made straps then the famous names but always there is that one strap u always wanted no ? For me it was Greg Stevens - Crazy Horse the 1st generation one ... don't get me wrong i like the 2gen. also but the hide is much darker on that edition ... Recently the 1st gen were hard to obtain as u need to keep ure eyes pealed at the screen to get one i was LUCKY to have found a NOS condition one never mounted from a seller in US. After begging him via email to sell it to me all do hi FS was Conus only he gave in ... It arrive today so here are some quick shoots needless to say im in love The package : Close up : Mounted on my VAC 111H: Table shoots : I hope u have enjoyed these shoots ... strap and buckle are really nice quality the hide is amazing thick construction but still super soft i can only recommend it ... he only downside is they do demand a bit of a premium when it comes to price. PS ... i will be presenting a strap soon made by a fellow member and is in route to me ( anyone wanna guess who he is) ... he is soon to be jumping on the strap scene so stay tuned, im not a strap expert but from what i saw he is a serious tallent For now have a nice day!

TwoTone Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Laz: Stunning combo... Unfortunately I see in the wrist shot that this Strap is actually to long for you... So, when you get frustrated with it [and the 111], simply send me a PM and I'll take it off your hands [wrist]... Thanks, Double T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 @ TT ...it is a bit on the "long side" for my wrist u have a PM! NOT ... anyway thx for the kind comment cheers! Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Wow, that is a killer combo! Enjoy that sucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I doubt that there was ever one made large enough to fit me... and you guys think TT has big wrists... ask him about mine... Of course, if there IS a 145/105 1st Gen Crazy Horse floating around out there somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi there my friend ... i just saw a 150/90 and even 155/90 CHs floating around Risti the other day ... long enough? if so u might be in luck as those XXL ones tend to have a longer sales cycle there fore more chance to pick one up Regards Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm looking forward seeing this combo in Koln Laz, man, you're doing good................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Too short on the 'top side', when your wrist is over 9 inches, the buckles tend to end up on the side of your wrist, which isn't comfortable (and just doesn't look right)... adding most of the extra length to the 'tail' doesn't help... don't know why strapmakers don't get that... Still, that is a very nice looking strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hmm i see what u saying ... check ure PM i have a tip for u My buckle is also on the side do truth to be told 135/85 is on a big size for me ... the thickness of the strap helps plus buckle on the side kinda feels comfy for me ... But sure all have their own wishes ... Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Jeebs POTR your wrists are as large as my legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yeah, 105 is my minimum... I prefer something around 115-125 depending on how thick the strap is.. The only strap I tolerate with the nasty side buckle effect is the XL 11" NATO's which barely have any tail left to make it to the second keeper on me, and I don't like them much... One of these days I'll have to get GGB to hook me up with a "properly spaced" 14" NATO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethecat Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Love the look. I went a similar direction with my 201a. Mine is from Savage. You cant see it, but the tail & keeper are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
