GEC 42 Missouri Trapper/Trader

[Gunstock Jack]

Check out the size difference between the 3 3/4 inch Mini-Lockback and the 4 1/4 inch Missouri Trader;

1/2 inch is quite a size difference! Whaddya think guys?

[WelderBob]

Thanks for showing Barry, I was wondering what side by side would look like.

A little stouter than the 72, but not 23 size....looks like I'll be trying some more out...

[Earl]

Looks good Barry!! Hows the lock up?

[Gunstock Jack]

I've only looked at a couple Earl, but they were like the 72's in that one was tight and the other had a tiny amount of movement, but hardly any really. I've seen the same with the S&M mountain man lockback which seems to be the grandaddy of this pattern.

Thanks Bill H.!!!

My appologies for the crappy photo.

[Earl]

Thanks Barry

[Gunstock Jack]

All of the 42 Traders I've looked at thus far have been very tightly constructed; any tighter and they'd be difficult to unlock. I think GEC hit a homer with the new, slightly larger lockback!

I think I'll take this'un deer huntin' this fall!

[Earl]

Nice one Barry,good color....and it runs up to bolster

[Gunstock Jack]

How about this beauty????

Monk that is sweet... ...and as usual you beat me to the draw... , but I have one comming so all is good...

I would like to know how they chose the name, if I'm ever in Titusville I'll stop and ask them....

[Clown]

I've been waiting on a lockback Pioneer for a while. This is certainly a step in the right direction! Great knives fellas.

I agree with you Monk, the color and jig are really improving.....

[WelderBob]

Well I added a few more 42's...I really like lockback's... ...and I see this getting out of control...

As soon as they put a Wharncliffe blade in 'em...

[Gunstock Jack]

Well I added a few more 42's...I really like lockback's... ...and I see this getting out of control...

What, Bob? No natural stag???

[big monk]

GR8 C-Lection you got there, Bob !!!!!!!!!!!!_____Congrats

[biglmbass]

Are these new 42 lockers tight, or do they suffer a bit of blade play like some of the 72s?

[WelderBob]

Thanks' guys...it's a work in progess. Jerry that would be a big wharnie blade...who knows it could happen.

Barry I'm looking at one...seems I've spent my allowance for this week...

Bass all of these have a tight lock up no play at all...I am well pleased with them.....
