Chapter 964: Ram's Horns
Gao Yang's request was somewhat strange, because every feature he said was contrary to the requirements of a combat pistol.
A revolver with a natural material handle looks more upscale, and indeed more beautiful and distinctive, but the most comfortable grip has to be rubber.
The rubber handle will not slip, and there will be finger grooves on the rubber grips, especially the finger grooves that Jack can specially make according to the high hand shape, which will definitely fit the hand better.
Also, a bright, shiny stainless steel pistol is certainly not suitable for use at night.
The handle is made of precious natural materials, and then made of shiny zuò, so that a gun is suitable for keeping at home, or used as a jingle gun for shooting fun, but it is strange to bring such a gun to the battlefield.
Jack looked at Gao Yang and said very puzzled: "You're okay, right?" You're not a fool who likes to be in the limelight, so why would you think of bringing a gun that is not suitable for the battlefield to the battlefield? ”
Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is a reason, first of all, the rubber grip with finger grooves is very comfortable, but have you noticed, when I draw the gun, I need to hold it in the right position to fully fit my hand, and when I can use it, it must be an extremely urgent state, if my fingers fail to hold the correct groove, but pinch to the raised position, the directivity will be affected, and it will also affect the timing and feeling of my shooting, while the traditional style grip is more tolerant of my posture when I pull out the gun, There is no such thing as zài. ”
After trying back and forth with the two pistols a few times, Jack nodded, "Okay, you're right, the traditional grip is indeed a little more convenient." But it's really just a little bit. ”
Gao Yang smiled: "Not at all. And there's more. I want a shiny gun because it's easy to be seen as soon as I take it out, and it's more threatening, and I don't need to hide it when I can use a pistol, so it doesn't matter if the gun is very bright. ”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang hugged Yelena and said with a smile: "There is another very important reason, the revolver can be used for a long, long time. If I don't use it, I can pass the gun to my son, and a rubber grip that is custom-made to the shape of my hand may not be suitable for my son, and a single traditional grip doesn't have this problem, right? ”
Jack laughed, "Man, you're thinking too far, if you have a son, can I give him a gun?" ”
Gao Yang smiled: "No, no, how can it be the same." I want the feeling of a family heirloom, and I pass it on to my son when I run out. My son ran out and passed it on to my grandson, the automatic pistol didn't last that long, but the revolver do, so I needed a stainless steel brushed barrel that wouldn't reflect and affect aiming, but pretty, not like the kind that grinds out like a blue barrel, got it. ”
In fact, Gao Yang has another reason, but it is not for Jack, but for Yelena.
Jack snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Understood, I have hickory, walnut, desert ironxoma, serpentine, pearl oyster, ivory and solidified mammoth ivory, water antlers, elk antlers, camel bones, these are the natural materials I have on hand, wood can be used to make a full envelope grip, can also be used to make a grip patch, as long as these materials are properly preserved, any of them can be used for hundreds of years without breaking, now it depends on which one you want." ”
Gao Yang laughed and said, "I don't like animal products, well, I want wood, I want desert ironwood." ”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang pointed at Jack and said with a smile: "Desert ironwood tumor chooses me a beautiful pattern, it must be particularly good-looking." ”
Jack waved his hand and said, "You can pick it yourself later, it is now forbidden to harvest desert ironwood, but my dad has a lot of desert ironwood in stock, and you can find the pattern wood that you think is beautiful." ”
The desert ironwood mentioned by Gao Yang is a plant that only grows in the desert from the southwest of the United States to the northwest of Mexico, and the living environment is extremely harsh and the growth rate is extremely slow, so the wood of the desert ironwood is extremely dense and hard, and it is an excellent material used to make the handle of the gun and the handle of the knife.
Because desert ironwood is so scarce, the United States has very strict protective legislation that only allows the collection of dry timber after natural death.
Desert ironwood is very difficult to make materials, so it is rare to find wood that can be used in desert ironwood, and it is even more rare for desert ironwood to be able to produce shadow wood materials with wonderful patterns.
When the tree is only injured and infected, it will produce a nodule, which is a large lump growing on the tree, and after this kind of lump is cut, it is a shadow wood with a pattern, and there are very few woods that can be made of desert ironwood, and it is even more rare for the nodules to be able to open a complete and usable shadow wood.
Gao Yang chose desert ironwood as the grip material, and then he smiled and said to Jack, "Do you have a lot of inventory?" That's good, I do have to pick a piece of wood with a nice pattern. ”
Jack nodded and said, "Okay, are there any other requirements?" ”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "It's gone." ”
Jack snapped his fingers and said, "Gao, I made you three custom guns, a Satanic Blade, a shotgun, and a pistol, and at that time I was going to give you a spare name for the name of the rifle, and now, since you are going to bring two pistols into battle, what do you think of the name Ram Horn?" ”
Jack stretched out his two hands, raised his hands and made a shooting gesture, and said with a smile: "One left and one right, two pistols, your ram horns!" Use your ram horns to knock over all those who offend you! ”
Gao Yang pondered for a moment, then slapped his hand and said loudly: "This is a good idea!" Ram's horns, I love the name, and I love the meaning of the name. ”
Jack slapped his hand and said, "Go to my lounge and wait for me, I'll go get wood, I'll start work today, and I can make your gun tomorrow!" ”
Jack quickly took a large bag of wood to his lounge, the fir ironwood was almost not large, and took out pieces of wood from the bag, large or small, Gao Yang, Jack and Yelena began to wipe the dust off the wood with their hands, and selected the pieces of wood with beautiful patterns.
The colors of desert ironxylas are also varied, from golden yellow to purple-black, all of them are beautiful, so Gao Yang quickly picked an eye, because he thought that the pieces were all good-looking.
Jack was also quite smug, "This is my father's favorite material, he has been collecting it for many years to get to where he is now, and these are all from the Sonoran Desert, the top desert ironwood source. ”
At this moment, Yelena picked up a piece of wood that had been opened into a square, wiped it with her hand, but bit her lip, and then she gave it to Gao Yang after a low exclamation.
Gao Yang looked at the wooden block, then opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Fake, is this the legendary providence?" ”
Jack said strangely, "What's wrong?" Let me see. ”
As soon as he got his hands on it, Jack was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "A masterpiece of nature, an amazing coincidence, God's arrangement." ”
The color of the wood is golden, with a lot of gold wires, and the color is relatively monotonous, but in the center of the block, there is an irregular dark brown triangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape is more suitable, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and then at the top of the widest part, two arcs are very perfect, and extremely symmetrical, or two lines that are getting narrower and narrower.
On the golden wooden block, the dark brown almost black figure looks like a ram's head, a sheep's head with huge ram horns, and the most terrible thing is that if you look closely, there are really two very small golden dots on the dark brown ram's head, very symmetrical, like a pair of eyes.
After Jack took the wooden block and looked at it for a long time, he finally said in a deep voice: "You can open two patches, whether it is used on your 1911 or M686, you can perfectly present the sheep's head, I don't know what to say, this is a masterpiece of nature, but linked to your name, this coincidence is too amazing, I think this is a miracle." ”
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Ram horns, interesting, very good, very good!" Looks like I'm going to have to change the handle patch for my 1911, but unfortunately I didn't bring it, but I'll have Downey Jr. send it to me right away. ”
Jack shook the wood in his hand, then sighed and said, "I have to be careful with this piece of wood, it's amazing." ”
At this time, Gao Yang shook the wood in his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I originally planned to use this piece, take a look." ”
Gao Yang's wood is light brown, and two dark brown hearts are formed on the wood that are quite regular, and Gao Yang handed the wood to Yelena, and said with a smile: "I still plan to use this piece, but now it seems that we can use it to make a couple of guns, what do you think?" ”
Yelena smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's take one by one." ”
Gao Yang handed the wood to Jack and said with a smile: "Let's see what kind of gun is suitable for use, with some curvature, I think it may be more suitable for the revolver, but the recoil should be smaller, my girlfriend's hands are used to play the violin." ”
Jack nodded and said, "You can pick it yourself later, and I'll take care of it." ”
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Okay, it seems that I can have a magical ending when I choose a spare pistol, so let's move on to the rest, did I let you find the ammunition I asked you to help find." ”
Jack nodded: "If you are talking about the FRAG-12 series ammunition, find it, you can try it later, well, I have something to talk to you about." ”
Gao Yang smiled: "I'll just say it." ”
Jack sighed, looked at Yelena, hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Can we talk alone?" ”
Gao Yang gave him an inquiring look, and after a moment's hesitation, Jack said softly, "There's something about Bruce." ”
Gao Yang nodded, and after holding Yelena's hand, he said softly: "It's okay, she knows everything, let's say it." ”
Jack pondered for a moment, then said softly, "That's right, I may have accidentally slipped through the cracks and told one of his comrades about Bruce's death, and then, now there's a bit of a problem, so I need to ask what you mean." (To be continued......)
