Looking for a cheap but classy ballpoint pen of decent quality and I'm willing to bet some of you have a few links handy, care to help a fellow goon?

Skilcraft US Government pens, should be about $10 on Amazon for a box of 12. Nicely built, more stylish than a Bic disposable clicker, and they're manufactured by a program that gives jobs to blind people.

Alternatively if you want something shiny the original Space Pen is like $40, though with those the replacement cartridges are around $5.

With a quick check it looks like Alibaba appears to have cracked down on the companies directly advertising that they can supply you with cargo containers of unfinished AR15 receiver forgings.

Dunno where they sell through Aliexpress but I got this smart charger from a Chinese flashlight company back when I finally got around to switching everything over to rechargeable batteries earlier this year, I picked it primarily because I had one of their USB keychain lights (they're super useful and make great gifts) and a rechargeable headlamp and was impressed by both of them, and I haven't had any issues with it so far when charging Eneloops/the AmazonBasics rebranded eneloops.

They sell batteries too but I can't comment since I'm not really a flashlight guy and thus don't own anything using Li-ion or IMR batteries. :shrug:

A while back I ordered several battery storage cases (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33043156902.html) since I started buying packs of the generic Amazon rechargeable ones and decided it'd be smart to sort the charged ones by date and (if needed) keep the depleted ones separate. It took a month or so for them to show up and they're exactly what I wanted. The 4xAA/AAA combo design is probably the best for general use, the 8x ones that only hold AA or AAAs would be best if you're storing regular disposable batteries or are like, doing photography or something and will need multiple sets of batteries in a day or a extended camping trip or something.

I know a guy who ordered one of them dot sights for a gun from China (can't remember if it was Aliexpress or Wish or Banggood or what) just to see how bad it was and he said it was exactly as good as an American* brand name sight and seemed to be an exact copy, for like a fifth of the price.

*) So I don't know if he meant it was good or bad

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000623428696.html
I ran across this a while back and TFR thinks it's a copy of the Polymer 80 Glock* but for airsoft and is missing a couple holes and bits need for making a actual working Glock out of it. But close enough you could probably do it if you're okay with a really sketchy gun that will work once and then probably launch the slide into your face. (okay you could do the same with a piece of metal pipe and a rock)

*For those unfamiliar with US gun laws, you can legally build your own guns by buying a unfinished receiver (either a untouched block of metal or up to 80% finished) and then doing the rest yourself. For example commonly with the AR15 you buy a receiver forging and drill out all the holes and mill out the internal cavities on it. It's mostly either a novelty thing for people who are hobby machinists (as the equipment will cost thousands of dollars), or for paranoid libertarian types.

Post the ramen blanket (and cats). Is it itchy or linty?

The pillow is a general sort of plush fabric and has a internal pouch for the blanket with a kinda-crummy zipper. The blanket is one of those general "fleece" types. Haven't noticed any shedding and they both feel normal.

This was the specific listing I bought:

Erm... I've seen those pictures of disassembled pistols that are "print on tin plate" in the fine print, and these go for . But now I'm seeing "replica" pistols that appear to be actual pistols. These go for $120 and up. .45 semiautomatic, .38 bulldog revolver and a ppk.

Are they really selling weapons now? There's no mention of print, non functioning, toy or anything that would indicate it's not a real pistol. I can't imagine they're of anything but lovely quality, but still.

Anyone take the plunge on one of these?

It's probably just airsoft stuff. Can't tell if you don't post any of the links or images.

Alibaba proper was listing 80% AR15 receiver forgings/paperweights a few years back but they seem to have cracked down on that, or at least just told companies to stop directly advertising them.

They're not real guns. The ATF takes that sort of thing seriously.

BUT for awhile maybe six months ago (hell, maybe still now) Wish was selling $20 "fuel filters", metal tubes with 9mm holes and a series of baffles, threaded for pistol barrels and obviously intended to be used as silencers. ATF visited a few people that bought them and they got in big trouble (buying silencers legally requires a $200 tax stamp plus about a year long wait time for a background check, just buying one off Wish and putting it on your gun is a big-time felony).

Wish also sold little plastic "airsoft" dongles that made airsoft Glocks full automatic. They also made actual Glock firearms fully automatic. They didn't even last as long as the silencers and I don't think many people bought them because it was so obviously sketchy.

Not to mention that guns are highly controlled inside China, selling crap to Americans who want to break the law is one thing but getting your door kicked in by the People's Armed Police is another thing.

The fuel filters/solvent traps are still around, some listings even have reviews.

The Glock auto sears have been showing up a lot in Venezuela because they're easy to machine locally and are small. Interestingly the guy who invented them is a Venezuelan.

Ganzo makes solid stuff for the price. I've got one of their flipper knives with a nice bright orange handle I used a lot as a box cutter when I was working, and had a similar-but-different multitool (G202) that ended up getting stolen out of my truck.

RadioShack used to sell stuff like that but more for learning electronic circuits than PCB stuff.
