A very pretty rifle! It is cool that it is getting some use again.

Merry Christmas! I hope everybody has a peaceful holiday. Or an exciting one if that is your preference! 😃

I don't have one, but one of my gunsmithing instructors spoke highly of Tisas 1911s. He considered it the best value for a 1911 some years ago. The slides at the time were not forged as I believe the original Colts were, but they used high quality centrifugal casting rather than the traditional...

Man, I love black powder guns! Congrats on the doe!

I cannot say that I relate directly to a lot of what you have experienced, but I have fallen subject to a sickness that may be with me for the rest of my life that is quite similar to Lyme Disease. I am a young man that should be in the prime of life, but at times I was forced to realize that my...

I have no real concept of how a turkey call even works, but your craftsmanship is always fantastic looking.

Happy Thanksgiving, folks!

You know I think this is something I would benefit from learning sooner rather than later. I was reading an article a while back where a guy made several good points about choosing the lightest recoiling cartridge that could efficiently handle the given task. I weigh a bit less than 120 lbs. so...

Nice! Sounds like a thoroughly successful introduction to hunting for your grandson. Man, hearing about peoples first hunts makes me eager to get my first chance. I have plenty of life left to get my opportunity, so I'll get there, I just get a little antsy some times. 😄

I assume this is the system you are referring to? https://www.knifecenter.com/item/WSWSBCHPAJELT/work-sharp-precision-adjust-elite-knife-sharpener-with-seven-different-grits-carrying-case I like the look of it and have considered getting something like it a few times. However, I am very old...

My parents have decided to go to Disney World in Florida for their 28th anniversary! They just arrived at the hotel yesterday and I hope are having tons of fun at the park today. In order to make it possible me and my two adult brothers are staying to watch our six kid siblings. I am so glad...

Sickening... I would hope this is quite rare, but it seems like the frequency of all types grotesque crimes are on the rise. And yet so many people wonder why we need a moral standard. :(

This will be fun to see finished!

My sentiments as well. I would have thought two years ago that I would be quite excited at this result, but I am a little more withstrained at this point. Hopefully the next four years will see some improvement, but I can't help but think about the larger picture and what happens after the next...

I also appreciate the mods, people, and attitudes here. There are not many places on the internet I will bother to post, but this forum has been very nice to be on.

I thought I was gonna see some new steel targets, ha ha! And you know what, I just realized why it is special! It took me a second to read 30 NSLR, instead of just seeing 30N SLR. Nice!

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I have been loning it so far, just researching and diving in, it would be nice to have someone else in the field to discuss things with! I looked up how to make a shell carrier, how to measure out the loops and all that, and I don't think there is any reason I...

Thanks everyone, its encouraging that you guys like them! Hmmm, it's not something that I know exactly how I would do right off the bat, but I would be curious to try to think up how to make something like this. So far I have focused all my efforts on sheath making, so I am still getting my...

Hey folks, I got into some leather working recently and wanted to share. I have done some pretty intensive knife and sharpening research over the last three years and hope that I might be able to experiment with some crude knife making soon, I even have a rudimentary forge in the works for the...

I don't want to sound like I am throwing the baby out with the bathwater or that I hate everything Olympics related now. Like I said, this isn't the first time I've had a problem with a piece of the Olympics. I think you point out exactly why recent developments boil my blood though. There are...
