Most advertised as hard cast, are too hard for the intended purpose.

The stock doesn't look all that bad. I would soak some rawhide and stitch it around weak areas, like the old ones were repaired. That way, you save the integrity of the original.

Are you working the bolt as intended on a Mauser? Treating it like a rented mule?

I've had a couple rifles I relieved the extractor cut a bit to allow easier feeding, but you pretty much have to...

Don't make the mistake of feeding them. They get too pushy if you do!

I would think at the proper heat it should work okay.
I've been making my own pike spoons for years from old tablespoons. MUCH better action than commercial spoons, and they catch lots of pike.
I...

Good write up, and good job of not killing the snake.
I remember many years ago a little cafe on the Mississippi, advertising "The worst food on the Mississippi River". They had excellent smoked eel...

I use the $15 ones off Ebay, they work fine for most people. They are handy to stick in the pocket to take to gun shows.
I was surprised last summer to let a couple other gun builders and a...

I saw similar up in British Columbia, at Ft. Steele. Mixed rain and snow, all the non-natives had on every stitch they owned. The natives were in shorts, sandals, and t-shirts, apparently perfectly...

The question should be, what can I get a fast accurate second shot with? You will have less than a second to find out if you have a social engagement with a bear.

Wally Bator designed several boolits for us over the years. All of them are good designs. I think a couple companies have added them to their catalogs.

The hardest thing to come by if you are an old fart, is eyes good enough to do the job. I still have my copy of Monte Kennedy's book on checkering, including some of his old cancelled checks. ...

No notices in Montana, though I would get a notice from the RCMP for my PAL renewals. RCMP asks for a current background check to renew. I sent them a copy of a recent FBI background check, since I...

I use 'Healthy Feet" for my shoes, they have fitting charts. They also have 6EEEEEE in some styles for my busted up feet.

I've seen winter kill make floaters. Call your county extension agent and ask him about it.

It sounds like you may be over priming if you have a lag.

Must have changed over the years, I have some that are regular files.

that's exactly what I mean.

The cheap ones from Harbor Freight work just fine for the purpose.

I live 40 miles south of the park. I use air cooled wheel weights. There are so damned many tourists in Glacier in the summer, you can surely run faster than one of them.
You are aware of the entry...

The yard sales were great for a couple years after Y2K!

A decent flint lock will cost you $240 without anything else included.

I believe the original post answered that question. As does your own post.

At our military and sporting rifle matches, heavy angle iron is put over the hangers. Saves them pretty well.

I worked in an industrial radiator factory in the early '70's. Aluminum was the rule of the day for the big heavy equipment radiators. Some weighed over 400#, so weight was an issue.

They make a lovely companion piece for their Taurus.
