    Good luck with that. My in-laws had their Samsung range replaced twice under warranty. Replaced, not repaired.

    Cool little revolver, what is it? I see several finishes, blued, bead blasted stainless and it looks like case hardened trigger. Looks shorter than regular snub barrel too..

    Samsung is very hit and miss on their products. Some shit they make is great while a similar model is garbage. Knock on wood, this one had very good reviews from a lot of buyers. What was the problem with their range?

    I have one of the Samsung refrigerators that receive a lot of internet hate. Yes, the ice maker jams up. Easily solved by putting some foam under the seal to keep the warmer air out of the ice maker--the seal collapses over time.

    And it has an icing problem of the drain, that was a couple hour fix and now it's fine. Too many folks (not talking about your in-laws) just don't want to tackle some easy fixes to make their frustration go away.

    Customer brought this into the shop to see if I would sell it for him. Asked him how much, and after he told me I bought it on the spot.

    Colt Frontier Scout, .22LR only, Q suffix s/n (dates 1958). I would put it at 90% - normal wear on the muzzle and cylinder for a 62 year old gun. Bore and chambers are excellent to damn near factory condition. Grips (as you can see) show next to no wear.

    This matches a F suffix Frontier Scout from 1958 that my Dad gave to me.

    Both ranges had run away overheating issues that caused a fault code. Samsung had no parts available at the time, so it was easier to replace the whole range. The third one has been fine so far.

    Thanks for the tip on the refrigerator. They have a Samsung fridge that my MiL hates because of the ice maker. We bought her a countertop ice maker that she uses all the time, instead. I've never looked into the jamming issue, but will now.

    I'm impressed. The buckle is nothing like the old web-belt buckles I'm familiar with. The buckle is more like a forged part for a firearm--it's solid. The ratchet system is excellent, very secure. The belt itself is very stiff. It will hold anything I want to carry on my waist.

    I'd like to see more buckle choices. There are some Chinese knock-off ratchet belts that make some really nice looking buckles. They need to get on it, that's why I waited so long, I never saw any buckles I wanted to wear.
    I just got a similar model. The bottom edge of the web on my old belt was being frayed by the buckle. Could never figure out why. It was also the standard pinch lock. The new Kore is so much better and far more comfortable.

    I agree, you're the seller and you can set the price. But only twice? I'm going 100's of thousands!
