Hey Jim, thanks! We had that shipped in on a flatbed or two, and put it all together, about twenty years ago. Full insulation, and plywood walls up to 8 feet on the inside. There are matching roll ups on the back so you can drive through. I’ve done everything from rebuild an AirStream to throw...

Hey! Those are my relatives you’re making fun of!!! -Red, known to pick a banjar at times…

Ain’t that the truth! I said the same thing about expensive pocket knives. I carry a cheap knife everywhere with me. I can throw that thing in the river, and it will be back in my pocket before I get home somehow. But a really nice knife? Those things walk off all on their own. -Red, bargain...

It was fun. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do. I reported Raul to Immigration, and Ron DeSantis flew him to Martha’s Vineyard. So that solved that problem for me… -Red, writing in DeSantis in the primaries whether he runs or not…

That’s what I like about the truck I drive. 2002 Silverado 2500HD, 365,000 miles. Has a 2012 bed on it, so it’s a lot like this gun… but I take that through THICK brush, and don’t sweat the scratches! If you’re a Chevy fan, it hurts your eyes. -Red, trucks and guns both wrong…

Thanks. I was honestly going to try and hide the joint with super dark stain, but I don’t know enough about wood staining, apparently, LOL! I won’t have any problem getting used to it though. I’m not sure why they don’t just sell it as a one piece kit though. I know they make one, but according...

One other lesson learned: When marking where to drill the hole for your barrel pins, take a LOT of time, and make very precise measurements. I thought I had, well, close enough anyways, lol, and got a little high on the front one. Not bad, but not centered either. Just barely nicked the flat on...

Ladies and gentlemen, please Would you bring your attention to me? For a feast for your eyes to see An explosion of catastrophe… Well, here she is…. behold CROW in all her splendor! Don’t be jealous fellers! You too could have something this nice… Ok, enough of the BS. Got her done! This was a...

Welcome from waaaay over here on the east coast. The great state of North Florida (we seceded from the south half of the state) welcomes you! -Red, trying to start the secession…

Either half would look good if it was a one piece stock, but the back half looks more like a modern stock…

Get it and let’s get to building! -Red, encouragement personified…

We need to start a Traditions Kentucky online match. Stipulation: you have to shoot a two piece stock rifle… I’ll see what I can work up. Naturally won’t be until after I get Crow finished. -Red, he didn’t start the fire…

Thanks. It is what it is. If the whole stock would have been made out of the same piece of wood that the front half is, it would have been really pretty. There’s a cool little burble in that front half. Not sure what you’d call it, but I like how it looks.

Ok, apart from painting it black, as was suggested earlier by Appalichian Hunter, or completely painting it, as 64Springer suggested, I just ain’t going to be able to hide the transition. I’ve tried Provincial brown straight on it, which makes most wood look like a Hershey bar, and it just won’t...

If the two kitsare exactly the same, I would see if they have two of the halves that are close together in grain. While I’m pretty happy with how it is coming along, and I like the how the front half looks, and I like how the back half looks, I’m not liking the transition. If they were closer in...

Welcome, from the craggy peaks of North Florida! -Red, living in a swamp…

I was wrong on the capital gains on your house… Back to original thread: NEVER sell a gun. Unless you’re selling it to me for a really good deal! I only miss the nice revolvers I’ve sold, and one sweet 25-06. Other than that, meh, they’re guns. Now, all my “family guns”, never ever selling them...

Problem is, all the houses have gone up. He doesn’t make any money unless he sells, the capital gains is going to hit him at, what is it right now, 38%? And then where does he live? He would blow all the money buying a new house, AFTER giving Uncle his cut, and be in a lower value home than...

Do you pay property tax? Insurance? The brother’s pay went to 900 a week, but now he’s paying taxes and insurance on a 350,000 dollar house… with money that he is taxed on already, by both the state and the feds. -Red, slightly irritated with homeowners insurance rates at the moment…

It’s not so much going over the falls that is hard, but that part when you reach the bottom…
