    hidden hinge PB and rifle sights

    Just an observation from a novice here. I image the hard part of working those sites are holding them. So would it be easier to leave the bar intact, drill a series of holes using a jig on your drill press, then clamp the bar in vise and work the one at the end and on down the bar? I don't...

    New Shop

    Probably a neighbor with a cotton jin, I was wondering the same thing, what is that white stuff on top. Very nice shop, every time I think of building one, a Kid needs something like a car or a wedding so I keep putting it off.

    Wisconsin gobbler score.

    Those wet birds don't make for the best picture in the world but you can fluff them back up with hair dryer if you want to cape them or keep the tail fan. Congrats. Especially a rainy day flint bird. I know you were probably saying before the shot "please go boom, please go boom" LOL.

    How do you keep box call quiet???

    Take your grease gun and squirt a bead down the uprights, then leave it in the truck. :haha: The Kiss system is take a paper towel and put between the the lid and box. Rubber bands on the old lynch is good but I find they dont last to long and will stick to the call when they get real old...

    TOW Bucks County Rifle Kit Update

    Mr. B, I think ya done good. :hatsoff: No doubt I followed the build as it gave myself and I think several folks the information that we need to attempt a build. Your build was not perfect as mine and 99% of others are not perfect, it represents what can be done and that is what I believe to...

    TOW Bucks County Rifle Kit Update

    That dove tail tool, would be a door stop tool. You getting short on the videos Mr. B. should have had the barrel work in front. The browning looked like it came out good.
