Had one 25 years ago. Wish I hadn't sold it.

I don’t know how I ended up with it, but my mom used this to blow up balloons when I wasn’t even old enough to know how a balloon got blown up! Still works great!

Good keep sake they bring back good memories.
Made it to the range today. 73 degrees, light breeze, hit 9 of 10 centers with my .50 GPR, PRBs with 2f Goex, right in the middle of a bunch of ARs.

Golf balls make great file handles, just drill a 1/8 or 3/16 hole in them and tap the file in. They work great and have I think a better feel than a regular handle.

finished the on side grip panel on the Remington 1858. now tru oiling the thing. this panel is version 3.
gave one an extra lick with a sander and got it to thin at the half moon.
on the second one I got to feeling froggy and applied a rasp with too much pressure, snapped it in two. of course that one had the best figure in it. lucky blue air doesn't stain maple. the current threat is having to sleep in the garage.
Going to make some Ivory screw inserts I think.

Shot at our club’s annual turkey shoot, last weekend. Managed to split a card with one shot, and won a turkey on my second shot! Got some raffle prizes, too! Great weekend shoot! Thanks Muscogee Long Rifles!

you scored! looked at our local super 1 grocery today. they were pimping the organic birds. 15 pound bird, $132.50. I about messed my self. left hoping the flock of Jakes were still on the road to our house. could get rich plowing a dozen of them over!
Received my shooting box from Spiderman 317 today. Fantastic workmanship and functionality. I've got three of those hard plastic MSM boxes which have always worked well but I keep so much in them they weigh a ton. This will help simplify things on my range trips. I haven't been shooting since before my wife passed away almost four years ago, so now I have to go through them and see exactly what I have and transfer items over to the new box when I get back out there.

More filing...this time it's a CVA...I bought 2 parts kits at an auction (same auction that I bought the lefty barrel). I did a 'preliminary' rust cleanup file the day after I got them home. I'm finally getting serious about it. The locks fit in the stocks and the double set fires just fine. Regardless of what CVA called them...they're NOT Hawkens.
Yessiree! Amazingly, I remember paying $0.69 per pound, not that long ago, it seems.Happy Thanksgiving to you, all!

Went to the LGS for some powder and walked out with a Navy Arms Buffalo Hunter. The exterior wasn't in the best of shape, but the bore is 90%. Wasn't going to complain since I paid $100.00 for it!
