The Doc is out now.
One of the members has TDM’s address, so he sent him a letter to inquire about his status.
Waiting for whatever results come from that, but snail mail isn’t what it used to be. The snails got slower.

That's downright cool. I have some ebony and I'm thinking to do something like that with it. Got a pretty good sized piece if you want to try some.

Went out with the Woodsrunner to shoot target #2 of the NMLRA Postal Shoot. As usual, didn't do so hot. I think I will have to move to a bigger ball with the patches I have. Was using a .530 ball and .015 patches. I have some .535's which I will be pulling out to try again and see if I can do any better. I'm basically Minute of Deer, but I want to do better.
Also, it was hot out there. (making my excuses now)

Yesterday I came home with two lead roofing boots and some scrap lead from fitting new boots! My brother started a roofing company in our area and I am supervising the sub crews so I can claim the lead boots!!

got tired of scraping on the walnut Kentucky and stained it. then hung all the pieces and parts on it. next will be a finish and sights.
when i mount this rifle it falls perfectly onto my bicep with my eye seeing the full length of the barrel.
thinking of keeping this one and sending the Colonel something else!

Checked out a Doc Hopkins mountain rifle. I liked it a lot, but need more information/advice.

I was admiring the strong drop of your stock butt , very nice , and across the pond the Swiss liked it too 1885 in these 7.5/53 target rifles , of course I doubt you will fitting an uncomfortable Swiss target butt plate like my two But , you photo was begging for a comment. Nice But you need a wide plank of expensive wood, now worries ,
Much love from London

I like a big drop for my big fat head.
Inlet replacement lock plate washers into Euroarms 1853 Enfield. Now it has the square wings. Also swapped out the two lower barrel wings for Palmer types. Someone had already done the uppermost one. To the ancient, perhaps an original, decrepit leather sling I have hide glued a section of an old leather belt to splice where it had separated at the very hole where the hook had been attached. Last week I fitted a new replacement bayonet. It was a JOB, taking three days of filing. The clamping ring is not top quality. Does anyone know where an original clamping ring might be found? Should I cold blue that bayonet?
