    Cheap import locks?

    Funny how things work out! Cheap locks bought from Dixie Gun Works, back in the 1960's were the only thing this child could afford to buy. I was 14 years old, cash was real hard to come by. I put in hay, peeled cascara bark, picked black berries and picked up beer bottles to make enough to buy a...

    alternate woods used for longrifles

    We have a tree here in the northwest that is interesting. It is called a Cascara, it has a nice yellow wood that is pretty hard when dry. Last time we were shooting, we had a iron pot of beans heating over the fire for lunch, I had forgot a spoon to stir the beans with and started toward a...

    alternate woods used for longrifles

    Very nice! I have some pieces of tiger stripe maple but they are only just over 1" thick. I was wondering if anyone had laminated a stock out of say 5/4. The wood has very tight tiger stripe, It is Oregon Maple. Jack

    alternate woods used for longrifles

    I have always used maple for stocking longrifles, but have seen Walnut, Cherry and Ash used as well, what other woods have you seen used for stocking a longrifle? Jack

    One thing I will ask which seems obvious to me is the grooves of this barrel. They seem that they were filed to a sharp Vee. Does this impair accuracy at all? Jack

    Muzzle Decoration

    I have noticed both on contemporary and antique guns decoration in the form of stamping on the muzzles of many long rifles, I would like to see examples of this type of decoration, so I can employ it in the rifle I am building. Jack

    North Oregon Coast

    The way I got a hold of the guy was I called the number 503-325-8446. A man answered the phone and told me that the club was no longer. He said that the club had lost it's shooting range. He had some stuff for sale, and dropped by my house and sold me two tomahawks and two powder horns that were...

    Elbridge Trask

    Elbridge Trask is my 4th grandfather, his time with Nathaniel Wyeth, Osburn Russell, and travel to the very secluded Tillamook area of Oregon are all worth reads and studies. Elbridge had a funny trait, when ever Indians attacked the group, Elbridge was out trapping and always missed the fun...
