Gen hornback arrived for my Safari

Recommended Posts

Great news!!! :thumbsup:

 

Is the "bar & cap set from AP Bands" something that is really needed?

Yes, I messed up the ones that came with the rep strap.

 

Never been much of a fan of the AP brand...but that is freakin' stunning Jeff!

 

enjoy it often

Thanks, I will enjoy it.

 

yup - that's a stunner - so tempted to get one for my Montauk Highway and add in my own blue stitching (bought the thread)

 

 

I think you would like that.

I may go with Aaron at HK Tan for my Montauk.

It's gorgeous jeff! Bummer about the pins.

 

Is it the OEM strap for the Safari? I know you said its gen AP but I wasn't sure if it was specifically a Safari strap. I'm very jealous either way! :lol:

 

As you know, I've got an AP Safari incoming - can't wait to get it! Question is, do I buy a hornback or other strap for it....? It's coming on rubber with deployant so that will do me to begin with but I just know I'll want anothier strap for it! :D

Well, I will have replacement pins in a few days from AP Bands.

As far as the seller told me, it is for/from a Safari.

I would go hornback,

You've got Aaron at HK Tan for $269 or

AP Bands for a bit more.

I have seen some AP ROOs on non-hornback and they looked ok, but just didn't pop out like the hornback.

 

Did you order your Safari from Toro?

He will be involved in bringing a limited # of AP Pride of Argentina to us.

Another strap i will need. :facepalm:

Thanks jeff. Yes, the hornback looks superb but it's pricey. I'll think about it, not sure what I want at the moment.

 

I've ordered from Marvellous Replica this time.

Everyone probably already knows, but for the hell of it, here are a few pics of the Monty with the supplied strap.

Apologies for the quality of the pics .... my DLSR is being repaired so the iphone camera is all I have

 

BTW what I really hate is that we have to spend $400 - $600 for an AP strap when real hornback straps for Pams can be bought for less than $50

Yes, the rep strap on the Montauk is shit.

 

Here is a gen:

Something is very wrong....maybe becausea All of the hides used for AP Bands products are legal and sanctioned through the appropriate authorities.

Fabulous strap as I said before, but rather than spending all that money on straps and shooting lions and stuff, get that floor fixed

I had no idea that so many other RWG guys loved the Safari as I do. That is one knocked out Hornback Jeff! My Safari has asked for the same strap but I have not been able to find one as yet. If you see another, please let me know. My problem is that I usually have to buy XL straps to fit this wrist. That is the only great thing about the ROO bracelet, its LONG!

I usually have to get xl straps.

This one is bordering tight on me. :(
