Tryhard logos

[Wapiti]

Was sighting in a scope a mate asked if I'd see if I could wreck like I'd done with earlier Meoptas and their internal lubricants melting back in early 2010's models, and I thought I'd sort this out on the old night dog rifle.
I'd always thought it really lame that rifle makers (some) put stupid logos and stickers on guns. Worse are the ones that you can't get off.
A gentleman never wears big logos on his clothes either, the focus is on him and how it fits, not giant brand logos.
See below.

Almost as lame are the wannabe's who do this:

Or pretend they are cowboys and wear lame stuff like this:

So off the floorplate came, and to my horror the quality of the casting was awful, rough hacking grind marks, yeech. I guess you get what you pay for.

So off comes the floorplate, and down to the sandblaster to get a hit with garnet.
The cheap silver paint came off with a whip, but the logo, man it was hard and needed a few extra hits to remove. A lifetime of use wouldn't have budged this ugly logo. Then, a nice coat of ceramic "metallic medium silver" and a bake and who'd ever know.

those RM cow horns are on every second four-by in the city mate .

only sticker i got on my toyota is the Eureka stockade rebel flag , and the one that tells me when my wheel alignment is due

[Wapiti]

Yeah I'd figured you knew what that Eureka flag stood for mate but kept it to meself!

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to the union movement using the eureka flag. It symbolises rebellion against tyranny to me. Not the communist attitude of some unions

It amazes me the number of 'The Punisher' skull logos you still see around.

After plinking for a bit at the range with your .22lr, you're popping off to the western suburbs for some vigilante justice on Sydney's underworld, are you?

Right then

Saw my first Lone Wolf and 1% patch combo in a while recently, too.

That's another good one. Like you need to specifically advertise you're not part of something

Me thinks I will stick with my Yosemite Sam decal on my vehicle

So long as you don’t yell and drive like Yosemite Sam…. lol

It’s funny how things like stickers on a car can become a “fad” like the punisher skull.

I’m thinking I might put a “red ensign “ Australian flag on the back of my for to go with my eureka flag sticker. “Up Australia!”

I used to run about with an Owen Guns made sticker- had an Aussie flag with the words "if you don't love it, LEAVE"
But it fell off and that was a few vehicles ago.
Only got compliments from it, never any grief from the weakies.

now that's a sticker i can agree with

loyalty , and pride for this nation has been eroded by leftism , and a underlying shift to be a "global citizen" rather than being a australian citizen. comments on a sticker with those words would vary depending on where you are in this country these days . inner city melbourne would likely draw comments of racist or fascist, where i live would probably get you a "good on ya mate "

i've had a idea for my own sticker with a bit of sarcasm , "support communism , buy a chinese made car and vote labour"

bit like when people name s**t and put signage on it to let others know ,i just see it as the d**khead factor, was watching crap toob this morning and saw a begara with a custom sticker down the side that said Boogeyman ,like really ........HELLO d**khead

I find it funny all the custom number plates these days. In the nearest city it seems half the cars have one.

i dunno , maybe i'm generalising here , put people with personalised plates seem to be insecure , shallow , attention seekers most of the time . at least that's the case with the ones i've met . only plates I've had "customised" were the original black and white plates on my last hot rod HQ premier . no particular meaning , OBD704 . number code fits with a febuary 1973 build HQ . one of my mates joked it stood for "old brown dunger, number 704" . it got repainted a light mercedes metallic gold , kept the white roof

haven't seen too much of a sticker trend lately , cost of living impact i suppose
