    Am I the only one who doesn’t really care for carving on a rifle stock?

    I like to use my guns, and sometimes when out in the woods things happen. I have tripped, I have dropped it,and how mant have stood it up leaning against a tree? Plain stock is easier to patch and refinish.

    Training beagles...

    Now I will clean it.

    My first flinter was a Pedersoli Kentucky 50 cal. I used Lehigh Valley Lube exclusively. I shot it during the early muzzleloader season and put it away and forgot to clean it. About a month later I took it out for squirrels, when you could still use a 50 for squirrels, and it fired first time ...

    Hollow points

    I would rely on a semi-wadcutter. They penetrate and cause massive wound channels. Wide Flat Nose also perform admirably. Yoe don't have to worry about the hollow nose filling up with clothing.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Some years ago I put some seed out on a stump behind the house. The wife works from home, and I figured that she could watch the birds feed on the seeds. Well a squirrel came in and was feeding on the seeds for a while when some turkeys came in the yard. The turkeys started for the seed patch...

    1858 grip

    I have fat fingers. My Uberti 1858 seems to crowd my middle finger. Any way to get a little more room between the back of the trigger guard and the grip?
